Description
The Wafer Butterfly Valve is designed with a stainless steel valve body construction in a wafer configuration for installation between pipe flanges. This butterfly valve utilizes a disc that rotates to control flow, with PTFE seats to provide leak-free shutoff when required in the process line.
The wafer style configuration enables easy access and maintenance for this butterfly valve, as the body acts as a spool piece between the pipe flanges. The integrated stainless steel material delivers corrosion resistance and the capability to handle many industrial fluids or media types.
The PTFE seat integrated into this wafer butterfly valve gives exceptional performance regarding durability, temperature ratings, and sealing capability. Together, the robust stainless steel body along with high-grade PTFE seat components ensure this wafer butterfly valve allows effective flow control and shutoff when demanded.
