Typical Butterfly Valve Installation Tips

• Maximum flow-through at 90°

• Actuation possible in hydraulically
blocked systems
• Critical disk position <30°
30°
• Risk of quick closure, large forces
act on seal, disk and the pipe
system
• Risk of pressure hammers
60°

90° The Butterfly Valve T-smart 7 22

Typical Butterfly Valve Installation Tips
• Avoid substantial mass flows,
especially during closing (e.g.
drainage valves during push out)
• Reduced risk of pressure hammers
• Reduced risk of valve defects
• Do not „lock in“ fluids
• Reduced risk of blocking valves
• Reduced risk of damaging valves
through heat expansion
• Shut-off task in welded pipe system
should be realized with valves with
intermediate flanges
• Easier handling during
maintenance!

• flanges with VARIVENT® seal
geometry
• subsequent pipe installation possible
with valve in process
• actuator clamped on internal flanges
• upgrade / change to pneumatic
actuator possible with valve in
process
