High Performance Lug Butterfly Valve
High Performance • Durable • Leak Proof
High Performance Lug Butterfly Valve delivers tight shut-off, low operating torque, and stable sealing performance.
African Valve supplies high-performance lug butterfly valves in South Africa for industrial piping systems that require reliable isolation, secure flange connection and dependable sealing. These valves are available in different sizes, pressure ratings, materials and seat arrangements for water, oil and gas, power generation, mining, chemical processing and other industrial services.
The high-performance lug butterfly valve uses an offset disc and shaft arrangement to reduce contact between the disc and seat during operation. This helps reduce friction and wear while providing reliable shut-off. The lug body incorporates threaded or drilled lugs that allow the valve to be bolted directly to the mating pipe flanges using individual bolts.
