Product Description
I. Product Overview
The manual wafer - type soft - seated butterfly valve uses a lever handle to drive the disc for a 90° rotational movement, enabling on/off control and flow rate regulation of the medium. Its wafer - connection + soft - seal structure offers compactness and reliable sealing. It is widely applied in medium - to - low - pressure systems with clean media across sectors like water plants, power plants, chemical engineering, building water supply/drainage, and food/pharmaceuticals, combining shut - off and throttling capabilities.
II. Core Advantages & Features
1. Outstanding Sealing Performance
- Soft - Seal Pair Design: Utilizes a stainless steel disc + NBR/FKM seal combination. The elastic deformation of the rubber compensates for tolerances, with leakage rates meeting GB/T 13927 standards (some models achieve "zero leakage").
- Optimized Offset/Centric Geometry:
- Double - offset design: The disc tightens more as it closes, enhancing sealing reliability.
- Centric design: Minimizes flow resistance, suitable for high - velocity conditions.
2. Flexible Installation & Operation
- Wafer Connection: The valve body is clamped between pipeline flanges, making it small - sized and lightweight (30%-50% lighter than flange - connected butterfly valves of the same diameter), saving significant installation space.
- Bidirectional Flow Capability: Unaffected by medium flow direction, it can be installed in any orientation (horizontal or vertical pipelines), adapting to complex piping layouts.
- Convenient Manual Operation:
- The lever handle allows effortless 90° fast on/off operation (response in seconds).
- Some models feature an opening indicator dial, vdisc position and enabling linear flow regulation.
3. High Structural Durability
- Framed Disc: Boasts high strength and a large flow - through area, with flow resistance significantly lower than gate/globe valves, reducing system energy consumption.
- Versatile Material Options:
- Valve Body/Disc: Available in ductile iron (QT450 - 10), cast steel (WCB), or stainless steel (304/316), with a painted anti - corrosion finish.
- Seal Ring: Replaceable (mounted on the valve body or disc side) to suit different media (NBR for oil, FKM for high - temperature applications).

VI. Application Scenarios & Limitations
Applicable Scenarios
- Municipal Engineering: Water supply/drainage networks, sewage treatment plants (pump station switching, pre - shutoff for sludge transfer).
- HVAC Systems: Chilled water circuits, fire protection pipelines (fast actuation + low leakage, meeting fire codes).
- Light Industry: Food/beverage (sanitary EPDM seals), pharmaceuticals, textiles (clean fluid pipelines).
- Environmental Projects: Waste gas treatment, desulfurization/denitrification systems (weakly corrosive media, relying on anti - corrosion seals).
Limitations
- Unsuitable for high temperature (>200ºC, soft - seal aging), high pressure (>2.5MPa, seal failure), or abrasive media (e.g., slurry, which easily scratches rubber).
- Frequent throttling accelerates seal aging, requiring regular seal replacement (maintenance cost and frequency increase with harsher conditions).
VII. Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Installation Tips
- Verify the flow direction indicator (if present). When using wafer connection, tighten flange bolts symmetrically in stages to prevent valve body distortion.
- Orient the lever handle for easy operation (upward for horizontal pipelines, sideward for vertical pipelines), and reserve maintenance space.
Maintenance Recommendations
- Periodic Cleaning: Remove debris from the valve cavity (preventing disc jamming), especially in media with particles.
- Lubrication & Inspection:
- Regularly apply grease to the stem to prevent rust and seizing.
- Inspect the seal surface quarterly; replace worn seals promptly if scratches or aging are found.
Selection Note: Variations in offset design, material grades (e.g., full stainless steel body), and seal ratings exist among manufacturers. When selecting, clarify medium temperature, corrosiveness, particle content, and system pressure. Consult the manufacturer's technical manual for details.
