 Adjustable Inline
Relief Valves

These adjustable, spring-loaded poppet valves are used to limit system pressure. Excess pres-
sure unseats the poppet, allowing flow with minimal increase in system pressure. As fluid is
released the system pressure decreases until the spring force re-seats the poppet. Kepner's
Flexible Seal Seat ensures bubble-tight shutoff of liquid or gas.

The relief pressure can be set using a tamperproof internal adjustment screw. Standard and spe-
cialty valves handle a wide variety of applications requiring fast acting relief performance and
tamperproof pressure adjustment.

Features and Benefits:

● Flexible Seal Seat for zero leak (bubble-tight) seal

● Outer O-Ring provides non-pressurized threads
● Both O-Ring seals positively secured
● Wide relief adjustment range 50 to 2000 PSI (3.45 to 138 bar)
● Tamperproof Nylok® adjustment to set relief pressure/prevent slippage
● Poppet stop inside valve body prevents spring from bottoming out

Valve Specifications:
● End Connections: Pipe (MPT, FPT; 10 combinations)
Inlet (MPT or FPT); Outlet (FPT); Side Outlet (1/4 inch FPT)
● Port Sizes: 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch
● Body Materials: Steel, 303 Stainless Steel
● O-Ring Seals: Teflon®, other materials available
● Temperature: -300°F to 450°F (-184°C to 232°C), O-Ring dependent
● Crack Pressure Ranges: Adjustable 50 to 2000 PSI (3.5 to 138 bar)
3 Spring Ranges: 50 to 400 PSI (3.5 to 28 bar), 300 to 1000 PSI (21 to 69 bar),
900 to 2000 PSI (62 to 138 bar); factory preset pressure available

 Inline Ball
Check Valves

Ball check valves allow free flow in only one direction, prevent backflow, and are for applica-
tions where poppet style valves may not be suitable (such as media with contamination, viscous
fluids, etc.). They are trouble free with large flow paths. The need for closely mating surfaces
and sliding parts has been eliminated by the conical tension spring and seal seat design.
Kepner's Flexible Seal Seat design combines metal-to-metal contact with a resilient seal seat
to ensure bubble-tight shutoff of liquid or gas, and long service life.

Features and Benefits:

● Flexible Seal Seat for zero leak (bubble-tight) seal at low and high pressures
● O-Ring seal positively secured
● Stainless steel ball design; no sliding parts
● Exclusive conical tension spring design allows for greater flow
● Handles contamination, viscous liquids and slurries

Valve Specifications:

● End Connections/Sizes: 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch FPT

● Body Materials: Brass, 303 Stainless Steel
● O-Ring Seals: Buna-N, Teflon®, Viton®, other materials available
● Temperature: -300°F to 450°F (-184°C to 232°C), O-Ring dependent
● Crack Pressure: 1 to 3 PSI (.07 bar to 0.21 bar)
● Operating Pressure: to 3000 PSI (207 bar)
● Flow: to 25 GPM (95 LPM)

 Inline Shuttle Valves

The shuttle valve permits flow from either of two inlet ports to a common outlet. A free floating
metal ball shuttles according to the relative pressure at the two inlets. The higher pressure inlet
flows through the valve and moves the ball to close the opposite inlet. Kepner's Flexible Seal
Seat combines metal-to-metal contact with a resilient seal seat to ensure bubble-tight shutoff
of liquid or gas, and long service life. Shuttle valves can also flow in the reverse direction, and
relieve system pressure when input is removed. Standard and specialty valves handle a wide
variety of control applications, including use in logic circuits, for pilot signal input and venting,
dual input pilot control, and for switching to alternate or standby systems.

