Practical Applications of the φ34(DN25) Check Valve
The Giacomini DN34 (DN25) check valve is widely used across various fields due to its effective backflow prevention, making it suitable for many types of systems:
- Domestic Water Supply Systems: Prevents contaminated water from flowing back into the main pipeline, keeping the water source safe and clean.
- HVAC and Heating Systems: Maintains stable circulation of the heat transfer fluid (hot water or glycol solution), preventing reverse flow that could cause thermal imbalance.
- Industrial and Agricultural Applications: Protects expansion tanks and piping equipment in high-pressure environments with frequent operation.
- Solar Energy Systems and Boiler Rooms: Ensures one-way circulation of heat transfer fluid, enhancing operational efficiency and prolonging equipment lifespan.
Economic Benefits of Using the φ34 (DN25) Check Valve
Choosing and installing the Giacomini φ34 (DN25) check valve not only ensures system safety but also brings numerous practical economic benefits:
- Extends Equipment Lifespan: Preventing backflow reduces vibrations and hydraulic shocks, minimising damage to pumps, expansion tanks, and other equipment.
- Reduces Maintenance and Repair Costs: Controlled flow decreases the risk of leaks and breakdowns, saving on routine maintenance expenses.
- Optimises System Performance: N5 and N6 versions feature high Kv values for smooth fluid flow, while the R60 has low opening pressure and fast response, ensuring efficient and energy-saving system operation.
- Flexible and Efficient Investment: Users can choose the most suitable type—N5 for standard applications, N6 for durability in harsh environments, or R60 for high-end performance with flexible installation and high-pressure tolerance.
- Increases Project Reliability: With European-standard design and consistent quality, the DN34 check valve ensures long-term safe operation and reduces the risk of system interruptions.
Installation & Maintenance Guide for the φ34 (DN25) Check Valve
To ensure efficient and long-lasting operation of the Giacomini φ34 (DN25) check valve, users should follow proper installation and maintenance procedures:
Installation Instructions
For N5 & N6 (Swing Check Valve):
- Install the valve following the direction of the arrow marked on the body.
- Horizontal installation: The valve cover must face upward; incorrect orientation will prevent proper operation.
- Vertical installation: The valve will only operate correctly if the flow moves from bottom to top
For R60 (Spring Disc Check Valve):
- It can be installed in any orientation (horizontal, vertical, or inclined), as long as the flow direction is respected.
- Suitable for systems with limited space or complex layouts.

Maintenance Instructions
Periodic Inspection:
Perform regular checks depending on usage frequency and operating environment.
For N5 & N6:
- If signs of leakage appear, open the inspection cap on the valve body to clean the disc and rubber seal.
- Remove dirt and debris using compressed air or mechanical cleaning.
For R60:
- In case of leakage, remove the entire valve from the system to clean the seal and spring.
- Always relieve pressure and shut off the fluid supply before disassembly to ensure operator safety.
