Reliable Sealing and Maintenance-Free OperationAudco Slimseal and Aquaseal Wafer Butterfly Valves employ an integral seat design, providing bubble-tight shut-off and eliminating the need for separate gaskets. Their robust construction and corrosion-resistant epoxy coating ensure long-term, maintenance-free performance, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Versatile and Easy InstallationWith a wafer fit design that matches multiple flange standards (BS10 Table D/E, ANSI 150, DIN PN 10/PN 16), installation is straightforward and secure. The body's lightweight, compact structure makes handling and mounting easy, while the top flange, as per ISO 5211, facilitates automation for flexible operational needs.
Tailored Performance for Diverse ApplicationsAvailable in a range of sizes and material options for discs and seats (EPDM, Nitrile, Viton, Neoprene, PTFE), these valves can be precisely specified for water, air, gas, or oil systems. Manual lever or optional gear operation allows users to select the control method best suited to their application's flow and pressure requirements.
FAQ's of Audco Slimseal and Aquaseal Wafer:
Q: How do I install the Audco Slimseal or Aquaseal Wafer Butterfly Valve?
A: These valves are designed for wafer-fit installation between standard flanges (BS10 Table D/E, ANSI 150, DIN PN 10/PN 16). Simply place the valve between the flanges and secure with bolts. The lightweight body and compact design make the installation process straightforward.
Q: What benefits does the integral seat design provide?
A: The integral seat design removes the need for separate gaskets, ensuring bubble-tight shut-off. This simplifies maintenance and minimizes the risk of leakage, enhancing valve efficiency and longevity.
Q: Where can these valves be used?