Features and Benefits:

● Flexible Seal Seat for zero leak (bubble-tight) seal at closed port
● Non-biased free floating shuttle ball with short travel path
● Minimal pressure differential shifting
● O-Ring seal positively secured
● Unobstructed flow paths allow full flow and minimal pressure drop

Valve Specifications:
● End Connections/Sizes: 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch FPT
● Body Materials: Brass, Steel, 303 Stainless Steel
● O-Ring Seals: Buna-N, Teflon®, Viton®, other materials available
● Temperature: -300°F to 450°F (-184°C to 232°C), O-Ring dependent
● Operating Pressure: to 3000 PSI (207 bar)

 Fixed Orifice Flow Control
Restrictor Valves

Fixed Orifice Flow Controls provide free flow in one direction and
restricted (metered) flow in the reverse direction. They are standard
Kep-O-seal® or Kepsel® check valves, equipped with a calibrated
orifice drilled through the valve poppet nose. Kepner's bubble-tight
Flexible Seal Seat ensures that the reverse flow is precisely con-
trolled by confining it to the calibrated orifice. Such valves are often
used in charging lines for cylinders, containers, or accumulators
where it is desired to rapidly charge and then bleed back the charged
fluid at a pre-determined rate. These valves handle many other
applications.

Features and Benefits:

● Generous flow passages allow full free-flow with minimal pressure drop
● Metered reverse flow
● Tamperproof internal orifice
● Rugged and dependable

Valve Specifications:
● Fixed Orifice Flow Control Restrictor sizes and specifications are the same as those
shown for the standard Kep-O-seal® or Kepsel® check valves, except for cracking
pressure and internal leakage which obviously do not apply.

● The valve orifice is drilled to customer's specifications. Test data and flow calibration
based on Air or MIL-H-5606 Hydraulic Oil can be provided.

 Cartridge Type
Insert Lock Valves

The cartridge lock valves combine a Kepsel® Cartridge Insert Check with a rugged pilot opera-
tor, and function the same as the counterpart Kep-O-Lok® inline lock valve. They free flow from
valve port to cylinder port (or portion of circuit) and "lock" reverse flow until pilot pressure is
applied to unlock the internal check valve and allow reverse flow. Kepner's Flexible Seal Seat
provides positive bubble-tight locking to prevent load drift or circuit creep, and answers the
need where internal leakage could adversely affect performance such as with clamping cylin-
ders or outrigger stabilizer jacks. Standard and specialty valve designs handle a wide variety
of block and load hold applications, and are ideal for use in manifolds, subplates, or cylinder
heads.

Features and Benefits:

● Flexible Seal Seat for zero leak (bubble-tight) seal locking

● No threaded connections (avoid potential leakage)
● Basic pilot ratio 3:1
● Surge flow protected with calibrated pilot orifice
● Compact, easy installation - Accessory Kepner Holding Device Kits available

Valve Specifications:

● Sizes: 1/16 inch to 3/4 inch Nominal sizes (1.6 mm to 19 mm)

● Body: Steel; Pilot Piston: Stainless; Poppet, Retainer, Rod: Steel
● O-Ring Seals: Teflon® (internal check valve), Buna-N (external body chamfer)
● Temperature: -40°F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°C), O-Ring dependent
● Operating Pressure: to 3000 PSI (207 bar)
● Flow: to 40 GPM (151 LPM)

 Material Selection and Safety

The information here is provided to assist in your selection of product.

For further assistance, please contact Kepner Products Company or
visit our website www.kepner.com.

SAFETY WARNING

Kepner standard valves are offered in aluminum, brass, carbon steel, and types 303
and 316 stainless steels. These materials have their inherent strengths and weakness-
es. As such, no one material is ideal for all applications and is why we offer a choice of
materials. However, making the right choice is an important matter since misuse of
valve materials could cause system failure or personal injury. The customer is solely
responsible for ordering suitable valve material for their application.

Some factors to consider in selecting suitable material include: its mechanical proper-
ties, corrosion resistance, the combinations of temperature and pressure that might be
encountered during operation, foreseeable degradation mechanisms (such as corrosion,
creep, fatigue), and the material’s impact strength to handle possible surge and water
hammer effects. One should also be aware of limitations on using free machining steels,
such as carbon steel (12L14) and 303 stainless steel, for fatigue critical applications
(cyclic loadings).. Steel additives such as sulfur, lead and selenium for purpose of
improving machinability are typically present as inclusions that can lower fatigue life.

