Dixon's HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valve is designed with serviceable internal components, including a replaceable seat. The HYC-SKE150 provides the gasket and seat required for seal-focused maintenance on a compatible 1-1/2" valve.

This makes the seal kit useful when the existing ball remains serviceable but the valve's sealing components require replacement because of normal wear, maintenance schedules, leakage, or inspection findings.

If the ball also requires replacement, a complete repair kit or appropriate replacement ball should be selected instead of relying on the HYC-SKE150 alone.

EPDM is used as a product-contact seal option within Dixon's HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valve family. It is commonly selected for sanitary and process applications involving compatible fluids and cleaning procedures.

Actual suitability depends on the process media, chemical concentration, temperature, cleaning agents, sanitation procedures, and other operating conditions. Confirm EPDM compatibility with the specific application before installing the replacement seals.

If EPDM is not appropriate for the process, Dixon also offers an FKM seal-kit option for the 1-1/2" HYC-Series valve.

Dixon HYC-Series Y-Ball Check Valves are designed to help prevent reverse fluid flow in sanitary process systems. During forward flow, the process liquid forces the internal ball into the branch of the valve, allowing fluid to pass through the body.

When forward flow stops and pressure equalizes, the ball returns to the seat to help prevent backflow. If reverse flow occurs, differential pressure forces the ball against the seat to form the check-valve seal.

Because the seat directly contributes to this sealing action, its condition should be evaluated during routine valve inspection and maintenance.

Before servicing the valve, isolate the affected piping system and completely relieve internal pressure. Drain, clean, and decontaminate the valve as required by the process media and facility maintenance procedures.

Disassemble the HYC-Series valve according to the applicable Dixon maintenance instructions. Remove the existing cap gasket and seat, then inspect the surrounding valve surfaces, ball, end cap, and other internal components for wear, damage, contamination, or product buildup.

Install the new HYC-SKE150 cap gasket and seat in their correct locations and orientation. Take care not to cut, twist, pinch, or otherwise damage the EPDM sealing surfaces during installation.

Reassemble the valve according to the manufacturer's procedures. Before returning the system to normal operation, verify correct valve function and inspect the assembly for leakage.
