Designed for the 1-1/2" EHSC-Series Valve
EHSC-RKE150 is specifically identified for the 1-1/2" Dixon EHSC-Series Spring Check Valve when EPDM replacement elastomers are required.
Dixon offers separate repair-kit part numbers according to valve series, nominal size, and elastomer material. Confirm all three characteristics before selecting a replacement kit.
Although Dixon groups HSC and EHSC kits within the same repair-kit family, EHSC-RKE150 should be matched to the appropriate EHSC-Series valve rather than selected by nominal size alone.
EPDM Elastomer Components
EHSC-RKE150 uses EPDM for both supplied replacement sealing components. EPDM is commonly used in sanitary and process applications involving compatible water-based fluids and cleaning environments.
Actual suitability depends on the process media, concentration, operating temperature, cleaning chemicals, sanitation procedures, and other service conditions.
Verify EPDM compatibility with the complete process environment before installation, particularly if replacing a valve that currently uses a different elastomer material.
EPDM vs. FKM Repair Kit
EHSC-RKE150 - EPDM
- 1-1/2" EHSC-Series
- EPDM body gasket
- EPDM plunger O-ring
- Use where the corresponding EPDM configuration is required
- RKE suffix identifies the EPDM repair-kit configuration
EHSC-RKV150 - FKM
- 1-1/2" EHSC-Series
- FKM elastomer configuration
- Corresponding FKM repair-kit option
- Use where the valve and process require FKM components
- RKV suffix identifies the FKM repair-kit configuration
HSC vs. EHSC Repair Kit Selection
EHSC-Series
- EHSC-RKE150 is the 1-1/2" EPDM option
- EHSC-RKV150 is the 1-1/2" FKM option
- Match the repair kit to an EHSC-Series valve
- Verify valve identification before ordering
HSC-Series
- HSC-RKE150 is the separate 1-1/2" EPDM option
- HSC-RKV150 is the separate 1-1/2" FKM option
- Uses HSC-specific repair-kit part numbers
- Do not substitute based on nominal size alone
Spring Check Valve Maintenance
Dixon HSC/EHSC spring check valves are serviceable valve assemblies with replaceable elastomer components. Routine inspection can help identify worn gaskets and O-rings before they contribute to leakage or improper valve operation.
EHSC-RKE150 provides the body gasket and plunger O-ring required for the 1-1/2" EPDM valve configuration.
During service, inspect the remaining valve components and sealing surfaces for wear, corrosion, contamination, product buildup, or physical damage.
If components beyond the supplied seals require replacement, obtain the appropriate Dixon service components rather than assuming they are included in this kit.
Installation & Maintenance
Before servicing the spring check valve, isolate the affected section of the process system and completely relieve all internal pressure. Drain, clean, and decontaminate the valve according to the process media and facility procedures.
Disassemble the valve according to applicable Dixon instructions. Carefully remove the existing body gasket and plunger O-ring without damaging adjacent components or sealing surfaces.
Inspect the valve internals during disassembly. Check the plunger, spring, body surfaces, and other components for excessive wear, corrosion, contamination, product buildup, or physical damage.
Clean the appropriate sealing surfaces and install the replacement EPDM components in their proper locations. Avoid cutting, twisting, pinching, overstretching, or otherwise damaging the new elastomers.
Reassemble the valve according to Dixon procedures and confirm that the internal components move correctly before returning the valve to service.
After reassembly, test the valve under appropriate system conditions and inspect for leakage and proper check-valve operation.
Our team can help confirm your HSC or EHSC valve series, nominal size, elastomer material, and correct Dixon repair-kit part number before you order.

What valve does Dixon EHSC-RKE150 fit?
EHSC-RKE150 is the EPDM repair-kit configuration for compatible 1-1/2" Dixon EHSC-Series Spring Check Valves.
What size is EHSC-RKE150?
Dixon identifies EHSC-RKE150 for the 1-1/2" EHSC-Series valve size.
What elastomer does EHSC-RKE150 use?
EHSC-RKE150 uses EPDM elastomer components.
What is included with EHSC-RKE150?
The kit includes one body gasket and one plunger O-ring.
Does EHSC-RKE150 include a body gasket?
Yes. One replacement body gasket is included.
Does EHSC-RKE150 include a plunger O-ring?
Yes. One replacement plunger O-ring is included.
Does the kit include the spring or plunger?
No. Dixon identifies this kit as containing the body gasket and plunger O-ring. The spring, plunger, valve body, and other components are not identified as included.
What is the FKM equivalent of EHSC-RKE150?
Dixon lists EHSC-RKV150 as the corresponding 1-1/2" EHSC-Series FKM repair kit.
What is the difference between EHSC-RKE150 and HSC-RKE150?
Both are 1-1/2" EPDM repair-kit configurations, but EHSC-RKE150 is for the EHSC-Series while HSC-RKE150 is the separate HSC-Series part number.
Can I choose the repair kit based only on valve size?
No. Confirm the valve series, nominal size, and elastomer material before ordering.
Can I substitute FKM for EPDM?
Do not change elastomer materials without confirming compatibility with the valve, process fluid, cleaning chemicals, operating temperature, and system requirements.
When should these seals be replaced?
Replacement may be appropriate when inspection identifies wear, cracking, deformation, chemical deterioration, leakage, or other damage, or when required by a preventive-maintenance schedule.
What should I verify before ordering EHSC-RKE150?
Confirm that the existing valve is a compatible 1-1/2" Dixon EHSC-Series Spring Check Valve and that EPDM is the required elastomer material.
