GESTRA BB 32C–36C & BB 32A–36A Dual-Plate Check Valves

GESTRA BB 32C–36C & BB 32A–36A Dual-Plate Check Valves

Dual-plate check valves prevent return flow in horizontal and vertical pipelines. They are wafer-type valves of double swing design.

For installation in horizontal pipelines, they are fitted with closing springs. For installation in vertical pipes with upward flow, closing springs may be included if required. For instal- lation in vertical pipes with downward flow, they require 5VO closing springs.

Dual-plate check valves can be used for liquids, gases and vapours in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive.

The EN series complies with European requirements and the ASME series complies with American requirements.

BB 3… is available made of steel (BB 3…C) or stainless steel (BB 3…A).

The swing disc’s standard seat gaskets are metal-to-metal seals.

  • The ASME series BB 3…ASME (NPS 6″ – 20″) is optionally available with face to face dimension according to EN Replaces BB 1…ASME and BB 2…ASME.
  • Depending on the temperature limits and chemical resistance, seat gaskets such as EPDM, FPM (FKM), NBR or PTFE are available
  • The stainless steel closing springs can be chosen according to installation position
  • Closing springs optionally available made of Inconel (7WAI)
  • For systems that may experience pressure surges, dampers are available

The equipment designations include material specifications:

  • BB 32C, BB 34C, BB 35C, BB 36C: Steel
  • BB 32A, BB 34A, BB 35A, BB 36A:  Stainless steel
