Frequently Asked Questions
Lug valves have threaded inserts (lugs) that allow them to be bolted directly to the pipe flange, enabling dead-end service, whereas wafer valves are sandwiched between two flanges.
For high temperatures, PTFE (up to 200°C) and Viton (up to 230°C) are the recommended materials for optimal heat resistance.
Yes, the Series F101 is compatible with both electric and pneumatic actuators for sizes ranging from 1½″ to 48″.
The bodies are available in Cast Iron, Ductile Cast Iron, Stainless Steel (CF8, CF8M), and Carbon Steel (WCB) to suit different corrosion levels.
At lower temperatures, elastomer seats may become harder, which typically results in an increase in the torque required to operate the valve.
Yes, by selecting Stainless Steel bodies and PTFE or Viton seats, the F101 is highly effective for chemical and corrosive media handling.
