Tyco Valves and Controls has launched the new Keystone F264J Stainless steel non-return valve for reverse flow protection. The new design was developed by Tyco Flow Controls’ Hygienic Process Equipment Division and provides ease-of-maintenance, high flow coefficients, and greater reliability than many competing products for hygienic applications.
The valve features a stainless steel construction and a design that facilitates in-line cleanability and gives high flow co-efficient values. It is also compact and easy to maintain. Tyco’s design team has also re-engineered the centre bearing area, to reduce the rate of wear and tackle the early failure to which non-return valves can typically be prone.
The resilient seal provides tight shut-off, and the valve can be installed in any position. End connections are available in butt weld or clamp versions as standard, and other end connections are available upon request. A flow direction indicator has also been incorporated to prevent incorrect installation.
