Asahi/America Inc.’s line of butterfly valves now includes increased pressure rated butterfly valves. The new butterfly valve model types 56D and 75D feature molded plastic PDCPD bodies with durable Polypropylene or PVDF discs. Wafer style ANSI B16.5 bodies have been engineered to incorporate molded body stops to prevent over-tightening of the mating flanges during installation. A spherical disc design improves flow characteristics and lowers operating torque. Industry standard ISO top flange mounting patterns facilitate gear-operator, electric or pneumatic actuator mounting. Valve types 56D and 75D feature non-wetted PDCPD bodies and 403 SS or 316 SS stems. Available in both EPDM and FKM seal versions, the valves can be combined with an optional PVDF disc to provide for a broader range of applications. Available in sizes 16in – 24in, the valves have a pressure rating of 110psi at 70F. The new 56D and 75D butterfly valves are a suitable solution for applications with higher pressure needs.
