Butterfly valves are widely selected for applications where compact construction, quarter-turn operation and practical flow isolation are important.
Compact Construction
Butterfly valve designs can provide a compact solution compared with many larger valve configurations.
Quick Operation
Quarter-turn operation allows practical opening and closing for many isolation applications.
Multiple Configurations
Wafer, lugged and flanged configurations provide flexibility for different pipeline arrangements.
Flow Isolation
Suitable for industrial applications requiring reliable flow isolation.
Installation Flexibility
Different connection configurations support varied piping and installation requirements.
Industrial Applications
Suitable for a broad range of process, utility and industrial fluid-handling systems.
Simple Quarter-Turn Flow Control
A butterfly valve uses a circular disc positioned inside the pipeline. The disc rotates around a stem to control the flow passage.
When the disc is positioned across the flow path, the valve moves toward the closed position. Rotating the disc away from the flow path opens the valve.
This quarter-turn operating principle makes butterfly valves suitable for many flow isolation applications.
