Val-Matic Valve & Manufacturing
These butterfly valves are built for trouble-free operation
Used in thousands of field installations in municipal, industrial and power applications throughout the world, the American-BFV butterfly valves (photo) are highly engineered to provide long life and trouble-free performance. The ductile iron disc adds strength, allowing the disc to have a smaller cross-section and providing improved head-loss characteristics. Stainless-steel taper pins are designed to utilize tangential forces to provide the most secure method available for locking the disc to the shaft for strength and rigidity. — Val-Matic Valve & Manufacturing Corp., Elmhurst, Ill.
