WAFER PATTERN

Wafer type butterfly valves are the industry’s go-to choice for efficient flow isolation and throttling where space is tight and budget is key. 

Designed with an ultra-slim profile, these valves are engineered to be sandwiched directly between two pipe flanges. The pipeline bolts encircle the entire valve body, clamping it securely into place.

Because they require less material and take up minimal space along the pipeline, wafer butterfly valves provide an incredibly lightweight, low-maintenance, and economical alternative to bulky flanged or lugged valves—without compromising on sealing performance.

Why Choose a Wafer Style Design?

  • Space-Saving Profile: The narrow face-to-face dimension makes them perfect for compact industrial skids, tight plant rooms, and crowded piping layouts.
  • Lightweight Construction: Reduced weight means easier installation, lower shipping costs, and less structural support required for your piping system.
  • Bi-Directional Sealing: Provides a reliable, bubble-tight seal against flow coming from either direction in the pipeline.
  • Centring Lugs: Most models include cast-in guides or holes to ensure perfect alignment with standard pipe flanges during installation.

Key Technical Specifications

  • Size Range Availability: Highly adaptable, ranging from small 2” (DN50) lines right up to massive 24” (DN600)+ industrial mains.
  • Flange Compatibility: Universally drilled to match common industrial standards, including PN10, PN16, ANSI 150, and JIS specifications.
  • Seat Types: Available with bonded or replaceable liners (such as EPDM, NBR, or PTFE) that extend slightly past the valve face, acting as built-in flange gaskets to eliminate the need for extra seals.