Kepner technical service experts are available to help customers with their material
selection. Please contact us for assistance.

Kep-O-seal姞 Inline Valves -

Summary and Applications
Kep-O-seal威 Inline Valves:
Check, Relief Check, Ball Check, Shuttle, Adjustable Relief, Fixed Orifice Flow Control
Valves, Lock Valves and SAE Flange Valves are all available as inline valves.

Port configurations include the NPT and JIC, (SAE compatible), male and female com-
binations with sizes ranging from 1/8” pipe to 3” pipe.

Construction materials include: aluminum, brass, zinc plated steel, 303 stainless steel
and 316 stainless steel.
o
A variety of O-Ring seals allow for corrosive media applications and media temperatures up to 600 F. O-
Ring materials include: Buna-N, Neoprene, Viton, Ethylene Propylene and Kalrez.

Crack pressures of 1 to 3 PSI are standard, and higher crack pressures (3,000 PSI) are available for
relief valves. Working pressures of 3,000 PSI and higher pressure valves (6,000 PSI working pressure)
are available.

Many of the Kep-O-seal威 inline valves were tested in accordance with military specifications. Tests
included vibration, (acceleration), temperature, high pressure and salt spray. Passing these tests
required results proving that cracking pressures were maintained, no leakage resulted and no component
malfunction or physical damage resulted from the tests.

Results showed that Kepner Inline Valves perform as required under adverse to severe conditions. The
ultimate test is to determine the life of the valves in various critical customer applications. Kepner’s

 Tips #2

Kep-O-seal姞 Inline Check Valves - Gas Flow

Figure 1 shows approximate airflow data for the Kep-O-seal姞 check valves. Airflow
is plotted as standard cubic feet per minute, (SCFM), against pressure drop across
the valve. This data is for low pressure conditions with the valve or flowmeter
vented to atmosphere.

When dealing with a closed air

system, (not vented to atmos-
phere), as is most often the case,
the system pressure or upstream
pressure is higher than atmos-
pheric pressure thus increasing air
density. In this case, the free air
flow will be greater (for the same
pressure drop across the valve).

Figure 2 is a correction factor curve plotted against system pressure

to correct the data of Figure 1 for higher pressures. For example, with
an upstream pressure of 100 psi the factor is approximately 2, which
means the airflow in SCFM will be 2 times the low pressure curve data.

 Tips #3

Measuring Surge Pressure Using

An Inline Check Valve

Hydraulic equipment and circuitry develop pressure surges or shock in operation due to
a rapid deceleration of the hydraulic fluid in any part of the system. The fluid deceler-
ation may be caused by a valve closing or by a ram bottoming. Severity of shock
depends on the degree of deceleration and is greatest when using fast acting on-off
valves such as solenoid operated spool valves or when a fast moving ram is bottomed
out such as occurs at the end of stroke on the die ram of a die casting machine.

It is often desirable and sometimes even necessary to know the magnitude of the surge. Surge and shock
can be measured with an oscillograph using a high response pressure sensor, but the associated expense
and inconvenience often rules this out. An ordinary pressure gage in a surging line is of no value as the
gage will not respond to rapid fluctuations in pressure and the needle cannot be accurately read in its excur-
sion up and down, even on long surges.

The simple circuit shown above is an integrator for use in cases of repetitive shock or single surges of dura-
tion within the response rate of the gage. On each successive pressure rise an increment of fluid is trapped
in the gage line until the gage line pressure balances the surge pressure. When the gage reading stabi-
lizes, the reading will be very close to the peak surge pressure.

This idea is not new and has been presented in hydraulic writings. This system, however, is accurate and
usable only if a zero leakage check valve is used. The zero leakage characteristics of the Kep-o-seal威 valves
together with their ruggedness make them the logical choice for this application.

 Tips #5

Relief Check Valves: Various Relief Settings

Kep-O-seal威 In-line Relief Check valves and the Kepsel威 Cartridge Insert valves are, by
definition, check valves with cracking pressure set higher than the standard 1 to 2 PSI.
This is accomplished by using stiffer springs. Our standard relief check springs are for
cracking pressures of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 65 psi. Custom settings are available to 3,000
PSI on special order.

