Characteristics

The lug butterfly valve balances the compactness of the clamp valve with the stability of the single-sided flange connection. One end of it has an integral flange (lug), and the other end is a clamp type. During installation, only one side needs to be connected to the pipeline flange, and the other side needs to be fixed with a nut. This design eliminates the need for relying on flange alignment at both ends like clamp valves, making installation more convenient and reliable. It is particularly suitable for pipeline ends or situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance, while avoiding stress issues that may arise from long bolt penetration. It is a preferred solution that balances space and stability requirements.

Characteristics

Key Advantages

1. Single side flange connection: One end of the valve body comes with an integral flange (lug), and the other end is a clamp type. During installation, simply fix the protruding ear end to the pipeline flange with bolts and tighten the clamping end with nuts.
2. Efficient Maintenance: When maintenance or replacement of valve internal components is required, only one side of the connection needs to be disassembled to remove or rotate the valve as a whole from the pipeline. Maintenance operations are more convenient and efficient than double flange valves.
3. Stress Absorption: It can better withstand the stress caused by vibration and thermal expansion from the pipeline, as well as the self weight of the valve, reducing the adverse effects of pipeline deformation on the valve sealing surface and helping to maintain the stability of sealing performance in the long term.
4. Wide Suitability: Very suitable for occasions that require frequent opening and closing or adjustment, and have requirements for installation reliability, such as circulating water systems, fire protection systems, ventilation systems, as well as atmospheric or medium low pressure pipelines in industries such as chemical and power.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Lug Butterfly Valve and how does it work?
A lug butterfly valve features threaded lugs around the body to connect directly to pipeline flanges. It functions with a quarter-turn mechanism where a disc rotates to regulate or shut off fluid flow in bidirectional operations.
What are the main advantages of a lug connection over double flange valves?
The lug connection allows single-sided flange installation, making maintenance much faster. You can disassemble one side of the pipeline without disturbing the opposite connection.
What working temperature ranges can this valve support?
Standard operational temperatures range from -20°C to 120°C. Depending on the seat materials chosen (e.g., EPDM, PTFE, Fluororubber), temperatures can handle down to -45°C or short periods up to +150°C.
Why is a pinless disc design preferred?
A pinless disc eliminates potential leakage points caused by pin penetrations, improving overall sealing capability and extending the durability of the disc assembly.
Which industries commonly use these valves?
They are widely applied in industrial circulating water systems, fire protection pipelines, HVAC ventilation systems, and municipal or chemical fluid processing systems.
How are these products packed for shipment?
All products are packaged in standard export wooden cases to ensure safe protection against impact during long-distance transportation.
