The Dixon DSCV Series is a swing check valve designed to prevent backflow in industrial pipes without restricting flow. Unlike conventional spring check valves, the swing design allows for nearly free flow, minimizing pressure drop. This valve can operate in extreme temperatures up to 208°C (406°F), making it the ideal choice for saturated steam lines and severe industrial applications where imported valves fail.
Key Technical Features:
-
American Manufacturing: Robust casting and 100% factory tested, ensuring zero porosity defects.
-
Suitable for Steam (Metal Seat): Designed to withstand up to 150 PSI of Steam, thanks to its metal-to-metal seal that does not degrade with temperature.
-
Y-Pattern Design: Facilitates maintenance and offers more hydrodynamic flow than conventional T-pattern checks.
-
Class 150: Meets thick-wall standards for greater durability and resistance to water hammer.
-
Wide Temperature Range: Operates from -29°C to 208°C (-20°F to 406°F).