Relief Check valves are used to develop pilot pressures for pilot operated devices; to
maintain controlled back pressures in tanks and supply systems; and for low pressure,
high volume, relief functions such as filter bypassing.

Model 1306A-1 Valve

This graph shows the flow characteristics of
the 1306A-1 check valve with various preset
cracking pressures. The solid curve is for
the valve with spring removed and shows
the basic quadratic flow profile for this valve.
The dashed lines represent each different
relief pressure setting. The dashed lines
move horizontally to the right until they
intersect the solid line and then follow the
solid line upward as the flow increases.

Notice that the dashed lines are very flat and

the pressure drop increase required to reach
the intersection point is less than 10% at the
higher pressures. It is very desirable to
maintain a relatively constant pressure drop
with increasing flow and we accomplish this
by means of the efficient internal design,
generous flow path and the use of relatively
low spring rates.

This graph is typical of other valve sizes that

will follow the same general trends as shown
here.

 Tips #6

Adjustable Relief Valves

Kep-O-seal威 2300 series Relief Valves are direct operating, inline valves
designed for system applications requiring fast acting pressure relief perform-
ance with tamperproof pressure adjustment and factory preset crack pressure.
The three basic models incorporate springs adjustable between 50 and 2,000
PSI. The Kepsel威 Cartridge Relief Valve Insert is derived from this inline valve
series. The Relief Valve is built with the field proven Kepner Flexible Seal
Seat娃 design providing Zero Leakage control and long service life. This has
given all Kepner valves a worldwide reputation for excellence and reliability.
The standard robust designs have excellent proven durability.

In this application the check valve opens causing the enclosure to be pressurized, and
then closes preventing backflow out of the enclosure. The adjustable relief valve
keeps the enclosure from becoming over-pressurized and thus maintains a constant
pressure in the enclosure.

Kep-O-seal姞 Shuttle Valve

Functions and Applications (Page 1 of 2)
Non-biased shuttle valves are two input single output valves that are completely pres-
sure controlled. The higher input pressure creates a pressure differential causing flow
through the valve while the system pressure holds the other input port closed. The
symbols shown below describe the function graphically. Shuttle valves will flow in
reverse and this important characteristic distinguishes the shuttle valve from check
valves placed back-to-back. In dead ended applications, such as pilot circuits and brake
circuits, the system pressure must relieve when the input is removed, and the shuttle
valve allows this.

ANSI ALTERNATE
SYMBOL GRAPHIC SYMBOL

FUNCTION
The shuttle valve is essentially an OR logic element. One input or
the other provides the output used directly to do work or as a pilot
by controlling a normally open or normally closed valve. The circuit
shown is an OR circuit as the OR elements, (shuttle valves), are con-
nected to a normally closed valve. Substituting a normally open
valve, the circuit becomes a NOR circuit where any input stops the
output. Shuttle valves are naturals for switching alternate, standby,
emergency, pressure or power systems, and are essential for two
input pilot control. The Kep-O-seal 2450 series are free ball shuttle
valves with leak tight sealing on the closed port, short ball travel,
and low pressure shifting, provide reliable shuttle performance at
pressures to 3,000 psi. The following descriptions are some exam-
ples of shuttle valve applications. We hope these will generate addi-
tional ideas where shuttle valves may be the best choice for you.

CLAMPING AND BENDING

Valve A applies air to the up end of clamp cylin-
der through shuttle valve B. Operator then
actuates valve C to extend the bend cylinder
and reset valve A. Shuttle valve B maintains
pressure in the clamp cylinder. When operator
releases valve C, low pressure air from reducing
valve D retracts the clamp cylinder. The pilot
line of valve A is vented, and the system is
ready for the next operation.

