1. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

1.1. PURPOSE

SZUSTER SYSTEM elbow ball check valves type ESK 01 (with thread connections) and ESK 11
(with flange connections) are to be used in pump systems: they automatically prevent any
backflow of the medium from the outlet conduit at the moment when the pump stops
working. They are used in sewage installations with and without fecal matter, of the
temperature up to 40ºC and pH 4-8.

The ranges of working pressures are adapted to those pressures that occur in sewage
systems (10/16 bar).

When designing the valves, the following standards were used:

PN – EN 1092-2 - flanges and their connections: round flanges for pipes, fittings, connectors
and fixtures with PN marking. Cast-iron flanges.

PN – EN 10226-1- pipe threads of connections with sealing on the thread. Part 1: External
taper treads and internal straight threads. Sizes, tolerances and marking.

PN-EN 12050-4 - Sewage pumping stations in buildings and near buildings. Rules
of construction and examination. Part 4: Non-return valves for sewage pumping stations
without and with fecal matter.

PN-EN 19: 2005 - Industrial fixture. Marking of metal fixture.

2. INSTALLATION
SZUSTER system elbow ball check valves types ESK 01 AND ESK 11 can be installed in the
positions as presented in Fig. 3.

ATTENTION!
The direction of the working medium flow is marked with an arrow on the elbow ball check
valve.

ATTENTION!
Vertical deviation (*) in the range: 0 – 10° – using for solids as gravel and sand or 0 – 45° –
using for drinking water or fibrous parts. Any deflection from the vertical position being
greater from the indicated is permissible only on the Manufacturer’s permission.

Type ESK 01

Type ESK 11

Fig. 3. Methods of installation of elbow ball check valves types ESK 01 and ESK 11

ESK 01 type valve possess thread connections and ESK 11 type valve possess flange
connections. When installing the valves, care must be taken so that they are not exposed
to strains resulting from being loaded with the mass of an unsupported pipeline. Once
the valve has been installed in the adequate position, medium is to be supplied
to the pipeline; at the same time, the leak tightness of the valve elements must be
observed.

During the first operation, one needs to check whether the blocking function
of the backflow of the liquid is working correctly.

3. OPERATION AND STORAGE

3.1. OPERATION

The temperature of the medium flowing through the valve should not exceed 40ºC
(temporarily to 60ºC), and pH is to be in the range from 4 to 8.

3.2. STORAGE

SZUSTER system elbow ball check valves type ESK 01 and ESK 11 are to be stored in rooms
that are protected from the influence of weather conditions.

For transport, the valves need to be put is a stable position and need to be protected
against any displacement. Additionally, they need to be protected from weather conditions
(covered means of transport are to be used).

4. SERVICING
SZUSTER SYSTEM elbow ball check valves are self-cleaning valves; nevertheless, periodic
check-ups are recommended in order to inspect the condition of the ball surface. When
servicing, the ball can be placed as shown in Fig. 4.

ATTENTION!
One needs to remember to place the o-ring type seal properly, as shown in Fig. 5, before
the installation of the cover on the valve casing.

once the pump has been particles in the opening position times at its maximum output; possibly, clean the
switched off (no leak b) Damage to the ball surface valve and unblock the ball
tightness of the closing c) Occurrence of the “siphon b) Replace the ball with a new one
element) phenomenon” on the pipeline c) Use an aeration valve on the pipeline in the
d) Clogging of the inside of the proper place
valve d) The pump is to be switched on and off several

valve
6. Noise in the form of slams a) An abrupt widening of the a) Decrease the flow rate of the medium in the
or hisses flow section before the valve: feed pipeline or replace the construction of the
occurrence of the cavitation pipeline on the valve inlet for the proper one
phenomenon b) Correct the position of the seal between the
b) Possible displacement of the flanges
seal between the flanges which
blanks off the inlet or outlet of

blanked off by the seal between flanges
the flanges b) The pump is to be switched on and off several
