ky The Safe Choice

LKC-2 Non-return Valve
Application
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. LKC-2 has
welding ends for ISO or DIN connections.

Materials
Steel parts:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Stainless steel 1.4301

(304) or acid-resistant steel
1.4404 (316L).
Seal rings: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .EPDM rubber.
Finish: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Semi bright.
LKC-2, non-return valve.

Connections
The valve is available with welding ends for tubes according to ISO
and DIN 11850.

Technical data
Required differential pressure for opening the valve when fitted in a
vertical pipe, as shown in fig. 3, is approx. 6 kPa (0.06 bar).
Max. product pressure: . . . . . . . . . . .1000 kPa (10 bar).
Max. temperature: . . . . . . . . . . . . . .140C (EPDM).
Min. temperature: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .-10C.

Option
Product wetted seal rings of Nitrile (NBR) or Fluorinated rubber (FPM).
