- Product Name: Cast Iron Butterfly Valve, Lever Operated
- Material:
- Body: Cast Iron (ASTM A126 Class B or equivalent)
- Disc: Ductile Iron (ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12) or Cast Iron
- Stem: Stainless Steel (ASTM A276 Type 304 or equivalent)
- Seat: EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), or other suitable elastomer
- Lever: Ductile Iron or Stainless Steel
- Connection Type: Wafer or lug style, with flanged ends for easy installation between flanges of compatible piping systems.
- Design:
- Butterfly valve design with a disk-shaped closing mechanism (disc) mounted on a rotating shaft (stem).
- Lever-operated mechanism for manual actuation, providing quick and easy operation to open or close the valve.
- Wafer or lug style body design allows for installation between flanges, providing a secure and leak-tight connection.
- Size Range:
- Available in various sizes ranging from 2 inches to 24 inches or larger, depending on the manufacturer and application requirements.
- Pressure Rating:
- Rated for various pressure ratings depending on the size, material, and application, typically up to ANSI Class 150 or higher.
- Temperature Rating:
- Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, typically from -20°C to 120°C (-4°F to 248°F), depending on the elastomer seat material and application.
- Features:
- Corrosion Resistance: Cast iron construction provides good resistance to corrosion, suitable for use in water, air, and non-corrosive fluid applications.
- Bubble-Tight Seal: Elastomer seat provides a tight seal against the disc, ensuring leak-free operation even at low pressures.
- Lever Operation: Lever handle provides manual actuation for opening and closing the valve, allowing for quick adjustment of flow rates.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including HVAC systems, water distribution, irrigation, and general industrial applications.
- Interchangeability: Butterfly valves are generally interchangeable with other valves of the same size and connection type, providing flexibility in system design and maintenance.
- Application:
- Ideal for use in HVAC systems, water distribution networks, industrial process piping, and other applications where reliable flow control is required.
- Commonly used in industries such as water treatment plants, chemical processing, power generation, and wastewater treatment.
- Standards Compliance:
- Manufactured to meet or exceed relevant industry standards and specifications, such as API 609, MSS SP-67, AWWA C504, and others, ensuring quality, reliability, and safety.