 Tips #8-2

Kep-O-seal姞 Shuttle Valve

Functions and Applications (Page 2 of 2)
WINCH BRAKE CIRCUIT
The shuttle valve provides brake control in
this hydraulic winch application. When the
fluid motor is energized in either direction,
the shuttle valve directs fluid to open the
brake shoes. When the control valve is cen-
tered, the brake cylinder is vented through
the shuttle valve and the brake shoes
allowed to close.

ALTERNATE POWER INPUTS

The shuttle valve allows instant change of control from one station,
or master cylinder, to the other. Many vehicles and systems are
equipped with alternate control stations, or two driving stations
with separate hydraulic inputs. These are directed by the shuttle
valve to the required output.

FLUID MOTOR CROSSOVER CIRCUIT

In this brake and crossover circuit the shuttle valve sepa-
rates the high and low pressure legs and directs fluid to the
relief valve. The shuttle valve replaces back-to back check
valves in this application.

AIR PILOT CONTROL

Converting from air to oil permits locking of the
cylinder. Shifting the 4-way to either extreme posi-
tion applies pilot air through the shuttle valve to
hold the two air-operated valves open and apply oil
under air pressure to the corresponding side of the
cylinder. Positioning manual valve to neutral
exhausts pilot pressure closing the 2-way valves and
trapping oil on both sides of the cylinder to lock it in

STANDBY AND EMERGENCY SYSTEMS

Compressor systems requiring standby or purge gas capability
are pressure controlled by the shuttle valve. This would be for
instrumentation, pressurized cables, or any system requiring
continuous pneumatic input. If the compressor fails, the
standby bank (regulated to slightly under compressor supply)
will shift the shuttle valve and take over the function. The
shuttle valve will close the compressor inlet port preventing loss of system pressure. When compressor pres-
sure is reestablished, the shuttle valve shifts back and seals off the standby system until needed again.

Kep-O-seal姞 Fixed Orifice Flow

Control Restrictor Valves

Fixed Orifice Flow Controls provide full flow in one

direction and restricted (metered) flow in the
reverse direction. They are standard Kep-O-seal威
Check Valves or Kepsel威 Cartridge Valves
equipped with a calibrated orifice drilled through
the valve poppet nose. Such valves are often
used in charging lines for cylinders, containers or
accumulators where the designer wishes to com-
plete the charge as rapidly as possible and then
bleed back the charged fluid at a pre-determined
rate.

ANSI SYMBOL

FLOW CONTROL RESTRICTOR VALVE APPLICATION

U
U

Differential gas pressure across the inline flow control restrictor valve causes
gas to flow through the check valve portion of the valve causing the piston in
the single acting cylinder to move to the right. As the pressure is reduced, flow
through the restrictor portion of the control valve continues allowing the piston
in the cylinder to move to the left at a pre-determined rate based on the size
of the restrictor orifice and the piston spring force. The piston retracts (moves
to the left) until it returns to the original position.

Kep-O-seal姞 Split Flange Check Valves

Kep-O-seal威 2600 series Split Flange Check and Relief Check Valves are designed to be
compatible with SAE J518 4-bolt split flange connections and Code 61 mounting. This
mounting system makes these valves ideal for rugged applications where threaded end
connections are either impractical or inconvenient. Lack of threaded connections also
allows for easy installation or removal of the valve without disturbing system lines. SAE
mounting flanges bolt on pumps and motors or bolt together with other flange valves.
Flange adapters permit ports to be closer to one another, and give the designer improved
capabilities providing more compact components and thus aiding system integration.

Kep-O-seal Split Flange Valve

The internal components of the SAE Split Flange Valves utilize the field proven Flexible
Seal Seat娃 design providing Zero Leakage control and long service life that has given all
Kepner valves a worldwide reputation for excellence and reliability. Standard robust
designs have excellent proven durability. The shoulder machined into the body of the valve
provides a solid metal stop to prevent the poppet from bottoming out on the spring ensur-
ing surge protection. The large holes in the poppet provide a streamlined, obstruction-free
passage for efficiently handling high flow rates.

