Giacomini N6 Clapper Check Valve 16bar

The clapet check valves with N6 metal seal are single-direction devices which
prevent 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.
