Check Valve - DISCONNECTOR - ECO 3T Series - 1/2 inch; L=174mm – SALE BRA.ECO 3T

Product detailed description

This check valve is commonly used in plumbing and sanitation systems where backflow prevention is essential. It is suitable for installation in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. The device ensures unidirectional flow in systems where contamination from reverse flow could pose a risk. It is typically installed in liquid lines carrying non-corrosive media, such as potable water or other clean fluids. The compact design and standard thread connections make it suitable for integration into existing systems without major modifications.

When installing this device, it is important to consider the flow direction and system layout. The valve must be positioned so that the flow enters the inlet and exits the outlet. The maximum operating pressure is specified in the manufacturer’s technical data sheet, and the temperature range is from 0°C to +65°C. The device is not suitable for high-temperature or aggressive media. It is essential to ensure that the system is compatible with the material properties of the valve components.

Technical parameters

Code	ECO3T012
Brand	IVAR

The maximum operating pressure is 10 bar, and the temperature range is from 0°C to +65°C. These parameters are critical for correct sizing and selection. The valve must be used in systems where the media falls within these limits. The body and cover are made of brass or bronze, and the membrane is EPDM, which is suitable for non-aggressive liquids. The device must be installed with a filter upstream to prevent clogging of the internal components.Installation and connection The device is connected via threaded ports of 1/2 inch. The installation must be carried out in accordance with the direction of flow indicated on the valve body. The upstream side must have a filter installed to prevent particulate matter from entering the valve and damaging the EPDM membrane. A common mistake is not installing the filter, which can lead to premature failure. The valve must also be connected to a drainage system to allow for the discharge of any trapped liquid or condensate. It is important to ensure that the installation location allows for easy access for inspection and maintenance. The device must not be installed in systems where the media contains abrasive particles or where the temperature exceeds the specified range.Compatibility and accessories This check valve is compatible with systems using non-corrosive liquids and must be used in conjunction with a filter upstream. The filter is essential for the long-term performance of the valve and must be selected according to the system’s flow rate and particle load. No other accessories are required for standard installation. The device is not compatible with high-temperature or aggressive media, and no alternative products are listed for this model.Technical background for designers The check valve operates by allowing flow in one direction and closing automatically to prevent reverse flow. The EPDM membrane is flexible and ensures a tight seal when the flow is reversed. The body is made of brass or bronze, which provides good corrosion resistance in non-aggressive environments. The device is designed to be integrated into systems where backflow prevention is required, such as in drainage or circulation lines. The service life is influenced by the quality of the upstream filter, the cleanliness of the media, and the operating temperature. The valve must be installed in a location that allows for regular inspection and cleaning of the filter.Service and operation The valve requires no regular maintenance if the upstream filter is functioning correctly. However, it is recommended to inspect the filter periodically and clean or replace it as needed. The membrane and internal components should be checked for signs of wear or damage. If the valve fails to close properly or shows signs of leakage, it should be replaced. There are no specified service intervals in the brief, so maintenance should be carried out based on system performance and visual inspection.Frequently asked questions

Can the ECO 3T 1/2 inch check valve be used in high-temperature systems?
No, the device is only suitable for systems operating between 0°C and +65°C. Use in higher temperatures may damage the EPDM membrane and compromise the seal.

Is it necessary to install a filter with this check valve?
Yes, a filter must be installed upstream to prevent particulate matter from entering the valve and causing damage to the internal components.

Can this valve be used in aggressive chemical environments?
No, the device is only suitable for non-aggressive liquids. Use in chemical environments may cause corrosion of the body or degradation of the EPDM membrane.

What is the maximum operating pressure for this model?
The maximum operating pressure is 10 bar. Exceeding this may lead to failure of the internal components.
