High- Quality Wafer Butterfly Valves At Best Price
Wafer butterfly valves are a compact and efficient flow control solution widely used across industrial piping systems. Designed to fit tight between flanges, these valves offer a lightweight structure that reduces installation space while maintaining reliable performance. By rotating a disc within the valve body, wafer style butterfly valves provide quick shutoff and accurate regulation of liquids or gases, making them a preferred option in industries that require dependable operation with minimal maintenance.
How Wafer Butterfly Valves Work
The valve consists of a circular disc mounted on a shaft. When the handle or actuator turns the disc parallel to the flow, the pipeline remains open; when rotated perpendicular, it blocks the passage. This straightforward mechanism allows wafer butterfly valves to deliver consistent performance in both on-off and throttling applications. Their compact face-to-face dimension also makes them suitable for systems with limited space or weight restrictions.
Common Applications
Wafer butterfly valves are found in a wide range of sectors, including:
-
Water treatment and distribution systems
-
HVAC and cooling water pipelines
-
Oil, gas and petrochemical industries
-
Food processing and chemical plants
-
Marine and offshore installations
In many cases, a stainless steel wafer butterfly valve is selected for environments exposed to corrosion or aggressive chemicals, while other materials may be used for standard water or utility systems.