 Tips #11

Kep-O-seal姞 Inline Valves - Installation Care

Kep-O-seal威 valves are high grade, precision mechanisms and will perform admirably if
properly handled and installed. A few minutes of care initially will assure zero leakage
and trouble free service. Here we illustrate a few reminders of preferred procedure.
Proper specification and installation is the customer’s responsibility.

Handle with care - Kep-O-seal威 valves are rugged, can stand hard use and much
abuse - but precision threads can be damaged. Keep threads protected until time of
installation and don’t poke anything into valve from either end. Do not drop.

Double wrench on assembly and disassembly. Always use the hex closest to
connection to prevent body distortion or inadvertent dis-assembly of valves.

Beware of chips - Pipe, tubing and valve ends must be clean. System contaminants
in any valve can foul or erode valve seats and cause leakage. Back Flush systems
before putting in service when ever possible. Install screens or filters where
required to protect valves. Debris can prevent the valve from
sealing properly, causing it to stick in the open or closed position.

Pipe Dope goes on male threads carefully, so none gets in valve and system.
Strings of tape type sealants can also foul valve seats. Good
connections and proper seals prevent leakage.

Proper support will prevent strain and distortion due to sagging pipe.
Hangers and supports should be close enough and properly aligned.

Shock surges and vibration can induce stresses of great magnitude

on internal components and end connections. They should be avoided
if possible. Again, the proper use of de-surgers, hangers and
supports will lengthen the service life.

Check identification to make sure valve is correct model, of proper material,

with specified O-Ring and correct spring setting to insure the valve meets
your defined requirement.

Flow Arrows - Install all valves with the arrow pointed in the
direction of flow. Verify flow is correct by making sure valve opens in the
direction of flow. From the closed position, the poppet moves away from
the seat in the direction of flow.

Check Valve Features - FAQ (Page 1 of 2)

Kepner Products Company has always stressed the Zero Leakage feature in the
valves we manufacture. But, it is by no means the only benefit Kepner valves
provide. To explain the other main features in the Kepner Check Valve design,
we are providing the answers to frequently asked questions.

1. Non-pressurized threads
2. Metal-to-metal seat
3. O-Ring
4. Retainer
5. Heavy metal wall sections
6. Shoulder
7. Spring
8. Poppet
9. Flow holes

Q: With the poppet striking the O-Ring, doesn’t the O-Ring wear out quickly?
A: No, because the Flexible Seal Seat娃 design allows the poppet to impact only slightly on the O-Ring
in the closed position. The metal-to-metal contact between the poppet and end cap serves as a
mechanical seat. Under reverse pressure, the O-Ring simply flexes just as much as is needed to
seal around the nose of the poppet and foreign particles on the poppet. As a result, the O-Rings
have been proven to have long service life.

Q: What keeps the O-Ring from being forced downstream at high pressures and under
surge conditions?
A: The retainer, in conjunction with the body and end cap, holds the seal in place and prevents fluid
flow from getting behind the O-Ring to dislodge it. Therefore, the O-Ring is protected from the
possibility of being forced out during surge flow conditions.

Q: What O-Ring seal compounds can Kepner provide?

A: Virtually any compound necessary to insure fluid compatibility. Our standard seating material is
Buna-N, (Nitrile), but we also stock compounds as listed in the O-Ring Seal Selection Guide,
(Tips: #17). If a customer requires a material other than those listed, it can generally be supplied,
(i.e., Kalrez, Polyurethane, etc.), since, in most cases, tolerances are within standard commercial
O-Ring sizes. Kepner Products Company does caution, however, that only high quality O-Rings be
used as replacements, because even small irregularities, such as flashing, will affect the operation of
the Flexible Seal Seat娃 design.

Q: Your standard cracking pressure is 1-2 PSI. Can you supply other cracking pressures?
A: Yes. Our Relief Check Valve line offers standard cracking pressures of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 65 PSI by
simply replacing the spring in a check valve with another precisely calibrated stock spring. Custom
settings up to 3,000 PSI are also available in most sizes.

 Tips #12-2

Check Valve Features - FAQ (Page 2 of 2)

Q: How does media flow through Kepner valves?

