Valves & Actuation

Georg Fischer Type 514 PVC and CPVC Diaphragm Valves are ideally suited for throttling applications for most fluids including abrasive solutions and slurries. Type 514 PVC and CPVC Diaphragm Valves are supplied with true union socket end connections, allowing the valve to be removed from the process without the need for additional fittings. Georg Fischer Type 514 is manufactured with an internal weir with a self-flushing design.

• Type 514 valves are supplied with socket end connections only  • Elimination of bolts removes corrosive weak point  • Visual position indicator on valve handle  • Increased pressure rating of 240 psi @ 70°F on most valves  • Increased Cv values of 2 to 3 times competitive designs

Design Features
This multi-purpose check valve provides an extremely low profile and very quick response to back flow without slamming. The special design requires no more space then a piece of pipe, and incorporates a flexible elastomer seal for long life, and is suitable for mounting in any position for greater versatility.
Technical Information
2" through 8" sizes are rated for 150 psi @ 73°F, 10" and 12" sizes are rated for 100 psi @ 73°F. As a general guideline, opening and closing pressures will range from .2 to .5 psi for horizontal applications. Opening pressures tend to decrease in large size valves. Valves installed in vertical up-flow applications will require slightly higher pressures.
Features
• PVC or CPVC construction - no metal components     • Quick response shut-off in any position     • Field replaceable Flex-Seal - EPDM or Viton®
• Assembled with silicon-free, water soluble lubricants     • Available with either spigot, flanged, grooved pipe or male threaded ends
• Sizes now available to 24" pipe size - call for information

This full-featured valve is engineered to provide accurate throttling control and shut-off for industrial, chemical and water treatment applications, as well as the handling of liquids with suspended solids, viscous fluids and slurries. Weir-type design utilizes a choice of elastomeric diaphragms with non-rising stem and built-in position indicator. Strong buttress thread, true union style end connection allows ease of installation and service. Available in IPS sizes 1/2” through 2” with socket and threaded end connectors. Heavy-bodied Schedule 80 PVC or CPVC smooth-wall construction provides extra strength, superior chemical and corrosion resistance while maximizing fluid flow. Choice of high-grade, abrasion-resistant EPDM, Viton® or elastomer-backed PTFE-laminated diaphragm allows application specific selection for optimum chemical resistance.
Features
• 235 psi @ 73°F (for complete size range)  • Built-in mounting holes for self-tapping screws  • Rugged construction with strong buttress threads  • Available with EPDM, Viton® or PTFE diaphragm  • Dual end connectors (socket and thread) on PVC and CPVC  • SR threaded ends - SS-reinforced threaded end connectors
