Product Description
What is a Lug Butterfly Valve?
A Lug Butterfly Valve is a type of sliding gate valve used to control the flow of fluids like water, steam, gas and chemical slurries through pipes. It consists of a wedge-shaped gate or disc that slides vertically in a ground seal design to open or close the passageway.
Features of Lug Butterfly Valve
- Body: The main Lug Butterfly Valve body is made from ductile iron which is strong yet can withstand impact without fracturing.
- Gate: The gate, which is the moving part that slides to control flow, is also made of ductile iron for its strength and long duty life.
- Seat: An elastomeric sealing surface ensures a drip-tight shut-off when the gate is closed against it with static or dynamic pressures.
- Bonnet: An enclosure bolted to the top of the valve houses the operating stem components to protect them from the process fluid.
- Stem: The stem transmits manual or actuator forces to raise/lower the gate. It threads into a nuts which rotates to open/close the gate.
- Flanges: ANSI/ASME standard flanges on either end allow for easy bolted installation between pipe flanges.
- Coatings: Ductile iron valves from Wholesale Lug Butterfly Valve Quote Manufacturers often receive external and internal protective coatings to defend against corrosion.
Utilizations of Lug Butterfly Valve
- Water Distribution Systems: Vital for filling water mains and ensuring the absence of air pockets in supply lines.
- Sewer Systems: Vacuum Lug Butterfly Valve play a crucial role in preventing atmospheric pressure from collapsing pipes during wastewater drainage.
- Hydroelectric Plants: Air release valves facilitate the smooth operation of turbines and generators by expelling air from headraces.
- Stormwater Drainage: Essential for releasing air from submersible drainage pumps and lift stations to safeguard equipment.
- Thermal Plants: Automatic blow-off valves eliminate air from boiler feedwater and condensate return systems for optimal performance.
- Water Treatment: Indispensable in clarifiers, sedimentation tanks, filters, and chlorine contact chambers for effective water treatment processes.
