Wafer-style double-offset (double-eccentric) high-performance butterfly valve engineered for reliable shut-off and accurate throttling in demanding industrial services. The double-offset disc geometry minimizes seat contact during operation, delivering low operating torque, reduced wear and longer service life — ideal for frequent cycling and tight shut-off applications.
Key features
- Double-offset (double-eccentric) wafer design for low-torque operation and improved throttling control
- Available sealing options: resilient (soft) seats or metal-to-metal (hard) seats to match liquid, gas and slurry service requirements
- Replaceable seat ring secured with removable bolts for fast on-site maintenance and lower lifecycle cost
- Resilient-seated construction (when specified) to reduce seat wear and extend service life
- Blowout-proof shaft design with self-lubricating components for safe, low-maintenance operation
- Mechanical travel stops to prevent over-travel and protect the disc and seat
- Sealing surface options: overlay or weld hard facings such as Stellite or tungsten carbide can be applied to the disc for enhanced abrasion and corrosion resistance
