ADVANTAGES OVER BUTTERFLY VALVES

  • No disc in waterway to restrict flow or to increase pumping costs.
  • Allows passage of pigging devices.
  • Internal parts can be serviced without cutting valve out of pipeline.
  • 250 p.s.i.g. rating provides for future pressure increases over the 150 p.s.i.g. pressure rating found on most butterfly valves.

ADVANTAGES OVER DOUBLE DISC GATE VALVES

  • 100% bottle-tight seal. No more time-consuming testing to determine allowable leakage rate.
  • No pocket in bottom of valve to collect sediment or trap debris.
  • Lower torque requirements to operate valve.
  • 250 p.s.i.g. pressure rating compared to the 150 p.s.i.g. rating found on double disc gate valves.
  • Epoxy coated inside and out.
  • Lighter total valve weight.
