Technical Specification

Technical Specification – Super Speedfit Acetal Single Check Valves

 

NOTE: This specification refers exclusively to Super Speedfit acetal Single Check Valves. Other fittings, valves, tube and ancillary products have their own Technical Specification.

Product Selection and Installation

John Guest fittings and related products are specifically designed and manufactured by John Guest to the Technical Specification set out in the John Guest Product Catalogues. All John Guest fittings and related products should be selected, installed, used and maintained in accordance with these Technical Specifications. It is the customer’s/user’s responsibility to ensure that John Guest fittings and related products are suitable for their intended applications, are properly installed and maintained and are used in accordance with the Technical Specifications. It is also the customer’s/user’s responsibility to provide its own customers with all relevant technical information about John Guest products it supplies them. If you have any questions about our technical specifications, please contact us.

For use with chemicals or other potentially aggressive liquids, please refer to our Customer Services Department.

Super Speedfit fittings and related products are not recommended for use with explosive gases, petroleum spirits, and other fuels or for central heating systems.

Maintenance and Replacement Intervals

John Guest products generally require little maintenance but as a minimum we recommend routine visual inspection. Frequency of visual inspection will depend on severity of application and risk of failure. If after visual inspection John Guest products appear damaged, cracked, charred, discoloured, heat distorted or corroded they should be replaced. Any product that is or appears to be leaking should be replaced.

Product life is affected by the severity of the application, the hostility of the working environment and contact with aggressive chemicals or liquids. It is therefore important that specific replacement intervals be considered by specifiers/users/customers based on previous service life or when failure could result in unacceptable downtime, damage or injury risk.

Installation and System Testing

Fittings and tube should be kept clean and undamaged before use.

All tube and fittings installations must be pressure tested after installation to ensure system integrity before handing over to the final user.

Working Pressure and Temperature Range

Super Speedfit acetal Single Check Valves are suitable for the following pressures and temperatures.

 

Pressure

Liquids

+20°C

10 Bar

+65°C intermittent hot water

7 Bar

Minimum temperature 1°C.

Typical ‘crack open’ pressure 0.02 Bar.

Note: 1 Bar = 14.5 PSIG.

Valves with low fixed cracking pressure (i.e. 10cm water column) that have not been activated for some time may take several seconds to re-seal.

It is the responsibility of the end user to verify that the product is suitable for his specific application.

It is also recommended that the non-return valve is regularly checked and maintained.

Tube Types

Plastic Tube - Polyethylene, nylon and polyurethane conforming to the tolerances shown below. For soft tubing or thin wall tube we recommend the use of tube inserts.

Braided Tube - Use of Tube to Hose Stems is essential when using tube. Use of clamps to retain braided tube on barbs is recommended.

Metal Tube (soft) - Brass, copper or mild steel conforming to the tolerances below

Metal Tube (hard) - We do not recommend Super Speedfit fittings for hard metal tubes or chromium plated tubes.

For stainless steel and other polished metal tubes we recommend the use ofSuperSeal fittings.

It is essential that outside diameters be free from score marks and that the tube be deburred before inserting the fitting.

John Guest recommend OEM customers to consider replacing threaded ports with the more modern Cartridge Systems.

It is recommended that all installations are checked prior to use to determine that a seal has been made.

The maximum torque figures quoted for use with Speedfit fittings are dependent on the mating thread conforming to the relevant British or International thread standard.

Cleaners and Sanitising of Acetal Fittings

John Guest Full Cartridges and Half Cartridges incorporate acetal parts. Our advise to customers is to use cleaners and sanitising agents that are above pH4 and low in hypochlorite level. Acetal fittings and parts that are cleaned and/or sanitised should be rinsed immediately with copious amounts of clean tap water to remove all traces of the cleaners.

Warranty

Whilst we give a warranty against defects in manufacture or materials, it is the responsibility of the specifier to ensure that fittings and related products are suitable for their application. The installation must be carried out correctly in accordance with our recommendations, complying with recognised codes of practice and relevant national standards, and be properly maintained. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale.
