Description
This premium PVCu flanged butterfly valve is designed for reliable isolation and control of flow in industrial pipework systems. Manufactured from robust unplasticised PVC, it delivers dependable performance in both new installations and retrofit projects where a compact, quarter-turn valve is required.
Offering excellent corrosion resistance and a working temperature range from 5°C to 60°C, this valve is ideal for use with a wide variety of compatible liquids in process, water treatment and general services pipework. Available in 3", 4", 6" and 8" sizes, it integrates easily into standard flanged pipeline systems.
Product Features
- Premium PVCu (unplasticised PVC) body for strength and long-lasting performance in pipeline systems.
- Flanged connection design for straightforward installation and secure, leak-resistant joints.
- Available in 3", 4", 6" and 8" nominal bore sizes to suit common industrial and commercial pipework.
- Temperature operating range from 5°C to 60°C, suitable for many cold and warm water and compatible chemical applications.
- Butterfly disc and seat designed for smooth quarter-turn operation and effective shut-off.
- Corrosion-resistant construction offering excellent durability in harsh or chemically challenging environments.
- Top mounting pad compatible with standard actuation methods (manual or automated, depending on configuration).
Key Features and Benefits
- Corrosion resistance helps extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements compared with many metal valves.
- Compact butterfly design saves space and weight, making it suitable for tight plant rooms and lightweight support structures.
- Quarter-turn operation enables fast opening and closing, supporting efficient process control and isolation.
- Flanged ends simplify alignment and installation, helping to minimise downtime during new builds or system upgrades.
- Range of popular sizes allows standardisation across sites, easing spares holding and system design.
- Thermoplastic construction provides good chemical compatibility for a wide variety of non-abrasive fluids (subject to verification).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which valve size should I choose for my pipework?
Select the valve size to match the nominal bore of your existing pipework or system design. For example, use a 3" valve on a 3" line. If you are unsure, refer to your pipe specification or consult an engineer to confirm the correct nominal size.
Is this PVCu butterfly valve suitable for hot water systems above 60°C?
No. This valve is designed for a working temperature range from 5°C to 60°C. It should not be used in systems where the media temperature exceeds 60°C. For higher temperature applications, an alternative valve material and specification will be required.
Can this valve be used with chemicals as well as water?
The PVCu construction offers good resistance to many common chemicals, but compatibility depends on the specific media, concentration and operating conditions. Always check the chemical compatibility of PVCu and the elastomer seat material with your process fluid before use, and consult your safety or engineering team if in doubt.
