2" Explosion Proof Butterfly Valve, Wafer, EPDM, 24 VDC

Valworx 587622 explosion proof soft seated butterfly valve is used in environments where flammable gases may be present. On-off control of water and other media compatible with the materials of construction. Wafer style valve sandwich mounts between customer supplied standard ANSI/ASME Class 125/ 150 or other international standard flanges. Standard unit is power-to-open and power to close, stays in last known position with loss of power. On receipt of a continuous voltage signal, the motor runs and via an all metal self-locking gear drive rotates the disc one quarter turn. The motor is automatically stopped by internal cams striking limit switches at both open and closed positions. On receipt of a reversing continuous signal, the motor turns in the opposite direction reversing the valve position.

The valve is direct mounted to the actuator using the international standard ISO5211 mounting pad. Rugged unique integral motor/housing design provides higher torque in a very small package. Special wave line seat and disc shape, reduces the required torque and extends the life of the valve. Precision machined 316SS disc with two-piece stem (shaft) construction, enhances the flow capacity of the valve and reduces turbulence. The stem utilizes PTFE/graphite bearings with V-ring seals preventing leakage.

Explosion proof actuator certified for UL Class I Div I as well as ATEX specifications. Two auxiliary limit switches are supplied to confirm valve open and closed position.
