Butterfly valves are usually grouped into two types: lug-style and wafer-style. These mechanical components are not interchangeable and have distinct advantages and applications. The following guide explains the differences between the two butterfly valve types and how to select the right valve for your needs.

Lug-style butterfly valves are suitable for end-of-line service but a blind flange is always recommended. Lug-style butterfly valves are manufactured to be compatible with either pneumatic or electric actuation. Disc and seat material should be determined based on application and flow media.
Most wafer-style butterfly valves are engineered with four holes that align with the connected pipeline. The valve is designed to clamp between two flanges in your pipe work. Most wafer butterfly valves fit the majority of flange standards. The rubber or EPDM valve seat creates an exceptionally strong seal between the valve and flange connection.
Unlike lug-style butterfly valves, wafer-style butterfly valves cannot be used as pipe ends or end-of-line service. The entire line must be shut down if either side of the valve requires maintenance. Wafer style butterfly valves are manufactured to be compatible with either pneumatic or electric actuation. Disc and seat material should be determined based on application and flow media.
Choosing between a lug-style butterfly valve and wafer-style butterfly valve depends on your project specifications. For more information about butterfly valves and selecting the right part for your needs, contact RED-WHITE VALVE CORP. today.
The Val-Matic American-BFV Butterfly Valves are the butterfly valve of choice for shut-off service in water systems. The American-BFV Butterfly Valve line is designed to provide long life, low headloss and trouble-free performance.
Nil-Cor butterfly valves feature a double-offset disc design normally found only on expensive high performance types. This design allows the disc to move off the seat with a "camming" action, reducing break-away torque and seat wear. The 360 uninterrupted disc seal eliminates the leak path at the shaft hubs found on PTFE and rubber-lined competitors valves. A super-strong 17-4 ph shaft encapsulated with graphite reinforced vinyl ester resin eliminates corrosion and assures long trouble-free operation.
Nil-Cor uses premium epoxy novolac vinyl ester resin and a special blend of fillers, reinforcement and curing agents to produce an inherently corrosion resistant valve. Without the need for expensive liners that eventually swell or permeate, Nil-Cor valves deliver a long, maintenance-free service life.
The Nil-Cor Series 300/310 double-offset disc design allows the disc to move off the seat with a "camming" action, reducing break-away torque and seat wear. The 360 uninterrupted disc seal eliminates the leak path at the shaft hubs found on PTFE and rubber-lined valves. A strong Stainless Steel shaft encapsulated with graphite or fiberglass-reinforced vinyl ester resin eliminates corrosion and assures long trouble-free operation. 2ff7e9595c
