For over 50 years, the compact, fluoropolymer (PTFE/FEP/PFA), Sanitary Insert Valve has been used as the most economical solution to providing a check valve in a new or existing sanitary piping system. This valve style is designed to fit into grooved-end clamp-type fittings. Since the Sanitary Insert Valve replaces the gasket normally used with clamp joints, no extra space is required to accommodate the valve.
PED Compliance Statement: Due to the unique “insert” design of our 3S, SC, TC, SI, & UV, style check valves, they do not constitute an “identifiable pressure bearing housing” as defined in PED Guideline 1/8. These styles must be installed into either ferrules or fittings to create a pressure bearing housing. Instead, they are classified as “components of pressure equipment” as defined in PED Guideline 1/8. As a result, these valves can be sold in the European Community and no CE Mark is required.In addition applicaitons where the maximum allowed oerating pressure is 0.5 bar (7.2 psi) or less, do not fall under the PED, regardless of the valve style.

What is the TC Sanitary Insert Check Valve designed for?
The TC is a compact sanitary insert check valve designed to provide reliable one-way flow control in new or existing sanitary piping systems.
How does the TC valve install?
It fits into grooved-end clamp-type fittings and replaces the gasket normally used with the clamp joint, so no additional piping space is required.
What materials are used in the TC Series?
The Sanitary Insert Valve is available in fluoropolymer materials, including PTFE, FEP, and PFA, for sanitary and corrosion-resistant applications.
Are ferrules and clamps included with the valve?
No. The valve is shown installed in ferrules; ferrules and the clamp are not included with the TC valve.
Does the TC Series require a CE mark under PED?
The TC is an insert-style component that must be installed into ferrules or fittings to create the pressure-bearing housing. Under PED Guideline 1/8, it is classified as a component of pressure equipment and does not require a CE mark.
