LKC-2 Non-return Valve

                                   
Concept

Non-return valve LKC-2 is designed for use in stainless steel pipe

installations to prevent reverse flow.

Working principle

LKC-2 opens when the pressure below the valve plug exceeds the

pressure above the plug and the spring force.

The valve closes when pressure equalization has been achieved. A

higher counter pressure will press the valve plug against the seat.

Standard Design

The valve body is in two parts, assembled by means of a clamp ring

and hygienically sealed with a special seal ring. A guide disc and four

legs guide the spring loaded valve plug with an O-ring seal.

The valve is available with welding ends for tubes according to ISO

and DIN 11850.
