The most
critical aspect of the Series BFV Butterfly Valves
is the cartridge seat design, which alleviates installation
problems associated with common "dove tail design" seats.
Valve torque is lower and more consistent because the seat
dynamics do not rely on being mated between two flanges.
Precision machining of the disc and body allow the cartridge
design to maintain a tighter disc to seat tolerance, providing
a perfect low torque seal each and every time the valve
is cycled. Seat to disc seal is independent of flange support
and capable of full rated dead end service. Select from
wafer or lug patterns with either a 10-position locking
handle lever or manual gear operator. Standard valves provide
bubble tight sealing to 225 psi (15.5 bar) and are designed
to comply with MSS-SP-67 and API-609.
APPLICATIONS
- Perfect for on-off or throttling service
- Ideal for shut-off of water in chillers, cooling towers,
and thermal storage systems
- Air dampers
- Irrigation systems
- Tank trucks
- Sewage systems, waste water treatment
