Learn About Wafer Style Butterfly Valves
Wafer style butterfly valves are used for liquid flow control and stoppage. This type of valve is based on a flat disc, which can be turned in line with or perpendicular to the flow of liquid. When aligned with the flow, liquid passes around the disc and through the valve. When rotated to be perpendicular, liquid is no longer able to flow through the valve.
In this butterfly valve, wafer style refers to the mounting format. As opposed to the lug style, the wafer style butterfly valves features four mounting holes that will align with the pipe. The wafer style valve is designed to be clamped between two flanges for midstream flow and stop control.
Valworx valves can be controlled by electric actuators or air actuators, with pneumatic butterfly valves available in spring return or double acting construction. When controlled by actuator, butterfly valves offer maximum reliability, accuracy and quality performance.

Wafer Style Butterfly Valves
Wafer butterfly valves are used to control the flow of water and other compatible media. The wafer butterfly valve easily mounts between two ANSI/ASME 150 lb. pipe flanges with through bolts and nuts.
Electric Actuated Butterfly Valves
Electric actuators rotate an output drive to open and close wafer butterfly valves. Electric actuators provide a reliable and economical method of operating these valves from a remote location
Air Actuated Butterfly Valves
Rack & Pinion and quarter turn air actuators provide a simple and reliable method of automating butterfly valves. Pneumatic actuators are available in spring return or double acting.
