Lug-style butterfly valve is corrosion-resistant
The Type 565 lug-style butterfly valve (photo) completes this company’s Type 565 portfolio of lightweight, corrosion-free options for water-transport and water-treatment applications. The lug-style design is highly suitable for use as an end valve, permitting one-sided disassembly. Like the Type 565 Wafer, the Type 565 Lug is designed to directly compete with metal valves. Offering corrosion and abrasion resistance while being lighter than metal equivalents, both the 565 Wafer and 565 Lug exist as cost-effective alternatives. Compatibility with the company’s other automation components allows for seamless integration into an automation loop. Furthermore, the valves carry an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), as well as numerous marine and water approvals. — GF Piping Systems, Irvine, Calif.
