Wafer Butterfly Valves
Wafer butterfly valves are slim, space-saving devices used to control the flow of fluids in pipelines. They consist of a flat disc that rotates to regulate the flow, making them lightweight and easy to install between flanges. These valves are often preferred for their simple design and efficient flow control.

Wafer butterfly valves are a type of industrial valve commonly used to control the flow of fluids in pipelines. They are characterized by their compact and lightweight design, making them easy to install between flanges without the need for additional supports or hardware. These valves consist of a disc, typically made of metal or other materials, which rotates within the valve body to regulate the flow. When the disc is parallel to the flow direction, the valve is open, and when it's perpendicular, the valve is closed.
Wafer butterfly valves are well-suited for applications where space and weight considerations are essential, and they are often used in industries such as water treatment, HVAC, and various process industries. They provide reliable and cost-effective flow control, offering a quick and efficient way to start, stop, or regulate fluid flow.
