Frequently Asked Questions
Wafer type valves are more compact and cost-effective, as they are sandwiched between two flanges, reducing the overall weight and installation space compared to lug types.
For high-temperature or chemically aggressive environments, Viton or PTFE seats are recommended due to their superior thermal stability and chemical resistance.
Yes, by selecting Stainless Steel (CF8/CF8M) for the disc and stem, the Model 25 can be effectively used in corrosive environments.
The long neck extends the actuator/handle further from the pipeline, which is critical for installations where the valve is recessed or obstructed by other equipment.
Yes, the use of ASTM A536 Ductile Cast Iron ensures the body can withstand significant pressure loads typical in general equipment manufacturing.
Our Model 25 is available in a wide range of sizes from 2 inches (50mm) up to 12 inches (300mm) to fit most industrial piping needs.
