Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
Compatible with water for heating systems, domestic hot water, and water containing up to 30% glycol. The valve features female threaded connections (ISO 228) and operates within a temperature range of 5 to 95°C, with occasional peaks up to 110°C. It supports a maximum working pressure of 16 bar and an opening pressure of 0.05 bar.

Materials
The valve body is made of brass UNI EN 12165 - CW617N for sizes 3/8” to 1” and brass UNI EN 1982 - CB753S for sizes 1 1/4” to 3”. The cap and shutter are also made of brass UNI EN 12165 CW617N, with an NBR O-ring.

Pressure Losses
Pressure loss varies by size, with Kv values ranging from 2.9 for 3/8” to 103 for 3”.

Installation Guidelines
The valves can be installed horizontally or vertically, ensuring the flow direction matches the arrow on the valve body. In horizontal installations, the inspection cap must face upwards. Vertical installations require upward flow direction. Threaded attachments are used for fitting.

Maintenance
Regular checks are recommended based on usage frequency and conditions. If gasket seal issues arise, inspect and clean the shutter and gasket by removing the inspection cap and using compressed air or mechanical methods.

Description
The N6 metal seal clapet check valves prevent the return of pressurized fluid and are suitable for various applications, including domestic water systems, fire protection, and industrial uses. They operate quietly with minimal pressure loss due to their design.

Product Codes and Dimensions
Product codes range from N6Y002 for 3/8” to N6Y010 for 3”. Dimensions vary by size, with G and H measurements provided for each.

Clapet Check valve ,  metal seal N6-1

Boiler room components 0314EN May 2015 Clapet check valve, metal seal N6 Technical data • ompatible fluids: water for heating systems, domestic hot water, water C containing glycol (max. 30 % glycol) • Connections: female threaded ISO 228 • Temperature range: 5÷95 °C (110 °C for occasional peaks) • Max. working pressure: 16 bar • Opening pressure: 0,05 bar Materials • Valve body: brass UNI EN 12165 - CW617N (3/8”÷1”) brass UNI EN 1982 - CB753S (1 1/4”÷3”) • Cap: brass UNI EN 12165 CW617N O-ring : NBR • Shutter: brass UNI EN 12165 CW617N The clapet check valves with N6 metal seal are single-direction devices which percent the return of pressurised fluid. They are suitable for use in domestic water systems, raised water systems, fire protection, central heating and boiler room systems, solar plants, and water systems for industrial and agricultural applications in general. The internal hydraulic seal is ensured by the forces exercised by the mass of a tilting shutter and by the pressure of the liquid above a gasket which activates the seal, even when subject to minimal back pressure. Due to the fact that these valves function via the gravitational force that acts on the tilting shutter (clapet or swing), there is no universal guideline as to where these should be positioned. The advantage of these valves is the low incidence of losses of pressure due to the rounded shape of the valve body and the large passage section which is obtained via the oscillation of the shutter; these elements also mean that they are extremely quiet. Installation The clapet check valves can be installed horizontally or vertically, respecting the flow direction indicated by the arrow stamped on the valve body. In the horizontal position, the valve must be installed with the inspection cap facing upwards; otherwise the valve cannot function. In the vertical position, the valve only operates if the flow direction is upwards. The valves are fitted onto the piping via threaded attachments, according to normal hydraulic practice. Versions and product codes Product code Maintenance Check the valve periodically, in accordance with the frequency of use and the working conditions. Where there are losses linked to issues with the gasket seal, these may be caused by deposits or foreign bodies. In such cases, the inspection cap positioned on the upper part of the valve can be removed, so that the state of the shutter can be checked and the gasket can be cleaned, removing impurities with compressed air or mechanically. This operation can be carried out having previously emptied the section of the system affected.
