1 Description of Product and Performance

ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves (EDRV)
DN 80 – 600, PN10 – PN40 Product No. 435...00
The ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve is a non-return valve of compact design
and short pattern, with central rubber-coated valve disc (DN 80-300) or valve ring (DN
350-600) which opens and closes in axial direction, the closing movement being spring-
assisted.
Thanks to the materials and the sealing and corrosion protection systems, the
ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve is suitable for application in the water
industry (mechanically neutral water up to a max. temperature of 60° C) and for pre-
treated sewage.
In case of hot flow media, there is the risk of burns and the valve has to be heat-
insulated by the user.
The normal range of flow velocity of the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve is
0,5 – 5 m/s (referred to the nominal size DN). At a velocity of 2 m/s (referred to DN) the
ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve is used in a fully economical way. With
these velocities, all nominal sizes are in fully open position.
For opening the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve , according to DN, 0,5 – 0,9
mWC (50 – 90 mbar) as minimum differential pressure is necessary. The valve opens at
this differential pressure and the medium begins to flow. For tight closure, a minimum
back pressure of approx. 4.0 mWC (400 mbar) is necessary for DN 80 – 300 and of
approx. 8 mWC (800 mbar) for DN 350 – 600.

Corrosion protection for DN 80 – 600:
The body is internally vitreous-enamelled and externally EKB coated (synthetic epoxy
coating). All other parts are made of stainless materials.
Recesses are provided at the centering of the internal body in the main body so that the
transitions between the uncoated and coated surface can be filled with sealing agent.
This protects and seals these critical areas against the flow medium.
1.3 Performance and Mode of Operation

The ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve is a flow-controlled non-return valve
with centrally and axially moved obturator. This obturator with the shape of a valve disc
(DN 80 – 300) or a valve ring (for DN 350 and larger) is guided by means of one (four) a
guiding stem(s) in an internal body. The closing movement of the valve is spring-
assisted (one or four springs).
The ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve is resilient-seated, with tight closure
according to DIN EN 12266 / 1074 – leakage rate 1 (0 drop per minute), at a minimum
back pressure of 4.0 mWC (400 mbar) and larger for DN 80 – 300 and a minimum back
pressure of 8.0 mWC (800 mbar) and larger for DN 350 – 600.
The valve starts opening at incipient velocity and is fully open at a velocity of approx. 2
m/s. The opening process can be influenced by a special spring which is designed for
special cases of application.
The standard design is suitable for installation in horizontal pipeline and for vertical
pipeline and for vertical upward flow. When the valve is installed in a vertical pipeline
with downward flow, the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valve has to be equipped
with a special spring. Moreover, a remachined internal body is used which is designed
with additional bores for drainage of the internal body (see fig. 1.1 and 1.2).
1.4 Application according to the rules

Thanks to their design, the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves are applied
according to the General Instructions BA01E001 Section 1.1.
1.5 Transport and storage

1.5.1 Transport

The ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves DN 300 and smaller should be
transported by means of belts which are to be placed around the flange necks and to
be suspended at the lifting gear (see fig. 1.3).
The ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves DN 350 to 600 are provided with
threaded holes (M16) at the flanges. Thus, it is possible to transport the ERHARD
Check Valves by means of eyebolts.
Fig. 4.2: Installation in vertical

Fig. 1.3: Installation in horizontal pipeline pipeline
(left hand: Check Valve DN 80 – 300, right
hand: Check Valve DN 350 – 600)
For installation into vertical pipeline insert two bolts of appropriate material and strength
into two opposite flange holes to which the belts are fixed at the flange back (see fig.
1.4). Please provide protective devices at the bolts (e.g. sleeves of plastic material ...)
for protecting the coating of the flange holes.
1.5.2 Storage
The ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves are to be secured by means of wedges
or belts (fig 1.5) against rolling off, or good stability has to be ensured by putting them
horizontally on the flange (fig. 1.6).
Fig. 1.5 Fig.1.6
1.6 Installation into the Pipeline

Remove all packing material from the valve. Prior to installation, check the pipeline
for impurities and foreign bodies and clean it if necessary.
Attention !
Follow direction of installation

according to the cast-on arrow!
The valve opens in case of flow from A to

B and closes in reverse direction from B to
A, thus preventing backflow!
Fig. 1.7
There must be free access all around the valve for operation and maintenance.
Prior to installation into the pipeline the function of the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle
Check Valve can be checked by pressing the obturator onto the stop of the internal
body. When releasing the obturator, the obturator must be pressed into the seat by the
spring, completely and automatically. (Check installation position accordingly.)
Installation in horizontal and vertical pipeline is

possible. For installation in vertical pipeline with
upward flow a standard spring is used as for
ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle installation in horizontal pipeline. The installation
Check Valve position is marked on the nameplate (5.2). The
Serial No.: 000000/00/00 springs for the standard case (→ ↑) are marked
Admiss.work.pressure PFA __bar accordingly – like all the other springs.
Flanges PN ?? A special spring is used for installation in vertical
Sealing material: NBR pipeline with downward flow (↓). In this case, the
Spring: standard internal body has an additional bore.
Position of installation: →↑
Fig. 5.2 Standard nameplate
During installation of the valve, the distance between the pipe flanges should exceed
the valve face-to-face dimension by at least 20 mm. Thus, the raised faces will not be
damaged and the gaskets can be inserted. Up to PN 16 textile reinforced rubber seals
are recommended for use as flange gaskets. Steel-reinforced rubber seals are
recommended for PN 25 and higher. For slip-on flanges, they are absolutely
necessary. (Consider resistance to flow medium and temperature.)
The mating pipe flanges must be plain-parallel and concentric.
Tighten the connecting bolts evenly (without distortion) and crosswise. The pipeline
mustn't by any means be pulled up to the valve.
Warning
Follow the applicable safety rules according to

VGB 9a and wear the
necessary personal protective equipment.
Risk of injury!
Warning
During transport or installation of the

ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check
Valves, there may be the risk of
bruising the fingers by uncontrolled
movement of the obturator.
Attention! Risk of bruises!
Risk of penetration of flow medium!

