Wafer Type
A Butterfly Valve – Wafer Type is a lightweight, compact, and versatile valve designed to regulate or isolate flow in a pipeline. This valve features a circular disc (the “butterfly”) that rotates on a central axis, allowing it to open, close, or throttle the flow of fluids, gases, or slurries. The wafer-type design is installed between flanges, using bolts that pass through the flanges and the valve body, ensuring a tight seal without the need for additional gaskets.
Wafer-type butterfly valves are ideal for applications with limited space, offering excellent performance across various industries, including water treatment, HVAC, chemical processing, and oil & gas.
