Complete HYC-Series Valve Repair
The HYC-RKE150 is intended for comprehensive servicing of a compatible 1-1/2" Dixon HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valve.
Unlike a seal-only kit, the HYC-RKE150 replaces the valve ball along with the cap gasket and seat. This can be useful during scheduled rebuilds, after inspection reveals wear, or when leakage indicates that multiple internal components require replacement.
The valve body and other hardware are not included. Inspect all remaining components during service and replace any damaged or excessively worn parts as required.

EPDM Seals & PTFE Ball
EPDM Sealing Components
EPDM is commonly used in sanitary and process applications involving compatible fluids. The HYC-RKE150 uses EPDM for the cap gasket and the sealing surface of the seat assembly.
Verify EPDM compatibility with the process media, cleaning chemicals, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions before installation.
PTFE Replacement Ball
The included PTFE ball functions as the moving check element inside the HYC-Series valve. PTFE offers broad chemical resistance and low-friction characteristics for many compatible process applications.
Material suitability should still be confirmed for the specific fluid, temperature, cleaning process, and operating environment.
How the HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valve Works
The HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valve is designed to allow flow in the intended direction while helping prevent reverse flow.
During forward flow, process fluid moves the internal ball away from the seat and into the branch of the valve body, opening the primary flow path.
When forward flow stops or reverses, the ball returns toward the seat. Reverse differential pressure forces the ball against the seat, creating the check-valve seal.
Because the ball and seat work together to create this sealing action, their condition is important to reliable valve operation.
Repair Kit Selection
Correct repair-kit selection requires matching the valve size, elastomer material, and ball material to the existing HYC-Series valve and process requirements.
For a 1-1/2" HYC-Series valve requiring EPDM sealing components and a PTFE replacement ball, HYC-RKE150 is the corresponding complete repair kit.
If the existing PTFE ball remains serviceable and only the gasket and seat require replacement, HYC-SKE150 is the corresponding EPDM seal-kit option.
Dixon also lists other material combinations for the HYC-Series. Confirm elastomer and ball materials before ordering rather than selecting by valve size alone.
Installation & Maintenance
Before servicing the valve, isolate the affected piping system and completely relieve all internal pressure. Drain, clean, and decontaminate the valve as required by the process media and facility procedures.
Disassemble the valve according to applicable Dixon maintenance procedures. Remove the existing cap gasket, ball, and seat, then inspect the valve body and remaining components for wear, corrosion, contamination, product buildup, or physical damage.
Install the new EPDM cap gasket, PTFE ball, and EPDM/CF8M seat in their proper locations and orientation. Protect all sealing surfaces from scratches, contamination, cutting, twisting, or deformation during installation.
Reassemble the valve according to manufacturer procedures. Confirm that the ball moves freely and that all components are correctly positioned before returning the valve to service.
After installation, verify correct check-valve operation and inspect the assembly for leakage under appropriate system conditions.
Our team can help confirm your HYC-Series valve size, seal material, ball material, and whether you need a seal kit, complete repair kit, or replacement ball.

What valve size does Dixon HYC-RKE150 fit?
HYC-RKE150 is the complete EPDM/PTFE repair-kit option for compatible 1-1/2" Dixon HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valves.
What type of kit is HYC-RKE150?
It is a complete repair kit containing the main gasket, ball, and seat components used during an HYC-Series valve rebuild.
What is included in HYC-RKE150?
The kit contains one EPDM cap gasket, one PTFE ball, and one EPDM/CF8M seat.
Does HYC-RKE150 include a replacement ball?
Yes. HYC-RKE150 includes one PTFE replacement ball.
What elastomer material does HYC-RKE150 use?
The cap gasket and seat sealing material are EPDM.
What material is the ball?
The replacement ball included with HYC-RKE150 is PTFE.
What is the seat construction?
Dixon identifies the included seat as EPDM/CF8M.
What is the difference between HYC-RKE150 and HYC-SKE150?
HYC-RKE150 includes the EPDM cap gasket, PTFE ball, and EPDM/CF8M seat. HYC-SKE150 includes only the EPDM cap gasket and EPDM/CF8M seat.
Can I purchase only the replacement ball?
Yes. Dixon lists HYC-TB150 as the PTFE replacement-ball-only option for the 1-1/2" HYC-Series valve.
Is an FKM/PTFE complete repair kit available?
Yes. Dixon lists HYC-RKV150 as the 1-1/2" FKM/PTFE complete repair kit.
When should I use a complete repair kit instead of a seal kit?
Use the complete repair kit when the replacement ball is also required. If the existing ball remains serviceable and only the gasket and seat need replacement, the seal-only kit may be sufficient.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm that the valve is a compatible 1-1/2" Dixon HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valve and that EPDM sealing components with a PTFE ball are appropriate for the process media, cleaning chemicals, temperature, and operating conditions.