A: The five large flow holes in the poppet cone are positioned to provide a stream
lined flow path through the valve. The combined area of these holes is always
greater than the area of either the inlet or outlet ports. Also, the flow is directed
through the center of the spring, not through the coils, so that as the spring
compresses the flow is not hampered.

Q: What has Kepner included in its design to accommodate surge flows?

A: The design has a number of features which protect Kepner valves under most surge conditions.
First, as previously discussed, the O-Ring is protected from being severely impacted or extruded.
Secondly, the design includes a shoulder machined into the body of the valve. This provides a solid
metal stop to prevent the poppet from “bottoming out” on the spring. The spring itself is made of
extra heavy wire with many turns to provide a low spring rate to minimize increase in back pressure
with increased flow. Kepner valves incorporate the strength and durability needed to with stand most
surge conditions.

Q: What materials do you use in making your valves?

A: Standard construction materials are Aluminum, Commercial Brass, Zinc Plated Steel, Type 303 and
316 Stainless Steel. All components in a particular valve, except the spring and O-Ring, are made of
the same material unless otherwise specified. Consult factory for availability of other materials.

Q: Do you give valves made of aluminum or brass lower pressure ratings?

A: No. Not only does the seal flex around the poppet, but it also flexes to prevent external leakage.
This keeps the end cap threads from becoming pressurized and thus prevents high stress in this
vulnerable area. The Flexible Seal SeatTM design also allows for heavy metal wall sections where
internal pressures are the greatest. This gives added strength where it is needed most.

Q: Into which industries can Kepner valves be sold?

A: The wide variety of construction materials, sealing compounds, sizes and connection combinations
allow Kepner valves to be utilized in any industry requiring check valves. Our products have been
used successfully in a broad variety of applications in multiple industries from agriculture to aero-
space; road equipment to robotics; industrial machinery to medical equipment; instrumentation and
controls to chemical processing and handling. Consult the factory for any restrictions in hazardous
applications such as nuclear, aircraft or life support applications.

Q: How do Kepner Valves compare in value to competitors?

A: Very favorably. There are valves that are less expensive, but they cannot begin to approach the
quality and performance of Kepner valves. Valves with similar features tend to cost more. If a
customer wants a quality product that will provide leak-tight control; good repeatability; long service
life; dependability and a wide choice of configurations, Kepner valves provide the most value on the
market.

Kepner valves are first in ‘Zero Leakage’ liquid and gas control and offer superior performance
in rugged and ultra-sensitive applications. More than 60 years of service to this industry
and continual refinement of Kepner valve products are your assurance of the
best in performance, quality and dependability.

Kepsel Cartridge Insert Valves

Applications and Installation (Page 1 of 3)
Kepsel Cartridge Valves are valves without an integral housing,
essentially bodiless, because they consist of only the internal moving
elements of the valves. They are unsupported until they are installed
by insertion into a cavity with appropriate flow passageways, so as to
perform the same way as a conventional valve. The cartridge must
be held end-for-end in use and should not be allowed to shut-
tle back and forth in the cavity. The unsupported cartridge
valve assembly is not intended for high pressure applications.
An interference fit is required except for very low pressure
applications. When properly contained, the cartridge valve will
perform according to specifications. We have many successful

The resulting tolerance between cartridge and bore will be proper to adequately maintain the leak tight seal
and retain the external O-Ring against extrusion. With cavity sizes of one (1) inch or less, a drilled hole is
satisfactory for pressures under 500 PSI.
The external seal may be used at any one of three positions; at either end on the chamfer or in the body
groove. This provides flexibility in installation. The chamfers are often used because of ease of assembly
by merely placing the O-Ring in the bottom of the bore and putting the cartridge in behind it.
If service conditions require a non-standard internal seal, the external seal should be made from the same
material as the internal seal so the entire installation is compatible with the fluid and temperature.

Tips #13-3

Kepsel姞 Cartridge Insert Valves

Applications and Installation (Page 3 of 3)
RETAINING METHODS
(Some suggested methods of retaining the cartridge are shown here.)

