Product catalog summary
Valve Sizing Considerations:
When valve flow control characteristics are crucial, consider the total cubic feet per hour (cfh) required at both high and low fire, available air pressure drop, piping configuration between the control valve and burners, and the effect of the ratio of pressure drops in the complete system versus those through the control valve. For motorized butterfly control valves serving multiple burners, system pressure drops influenced by pipe size, lengths, and fittings are critical in valve size selection.
Combustion System Valve Sizing:
A common guideline is to size the valve (70° open) for a pressure drop equal to 1/5 - 1/6 of the total drop in the system, including the drop across burners. The change in flow and pressure drop across the valve is minimal when moving from 70° open to fully open unless the inlet pressure is significantly increased to maintain a 1" water column pressure drop. Butterfly valves exhibit negligible pressure drop when fully open in full-size pipes, handling flows and velocities typical of combustion systems.
Torque Requirements:
The torque required to operate butterfly valves with 3 psi inlet pressure varies by valve size, ranging from 2.8 lb-in for smaller valves to 317 lb-in for larger ones.
Valve Capacities:
Butterfly valve capacities are provided for air at 1" water column pressure drop (70°F air; 6 osig upstream pressure). Capacities are listed for both wide open and 70° open positions, with specific values for each valve designation and pipe size.
Standard Valves and Specifications:
Standard butterfly valves have female pipe threads for sizes ¾" through 6"; larger valves are flanged. Motorized valves can be equipped with a bracket, motor arm, and linkage for standard control motors or actuators. Manual valves are available with a locking handle in sizes 8" to 16". The maximum inlet pressure and temperature specifications vary by valve designation, with most valves suitable for air heated to 400°F. For higher temperatures, specific models with Grafoil seals are recommended.
Installation and Safety Notes:
Flanged valves should use flat flanges and full-face gaskets to prevent damage. The document emphasizes the importance of compliance with safety codes and standards due to the inherent risks associated with combustion systems.

North American Butterfly Valves Bulletin 1123/24/26 1124 and 1126 Motor Operated and 1123 Manual Air capacities listed below (wide open and 70° open) are under full flow conditions: The valve installed in a pipe run of the same size as the valve with a pipe velocity of 70 ft/sec. Butterfly valves have no appreciable pressure drop when wide open in full size pipe, handling flows and velocities of normal combustion systems. Therefore, capacity ratings usually are not a factor when selecting manual valves for individual burners or systems. VALVE CAPACITIES Butterfly valve capacities (see box above) scfh air at 1"w.c. pressure drop (70°F air; 6 osig upstream pressure)* Valve Cy Valve Pipe size wide 70° (70° designation inches open open open) If valve flow control characteristics are important, valve sizing should take into consideration: — total cfh required at high and low fire; — available air pressure drop; — piping configuration between control valve and burners; — effect of the ratio of pressure drops in the complete system vs. those through the control valve. Where a motorized butterfly control valve serves a group of burners, system pressure drops determined by pipe size, lengths, fittings, etc. affect valve size selection in critical applications. One "rule of thumb" for combustion systems, has been to size valve (70° open) for pressure drop equal to 1/5 - 1/6 of total drop in system including, of course, drop across burners. Change in flow and pressure drop across the valve is negligible when changing from 70° open to wide open unless inlet pressure is increased substantially to maintain the 1"w.c. pressure drop. TORQUE.
