Frequently Asked Questions
Wafer type valves are designed to be sandwiched between two flanges. This results in a more compact design, lower weight, and significantly easier installation compared to lug or flange-type valves.
Selection depends on temperature and medium. For example, PTFE is ideal for high temperatures and chemical resistance, while EPDM is suitable for water and steam applications.
Yes, the Series F101 is designed for both on-off service and throttling applications, providing versatile control over the flow rate in your pipeline.
We offer a variety of operators including manual levers (for smaller sizes), manual gear operators for larger sizes, and fully automated electric or pneumatic actuators.
The Series F101 is manufactured to comply with several international standards including ANSI 125/150, PN10, PN16, and JIS 10K.
Yes, by selecting stainless steel (CF8/CF8M) for the body and disc and PTFE or Viton for the seat, the valve can be configured to handle highly corrosive media.
