Frequently Asked Questions
Wafer type valves are sandwiched between two flanges and held in place by the flange bolts, making them more compact and cost-effective. Lug type valves have threaded inserts allowing them to be bolted directly to a pipe, enabling one side of the pipeline to be disconnected without removing the valve.
For extreme temperatures, PTFE is recommended for up to 200°C, while Viton can handle up to 230°C. For standard water applications, EPDM or NBR are typically preferred.
Yes, the Series F101 is suitable for both on-off service and throttling applications, providing versatile control over the fluid or gas flow volume.
For corrosive environments, we offer stainless steel (ASTM A351 CF8/CF8M) for the body and disc, combined with PTFE or Viton seats to ensure chemical resistance.
Depending on the size, you can choose from manual handles (1½" to 12"), manual gear operators (1½" to 48"), or fully automated electric and pneumatic actuators (1½" to 48").
Yes, our valves are manufactured to meet ANSI 125/150, PN10, PN16, and 10K standards, ensuring compatibility with global piping systems.
