Spacer Inlet / Inlet Spacer - Part No. 510000354
Product Name: Spacer Inlet / Inlet Spacer - Part No. 510000354
Description:
This component is an inlet spacer, also known as a check valve inlet cap or spacer. It is a precision-machined, plug-shaped component typically made from high-strength stainless steel or hardened alloy. It serves as a specialized fastening and spacing element within the check valve assembly. Unlike a standard screw, it is designed to secure the internal components of the valve (such as the poppet and seat) while also maintaining a precise gap to allow for proper fluid flow and valve actuation. It acts as a retaining plug for the inlet port of the check valve body .
Applications:
Secures internal components (springs, poppets) within the inlet check valve assembly
Maintains precise spacing for proper valve operation and sealing
Seals the inlet port of the high-pressure water circuit
Suitable for ultra-high pressure waterjet systems operating at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar)
Features:
High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel or hardened alloy to withstand extreme pressure cycling
Precision-Machined Threads: Features accurately cut threads for a secure, leak-proof fit in the valve housing
Spacing Function: Designed to maintain a critical gap between components to prevent valve lock-up
High-Pressure Sealing: Engineered to withstand the extreme pressure spikes common in waterjet intensifiers without extrusion or deformation
Direct OEM Replacement: Specifically identified for DARDI waterjet systems
Maintenance:
Inspect for Leaks: Before operation, check the spacer for any signs of high-pressure water seepage or hydraulic oil weeping around the threads
Thread Care: During servicing, inspect the threads for galling, corrosion, or damage. Apply high-pressure thread lubricant or anti-seize compound to prevent seizure and ensure proper torque
Seal Replacement: If the spacer uses a bonded seal or O-ring, replace the sealing element each time the spacer is removed to prevent leakage
Torque Compliance: Tighten the spacer to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual. Over-tightening can damage the valve body or internal components; under-tightening will cause leaks
Full Depressurization: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system (both hydraulic and high-pressure water circuits) and follow lockout/tagout procedures before removing the spacer
Replacement Criteria: Replace the spacer if threads are damaged, the hex drive is stripped, or if cracks are visible
