HC & VC Series – Sanitary Check Valves

Sanitary check valves, available in vertical and horizontal configurations, for industrial flow control.
The springless design reduces the risk of contamination in sanitary systems.
The split-body design facilitates maintenance and cleaning.
USP Class VI elastomers ensure compliance with sanitary regulations.

Overview
IMI PBM VC and HC series sanitary check valves provide reliable backflow prevention in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and food applications. They are available in

vertical (VC) and horizontal (HC) configurations and feature a split-body design with sanitary clamps for easy maintenance. These valves are constructed from 316L stainless

steel and C-276/C-22, and operate without internal springs or guides, thereby reducing the risk of contamination. They are designed for liquid and low-pressure steam

applications, supporting full vacuum up to 235 psig and temperatures up to 300°F. The VC and HC series utilize USP Class VI elastomers and

FDA-compliant materials to ensure hygienic, reliable flow control.
