Asahi/America, Inc. has introduced the CPVC body and disc Type-57P butterfly valve. The new material for Asahi/America’s Type-57 features a durable injection molded gray color CPVC body and disc with EPDM or FKM seat and seals, and 316 stainless steel non-wetted stem. A redesigned, high visibility throttle positioning plate has been added, which features an opening degree legend in 10° increments, making accurate throttle positioning between 0° closed and 90° open possible. For high cycle life and smooth torque, seat/disc bushings have been fitted with dual O-ring seals. Additionally, two molded tag holes are positioned in the valve body for user-defined valve identification purposes. The CPVC Type-57P is available now in ANSI wafer style connection, sizes 2”, 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” in both lever and Plasgear™ operator.
