Flange connection to EN 1092-2, PN 10
Maximum operating pressure PS 6/8/10 bar
Nominal diameters DN 50 DN 600
Field of application: Wastewater
Face-to-face length to EN 558-1 Basic series 20 (DIN 3202
K1)
Standard type: Body parts made of EN-JL 1040 (grey cast
iron 25), bearing plate and thrust piece made of EN-JS
1030 (DCI 40), U-seal and lateral seal made of elastomer
(NBR), sheet-metal yoke structure made of stainless steel
grade 1.4301, knife made of stainless steel grade 1.4301,
stem made of stainless steel 1.4021
Internally and externally epoxy coated
Types of actuation:
-- With handwheel
-- With hand lever
-- With electric actuator
-- With pneumatic actuator
Fully flanged valve, can be used as wafer-type or end-of-
line valve without additional counter-flange at full operating
pressure.
Free passage prevents deposits in the valve bore.
Tight in both flow directions. This prevents installation
errors.
Integrated scraper profiles on both sides for continuous
cleaning of the knife increases the safety of operation and
the service life.
The lateral seal can be readjusted during operation and re-
placed without dismantling the valve from the pipeline. This
reduces maintenance time and downtime.
The soft, profiled, elastic lateral guide of the knife ensures
fail-safe sealing function.
The specially profiled seal width in the bottom passage
reduces maintenance work and guarantees safe operation.
The compact body with stainless steel sheets effectively
protects the valve against dirt and atmospheric influences.

Special types:
-- With stem made of stainless steel grade 1.4057
-- With knife made of stainless steel grade 1.4571
-- With encapsulated yoke for submerged installation

Specially profiled lateral seal with double Quadring profile
and integrated PTFE sliding rods for optimum guiding of the
knife.
The bearing of the knife and its axial guiding by PTFE sliding
rails with elastic bearing reduce operation forces.
The soft, profiled and elastic lateral guide of the knife ensu-
res fail-safe sealing function.
The specially profiled seal width in the bottom passage
ensures that the valve is drop-tight.
