Victaulic, the manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining systems, announced the launch of the new Victaulic StrengThin 100 Series E125 Installation-Ready butterfly valve, an ideal solution for HVAC applications.
In response to customer requests for more efficient valve installations, the Series E125 butterfly valve offers the best of both worlds: the benefits of a grooved valve combined with the ease and speed of installation of an Installation-Ready coupling. By encasing the capability of a rubber-lined butterfly valve within a coupling, the Series E125 valve reduces the overall footprint, considerably speeds up installation, and reduces weight by almost 50% compared to a flanged valve assembly.
Specifically designed for use on thin wall stainless steel pipe featuring the StrengThin 100 groove profile, the rubber-lined valve protects against leaking and ensures easier maintenance – all in a compact, easy-to-install design, suitable to be fit into tight spaces often associated with HVAC systems. The Series E125 butterfly valve is lighter in weight and allows for full 360-degree orientation, so it fits into tight, irregular spacing. Its economic design means there are no loose parts, making it safer and quicker to install – without the need for the star-pattern bolt and nut tightening.
The valve is available in DN80 – DN200 | 3”- 8” sizes and is specifically designed for systems up to 16 bar | 1600 kPa | 232 psi and for bi-directional service to full working pressure. It is also offered with a standard ISO 5211 stem and flange geometry to accept most gear and power actuators.
