Genebre 2406 – Wafer Check Valve, PN16
The Genebre 2406 is a single-disc wafer check valve designed for installation between flanges. Operation is automatic, driven by differential pressure and flow direction, without the need for an actuator. The valve is intended to prevent reverse flow in pipelines carrying liquids compatible with stainless steel CF8M and Viton/FKM elastomers.
Technical Specifications
- Body and disc: Stainless steel 1.4408 / CF8M
- External O-rings: FPM / Viton
- Disc seat: FPM / Viton
- Shaft and stop screw: AISI 316
- Connection: Between flanges EN 1092 PN10/16 and ANSI 150
- Max working pressure: 16 bar
- Operating temperature: -20°C to +180°C
- Sizes: 1½" to 12" / DN40–DN300
Hydraulic Data
Kv values range from 11.5 m³/h at 1½" up to 2720 m³/h at 12". Opening pressure is negligible in horizontal flow; for vertical upward flow, it is approximately 6 mbar for DN40–DN150 and 9 mbar for DN200–DN300.
Installation Guidelines
Install only in horizontal pipelines or vertical lines with upward flow. Avoid installation immediately downstream of pumps, elbows, reducers, or other valves without straight pipe sections. Recommended straight lengths: 10×DN upstream, 3×DN downstream to minimize turbulence. Welding after installation is not permitted due to risk of seat overheating and deformation.
Applications
Suitable for compact water piping, auxiliary industrial circuits, skids, and lines with clean liquids or compatible chemicals. Selection should consider temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility (CF8M/FKM), and sufficient flow to maintain disc stability.
FAQ
Is maintenance required? No lubrication or periodic maintenance is needed, but regular inspection for leakage and connection integrity is recommended.
Is repair possible? Yes, replacement O-rings and seats are available. In inaccessible locations, replacement may be more practical.
Description
Certificates
GENEBRE, S.A. has implemented a quality management system to control the designing and manufacturing of fluid control valves, as well as the distribution of home and public taps.
This system complies with the requirements of the current international UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2015, certified by the prestigious German certification organization TÜV Rheinland.
In 2000, GENEBRE began to comply with the European Business Excellence Model, more commonly known as the EFQM. As a result, in 2003, the Catalan Regional Government awarded us with the Quality Award. This new system enables us to ensure the quality of GENEBRE's products and also to offer added value to our clients.
In 2012, we obtained the certification for the Environmental Management System. This system is certified according to the UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2015, also by TÜV Rheinland. GENEBRE QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