Threaded Washer: A threaded washer, as depicted here, screwed

tight against the cartridge, is one of the most effective methods of pro-
viding end-for-end holding of the cartridge. The cartridge bore is drilled
or reamed and then followed with the tap drill and tap. The washers can be made from rod,
threaded stock, pipe plugs, or hex head set screws. A screwdriver slot or spanner wrench
holes provides means for tightening. The threaded washer also makes for a very simple cross-
hole installation as shown in the sketch.

Shims - With closure by manifold cover plate, shims at top or bottom of cartridge allow exact dimen-
sional adjustment so cover can be pulled tight and end-for-end holding accomplished together.
Especially recommended for large sizes and severe operating conditions. Shims may be solid, built
up, or of laminated stock peeled to fit.

Malleable Washer - A malleable copper or aluminum washer may be used as a spacer to achieve
a firm hold and allow some adjustment for tolerances by squeezing.

Heavy Spring - A very heavy spring or die spring is especially effective in cross-port mounting as
shown in the sketch. It is useful anywhere there is room for it, because it allows maximum tolerance
on cartridge port depth. The only limitation here is that the spring be located on the downstream or
outlet end of the cartridge so that, when the cartridge is checking reverse flow, it will bear against the
solid end of the bore.

Special Applications - In this illustration, we

show three commonly used methods of cartridge retainment:
Snap Ring - very strong and permits easy removal, but has the single limitation of requir-
ing accurate positioning of the snap ring groove to provide end-for-end holding.
Friction Ring - the simplest means of retaining in a bore for low or medium pressures.
The ring is merely pressed in tightly over the cartridge. The ring, if properly seated, will not
loosen and cannot be backed out of the bore.
Teflon Washer - for low pressure applications is a relatively simple and flexible crush
washer.

Fitting Closure - It is often convenient to retain the cartridge with a pipe thread, pipe fitting
or tube fitting end. This requires some considerations in dimensioning the cartridge bore depth.
Pipe Threads - With pipe threads there is no control dimension to work from since the threads
seat by taper interference. In this case a teflon insert lock washer, (such as Tru-Seal), may be
used effectively. The hole depth is made such that the fitting contacts the cartridge as the threads
begin to lock up. The final sealing is accomplished by tightening the lock washer. The malleable
washer shown is necessary only if radial positioning of an elbow or tee fitting is required. Also
shown here is the use of a short heavy spring between pipe thread and cartridge.

Straight Thread Port - SAE or AND 10050 - If a straight connector fitting or reducing bushing is used
to close the port, the body hex is integral and must be turned in tight to seal the fitting O-Ring into the port. A
malleable washer may be used as a spacer to provide for tolerance buildup from the bore depth, the cartridge
and the fitting. With an elbow or tee fitting, the locknut on the body threads provides the length adjustment for
proper makeup. If it is necessary that the fitting be aimed in a certain direction, a malleable washer used
between fitting and cartridge should permit enough turning to properly position the fitting.

Valve Material Selection

SAFETY WARNING

Kepner standard valves are offered in aluminum, brass, carbon steel, and
types 303 and 316 stainless steels. These materials have their inherent
strengths and weaknesses. As such, no one material is ideal for all applica-
tions and is why we offer a choice of materials. However, making the right
choice is an important matter since misuse of valve materials could cause sys-
tem failure or personal injury. The customer is solely responsible for ordering
suitable valve material for their application.

Some factors to consider in selecting suitable material include: its mechanical

properties, corrosion resistance, the combinations of temperature and pres-
sure that might be encountered during operation, foreseeable degradation
mechanisms (such as corrosion, creep, fatigue), and the material’s impact
strength to handle possible surge and water hammer effects. One should also
be aware of limitations on using free machining steels, such as carbon steel
(12L14) and 303 stainless steel, for fatigue critical applications (cyclic load-
ings). Steel additives such as sulfur, lead and selenium for purpose of improv-
ing machinability are typically present as inclusions that can lower fatigue life.

Kepner technical service experts are available to help customers with their
material selection. Please contact us for assistance.
