TECOFI CB3449-EPA Dual Plate Check Valve, Iron Body, Stainless Plates

CB3449-EPA is a Tecofi (France) wafer-type dual plate (double plate) check valve: EN-GJL-250 cast iron body, stainless steel plates and springs, EPDM ACS seat, 16 bar, DN40 to DN800, for hot water, cold water and compatible fluids. This page covers CB3449-EPA only; CB4449-EA has the same design and stainless plates and springs but a ductile iron body and a range only up to DN600.

Specifications

• Body: cast iron EN-GJL-250 (GG25) for DN40-DN500; ductile iron EN-GJS-400-15 (GGG40) at DN600
• Plates (2): stainless steel GX5CrNiMo 19-11-2 (equivalent to ASTM A351 CF8M / AISI 316)
• Springs: stainless steel GX5CrNiMo 19-11-2 (equivalent to ASTM A351 CF8M / AISI 316)
• Hinge pin and stop pin: stainless steel GX5CrNiMo 19-11-2 (equivalent to ASTM A351 CF8M / AISI 316)
• Bearings: PTFE; plugs: stainless steel; eye bolt (DN200 and larger only): carbon steel
• Seat: EPDM ACS
• Connection: wafer, between PN10/16 flanges (EN 1092-1, ISO 7005-1) / ASME B16.5 Class 150
• Size range: DN40 đến DN800
• Max. working pressure: 16 bar; back pressure for sealing: 2 bar
• Working temperature: +5°C / +110°C

Dimensions, weight and order codes

L is the face-to-face length (column B of the datasheet). A “—” means the order code of that size is not in CAD’s current list; contact CAD to check.

Difference from CB4449-EA

• Cast iron EN-GJL-250 (GG25) body at DN40-DN500 (DN600 uses ductile iron EN-GJS-400-15); CB4449-EA has an EN-GJS-400-15 ductile iron body at every size.
• Range DN40 to DN800; CB4449-EA stops at DN600.
• Weight per size differs from CB4449-EA (for example DN100: 4.85 kg against 4.38 kg).
• Same 316 (CF8M) stainless plates, springs, hinge and stop pins, EPDM ACS seat, 16 bar and +5°C / +110°C as CB4449-EA.
• Across these two codes, the first digit 3 or 4 goes with cast iron or ductile iron body; the datasheet does not explain the code scheme (suffix -EPA / -EA).

Applications

The datasheet names pumping, water supply, air conditioning and heating, chemical industry and hydraulic installations. Fluids: hot water, cold water and compatible fluids. Suited to unloaded fluid transfer under regular, non-pulsating conditions.

Standards / Approvals

• Design to EN 16767; meets the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (module H).
• Face-to-face length to EN 558 series 16.
• Mounting between PN10/16 flanges to EN 1092-1 and ISO 7005-1, in line with ASME B16.5 Class 150.
• Hydraulic tests to EN 12266-1, DIN 3230 and ISO 5208: body 24 bar, seat 17.5 bar.
• Body coating: epoxy powder RAL 5015, 250 microns, corrosion protection class C5 (medium durability, C5M) following NF EN ISO 12944.
• The Product approvals section of the datasheet lists: Health compliance certificate no. 19 ACC LY 532.

Installation

• Can be mounted on horizontal or vertical pipework; the arrow on the body shows the flow direction.
• For horizontal mounting the valve axis must be vertical; for vertical mounting the flow is upward.
• Keep a straight run of 3 to 5 times the minimum diameter upstream and downstream of an elbow or appliance to stay out of turbulence that increases wear.
• At a pump discharge, follow FD CEN/TR 13932.