Prior to putting into operation and after carrying out maintenance work, check
tightness of the flange connections and screwed connections if any or replace the
seals.
Attention: For DN 300 – 600, the guiding stems exceed the face-to-face
dimension of the valve in fully open position (see Tables
"Dimensions of ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves DN 80 -
300" and "Dimensions of ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check Valves
350 – 600". Consider corresponding valves or fittings downstream of
the valve!
Installation directly upstream or downstream of bends, T-pieces or valves has

to be avoided.
Note concerning installation:
We recommend to design the non-return

valve in the nominal size DN of the
delivery side of the pump. (DN of pump =
DN of ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle
Check Valve.)
Thus, there will be – referred to the
nominal size – a higher flow velocity and
thus an optimum operating performance
(opening degree, economic efficiency). If
the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check
Valve is mounted directly on the delivery
side of the pump, irregular flow and
vibrations of the ERHARD Check Valve
might have negative effects (releasing
screwed connections, damaging the
seals, spring breaking, and increased
wear and tear of the mobile valve and
bearing components).
Therefore we recommend a distance of

min. 5 – 7 x DN (especially for speed-
controlled pumps) or a minimum velocity
of 2 – 3 m/s for the ERHARD NON SLAM
Nozzle Check Valve in order to ensure
that the valve is fully open.
Fig. 1.9
2 Maintenance
Control of the performance and tightness of the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check
Valve is to be done at regular intervals according to DVGW print W390. Inspection or
repair of the valve must not be carried out before the pipe section in which the valve is
installed has been isolated and made pressure-less.
WARNING
Before carrying out maintenance work on the
valve, any pressurised pipeline has to be
made pressure-less and to be secured
against re-starting!
After finishing the maintenance work, any
Warning connection has to be checked for tightness
and close fit.
DANGER
In case of penetration of dangerous liquids, substances, gases, and
steams, immediately the plant has to be shut down, the responsible
supervisor must be informed and appropriate repair work has to be
carried out.
The personal protective equipment according to the rules of the
employer's liability insurance association must be used. Depending
Danger
on the flow medium, there is the risk of poisoning, causticization,
scalding, and danger due to biological and microbiological
substances as well as the risk of fire and explosion!

2.3 Replacement of the spare parts / necessary tools

For replacing above mentioned wearing parts, the ERHARD NON SLAM Nozzle Check
Valve has to be removed from the pipeline after having depressurized the pipeline. The
internal body (2) is secured in the body (3) in the following manner:
- for sizes DN 80 to 300 with 3 threaded pins M6 with internal hexagon 3 mm (1),
- for sizes DN 350 to 500 with 4 threaded pins M6 with internal hexagon 3 mm (1) and
- for size DN 600 with 4 threaded pins M8 with internal hexagon 4 mm.
These pins must be screwed off.
DN 80 – 300:
For removing the internal body (2) from

the body (3), a force of approx. 20 kN
is required. This force can be applied
by means of a press, an auxiliary
mounting tool or similar device as
shown in fig. 2.3.1.
The tool is centrally placed on the

pushed back valve disc, both bolts are
tightened in two opposite flange holes
with washers and nuts, parallel to the
raised face. The internal body is
pressed out of the main body by means
of the central bolt (4). When pressing
the internal body out of its position, it
should be held in order to avoid
damage to the coating.
Fig. 2.3.1
DN 350 – 600:
For removing the internal body (2) from

the body (3), a force of approx. 40 kN
is required. This force can be applied
by means of a press, an auxiliary
mounting tool or similar device as
shown in fig. 2.3.2.
The tool is centrally placed on the
pushed back valve ring so that the
bolts (4) required for expulsion are
centrally arranged on the width of the
valve ring. The two fastening bolts are
tightened in two opposite flange holes
with washers and nuts, parallel to the
raised face.
The internal body is pressed out of the

main body, screwing-in the bolts (4) in a
slow and uniform manner. When
screwing-in, the corresponding nuts
have
to be secured against following the
bolts. When pressing the internal
body out of its position, it should be
held
in order to avoid damage to the coating.

Assembly DN 80 – 600:
During assembly, internal body, valve disc (ring), spring(s), and guiding stem(s) are
pushed into the internal body. The valve disc (ring) can be fixed in its rear limit position
by means of bolt(s) including washer(s) (5), screwed into the guiding stem(s). The fitting
surface (fig. 2.4) of the internal body, has to be cleaned. The body’s fitting surface which
must also be cleaned has to be covered with sealing agent BA51 on the two transitions
to vitreous enamel as well as in the groove in which the threaded pins are engaged.
After having pushed the internal body into the main body, the threaded pins have to be
secured with BA5, too, and screwed into the groove. The internal hexagon of the
threaded pins is filled with BA5 in order to ensure further screwing off. Excessive
sealing agent must be removed from both transitions and be smoothed. For mounting
the internal body in the main body, see also fig. 2.4.
