High Performance Butterfly Valves

Product catalog summary
Introduction & Featured Benefits
NIBCO provides a diverse range of high-performance butterfly valves for industrial and commercial use. These valves come in various materials, sizes, and pressure ratings, designed to deliver superior quality, performance, and service.
Specifications
The valves are produced using advanced machining technology and tested to 110% of their pressure rating. Key features include direct mount actuation, adjustable packing, bi-directional service, bubble-tight sealing, and a blow-out proof stem.
Materials & Components
Components include direct actuator mounting, adjustable gland flange, and various seat materials like PTFE and R-PTFE, suitable for high temperatures.
Numbering Guide
A systematic numbering guide helps identify valve specifications, including size, series, ANSI class, and materials.
Flow Characteristics & Cv Values
Detailed Cv values are provided for different valve sizes and disc angles, essential for determining flow rates.
Torque Tables & Seat Ratings
Torque tables for ANSI class 150 and 300 detail the torque required for various sizes and pressure ratings. Seat ratings indicate pressure capacity for soft-seated valves.
Dimensional Data & Standards
Dimensional data for ANSI 150 and 300 valves include critical measurements and applicable standards like ASME, ISO, API, and MSS.
Weight & Actuation
Weights for wafer and lug types are provided, along with manual actuator options. Gear operators and handle types are specified for different sizes.
Bolts for Piping
Details on bolt sizes and lengths for wafer and lugged types are included for ANSI class 150 and 300.
Conclusion
NIBCO's butterfly valves meet rigorous standards, offering reliability and efficiency for industrial applications. Comprehensive specifications ensure users can select the appropriate valve for their needs.
Operation
Valves can be operated with lever handles, manual gears, pneumatic, or electric actuators. The disc rotates counter-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is minimal, but stem packing may need adjustment. Leaks can often be resolved by tightening gland flange bolts.
Installation
Inspect valves for damage before installation. Install in the closed position to prevent damage, with proper alignment and flange bolt tightening to prevent leaks.
Preparation and Minor Repair
Depressurize and drain pipelines before valve removal. Follow specific steps for packing and seat replacement if needed.
Design Details
The valve features a bi-directional design with a marked flow direction and a disc stop to prevent over-travel.
Tools and Bolting
Installation requires a wrench for flange bolts, with recommendations based on ASME B16.5 standards.
Warnings
Failure to clean pipelines or follow flow direction can damage valves. Over-torquing flange bolts can damage gaskets and cause leaks.

Operation and Installation Allow enough gap to ensure the valve will slip easily between flanges. Center the flange gasket and valve. OPERATION: PREPARATION / MINOR REPAIR 1. The valve can be fitted with various operating devices such as lever handle, manual gear, pneumatic actuator or Electric Actuator. 2. By rotating the disc counter-clockwise to open or clockwise to close, the flow inside the pipeline can be regulated or shutoff - whichever is desired. Regular maintenance is not needed. Occasional adjustment of the stem packing may be required using the gland flange studs and bolts. It is...

High Performance Butterfly Valves-13

Operation and Installation DESIGN DETAILS The NIBCO® Sure Seal® High Performance Butterfly Valve is a double eccentric (double offset) design. This design minimizes torque and increases valve service life by decreasing seat to disc interference throughout the disc travel. Valves are available in wafer and lug design for ASME Class 150# (2”-30”) and Class 300# (2”-24”). The valve is bi-directional by design but has a recommended flow direction which is clearly marked on the valve body. WARNING: Failure to properly clean the piping before start up can result in damage to the disc or seat. This...
