Keystone Dubex RMI AWWA Butterfly Valves

6" to 160"

Double-flanged, triple eccentric, resilient seated valve

designed for services in the water industry.

Features
Triple eccentric design:
- 1st offset: center line of the resilient
disc seal is offset from the center line of
the shafts.
- 2nd offset: the center line of the shaft is
offset from the valve body.
- 3rd offset: the Keystone Dubex RMI
body seat landing surface has the
shape of an oblique cone with the
ground surface perpendicular to one
side of the cone.
Triple eccentric design, along with a
resilient disc seal, ensures bi-directional
drop-tight shutoff per the AWWA C504
specifications.
In-line replaceable resilient disc seal.
Fully rated dead end service.
Standard body seating surface is ductile
iron with Epoxy lining (Epasfill).
Alternative seating surfaces such as
stainless steel are available on request.
Dry shaft option available.
Axial bottom shaft bearing carrying the
disc weight when installed with shaft in
vertical position and ensuring accurate
centering of the disc assembly.
Reversed V-shaped packing for vacuum
applications.
Open brackets for packing access and
adjustments are available on request.
Self-lubricating bearings are PTFE lined.
Alternative bushing materials are
available on request.
Horizontal or vertical shaft mounting.

6" to 160"

Specific advantages of the triple eccentric design

Torque seated: greater torque results in improved tightness.
Closing torque is in direct relation with the shutoff pressure, which results in smaller
actuator selections at lower pressures.
Virtually no rubbing from the resilient seal on the seating surface. This enhances the life
and performance of the elastomer disc seal.
Large diameter valves are normally in open position. Sediments can settle on the body
seating surface. Due to the specific geometry these, sediments are wiped off during
closing, improving sealing performance.
The resilient disc seal is replaceable in-line.

Notes:
1. Listed data are valid for 150 psi rated
valve only.
2. Rated Cv = volume of water in USG/min at
60F that will pass through valve at a given
valve opening at a pressure drop of 1 psi.
3. Values may change without notice.

Simulation of disc deflection under pressure

4. Cv values are based on best data available;

however, no responsibility is assumed for
inaccuracies.
5. Allowable flow velocity:
72' - 10 Ft/s; 80" - 8 Ft/s.

Available Technical Options

1. Dry shaft option
Alternative to high corrosion resistance shaft materials, the Keystone
Dubex RMI valve can be equipped with the optional dry shaft provision.
In that case, the standard shaft material is better protected from the media
by applying a rubber lining. This lining helps protect the standard shaft
material against corrosive environments.

2. Combined Butterfly Check Valve (CBCV)

Example of 72" combined butterfly check valve for a power

station cooling water system

Computer simulation of CBCV

This unique and proven configuration combines the advantages of a

tight shutoff butterfly valve with the non-slamming action of a high end
check valve. The combined butterfly check valve is a cost effective
alternative to existing pump protection solutions such as traditional
swing type check valves, and large and complex cone type valves.

Specific advantages of the combined butterfly check valve design:

Power failure to close.
Very short closing times.
Simple, reliable quarter-turn operation eliminating the use of
multi-turn gears on sensitive electrical equipment.

Controlled closing times in order to avoid water hammer.

Quick opening times.
Non-slamming design.
Bidirectional tight shutoff service.
Available with add on power packs, control panels and cabinets.
In-line adjustable seat.
In-line maintenance.
Non-rubbing soft seat, enhancing the lifetime expectation.
Fully lined versions available for corrosive services.
Custom made.

3. Fabricated design
For specific applications, such as vacuum service and buried service,
a fabricated Keystone Dubex RMI valve design is available.
It incorporates all advantages of the triple eccentric resilient seated
butterfly valves with the features of a butt weld valve having identical
wall thicknesses between pipe and valve.
Having equivalent materials ensures proper welding and avoids
cracking due to different material expansion coefficients.
