VAG RIKO® Plunger Valve

The VAG RIKO® Plunger Valve is a one-piece body, axial control valve engineered for precision regulation of flow and pressure in large-scale water pipelines. With a self-locking worm gear and cavitation-resistant design, the RIKO® ensures linear control with minimum vibration, even under high differential pressure. Its annular flow pattern and no-contact guides enhance performance and longevity.

The RIKO® valve is widely used in:

Water treatment plants

Pumping stations

Dams and reservoirs

Penstock control in hydroelectric systems

Pressure management systems in long-distance transmission pipelines

Standard RIKO® – One-piece body with manual or electric actuation

High-Pressure RIKO® – Optimized for PN 63–100 or ANSI Class 300 service

Anti-Cavitation RIKO® – With slotted piston and special cylinder for cavitation-prone applications

Body: Ductile Iron EN-GJS-400-15 (GGG-40)

Piston: Stainless Steel 1.4301

Guides: Hard-faced bronze

Seals: EPDM or custom sealing material

Fasteners: Stainless Steel A2 or A4 depending on size

High-quality epoxy powder coating ensures long-term resistance to corrosion, making the valve suitable for potable and industrial water networks.

Suitable for clean water, raw water, and cooling water. Optional modifications available for bi-directional media and mildly aggressive flow.
