HERMETIC VALVES

APPLICATIONS
Hermetic valves are used in
systems operating with
hermetic compressors.
They can be used with
refrigerant fluids CFC, HCFC
and HFC.
These valves are available in
the following types:
shut-off valves with
2 connections: 6010/2 and
6012/22;
valves with 3 connections
(2 connections + 1
charging/manometer
connection): 6020;
monobloc valves with
3 connections (2 connections
+ 1 charging/manometer
connection):

6060, with right charging

connection;
6070, with left charging
connection.
The charging connection is shut
off by the back-seating of the
spindle.

MATERIALS
The materials used for the main
parts are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for the main
body;
especially treated steel for
the spindle;
aramidic and chloroprene
gaskets for the gland seal;
glass reinforced PBT for the
cap.

STOP VALVES

6165/33

APPLICATIONS

6175/33

6165, 6175 and 6170 stop

valves are specially designed
for application on split air
conditioners.
They can be used with
refrigerant fluids CFC, HCFC
and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
The very compact design of
these brass valves allows
minimum dimensional sizes and
the fixing flange complies with
current market requirements.
Valves 6170 and 6175 must be
completed with valve core
8394/A or 8394/B and cap and
gasket type 8392/A, to be
ordered separately.
The materials used for the main
parts are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for the
body;
TN-UNI EN 12164 - CW 614 N
brass for spindle and cap;
chloroprene rubber (CR) for
outer seal gaskets.
Only for the 6170 group of
valves, aramidic and
chloroprene gaskets for the
gland seals.

DIAPHRAGM VALVES

6210/4

APPLICATIONS
Castel diaphragm valves are
particularly suitable for use on
refrigerating systems operating
with refrigerant fluids CFC,
HCFC and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
Diaphragm valves dont have
gland seal. External sealing is
ensured by thin metal discs
(diaphragms) ensuring hermetic
sealing of the area through
which the fluid flows.
The materials used for the main
parts are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for the body
and the cap;
nylon for the seat sealing
gasket;
harmonic steel for the spring.

Couplings and gaskets have to
be ordered separately.

APPLICATIONS
Castel Rotalock valves can be
used for refrigerating systems
operating with refrigerant fluids
CFC, HCFC and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
Rotalock valves can be
mounted with 7910 and 7990
gaskets, and ensure fast
installation and safe sealing.
Tightness is assured by the
torque of the ring on the
coupling. Before tightening it is
possible to turn the valve in
every direction. All Rotalock
valves have an additional male
connection which can be
excluded by the back sealing of

APPLICATIONS

6410/4

Capped valves can be mounted

in any point of the refrigerating
system using refrigerant fluids
CFC, HCFC and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
Capped valves consist of two
main parts: the body and the
spindle assembly.
The materials used for the main
parts are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for body;
especially treated steel for
spindle;
aramidic and chloroprene
gaskets for gland seal;
glass reinforced PBT for cap.

INSTALLATION
When mounting the 6420 valve,
the valve body must be

6410

78

soldered to the piping after

removal the spindle assembly.

6420

When the latter is repositioned,

the operation is completed.

GLOBE VALVES

APPLICATIONS

6510/9

Globe valves can be used on

refrigerating systems in order to
intercept the refrigerant fluids
CFC, HCFC and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
Globe valves are manufactured
in two basic types: 6510 with
straight connections and 6530
with angle connections.
Valves 6520, which have
straight connections, are
supplied with flanges. In this
application, copper pipe is
soldered on a brass bush and
not directly on the valve.
Globe valves have large orifices
to keep the pressure drop to a
minimum. On the top of the
caps there is a square seat,
fitting it on the spindle it is
possible to use the cap as an
operating wrench.
The materials used for the main
parts are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for body,
plug and cap;
especially treated steel for
spindle;
aramidic and chloroprene
gaskets for gland seal;
chloroprene rubber (CR) for
outer seal gaskets;
P.T.F.E. for seat gasket.

BALL VALVES

6590/M42

APPLICATIONS
6590 ball valves have been
exclusively designed and
manufactured for refrigerating
systems operating with
refrigerant fluids CFC, HCFC
and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
The valve design ensures the
internal equilibrium of pressures
when the valve is closed,
permits the bi-directional flow
of the refrigerant and,
consequently, the assembly on
the plant without taking into
account the direction of the
refrigerant.
The assembling of the spindle

82

from the inside prevents any

risk of explosion.
The opening and closing of the
valve is realised by turning the
spindle one fourth of a turn.
A standstill in turning realises
either a full opening or a full
closing, moreover the arrow
printed on the spindle head
shows the flow direction.
Electric welding of the bodies
and O ring assembled on the
spindle prevent leaks.

The materials used for the main

parts are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for body;
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
chromium plated brass ball;
especially treated steel for
the spindle;
P.T.F.E. for ball gaskets;
chloroprene rubber (CR) for
outer seal gaskets;
solder copper connections;
glass reinforced PBT for cap.

COMPRESSOR VALVES

6640/4

APPLICATIONS
These valves are normally
mounted on the body of the
refrigerating compressor, on
both suction and discharge
sides. They can be used with
refrigerant fluids CFC, HCFC
and HFC.

CONSTRUCTION
Compressor valves have a
threaded connection that can
be used both as charging or
gauge connection. The
charging connection is cut off
by the back-seating of the
spindle. The compressor valves
are oval flanged with SAEFLARE connection to fit copper
pipes through a suitable nut.
6640

The materials used in the

construction of the main parts
are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for the
body, flange and bush;
especially treated steel for
the spindle;
aramidic and chloroprene
gaskets for the gland seal;
steel for the cap;
glass reinforced PBT for the
cap.
