Using a compact design, the butterfly valve is a quick acting rotary valve ideal for tight spaces due to its flanged design. Butterfly valve bodies are offered in many different configurations. As a result, butterfly valves can be used across various applications. For example, they perform well in large volume water applications and slurry applications. Some typical applications of butterfly valves are cooling water, air, gases, fire protection, slurry, similar services, vacuum service, high-pressure and high-temperature water and steam services, and compressed air or gas applications.
