Product Overview
The Series F170 Wafer Type Butterfly Valve is engineered for high-performance flow control, featuring a robust one-piece thru shaft design that ensures exceptional dependability and structural integrity. By utilizing a direct stem-drive disc movement, this valve provides precise modulation and reliable sealing for a wide range of industrial fluid handling applications.
Designed for versatility, the F170 series supports a broad spectrum of actuation methods—from manual handles for smaller diameters to gear operators and electric or pneumatic actuators for larger installations. With extensive body and trim combinations available, it is the ideal solution for engineers seeking a customizable valve that meets stringent operational requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
A one-piece thru shaft provides superior structural stability and reduces potential leak points, ensuring the valve remains dependable even under high-cycle operations.
The F170 can be equipped with manual handles (up to 12"), manual gear operators (up to 24"), and both electric or pneumatic actuators (up to 24").
Yes, it is available in various configurations to meet ANSI 125/150, PN10, PN16, and 10K standards.
Yes, because we offer many body and trim combinations, you can select materials specifically suited for your application's chemical compatibility.
Wafer valves, like the F170, are sandwiched between two flanges, making them more compact and cost-effective for systems where the valve does not need to support dead-end piping.
We provide a comprehensive dimensions list ranging from 1.5" to 24". We recommend matching the nominal diameter to your pipe size and verifying the flange standard (e.g., ANSI or PN).
