Ductile Iron Butterfly Valves for Water Systems

Design, coating and material considerations for ductile iron butterfly valves in water infrastructure.

Ductile Iron Butterfly Valves for Water Systems

Ductile iron combines useful strength, castability and cost efficiency for many water and HVAC butterfly valves. Long service life depends on coating, trim and installation details.

Body construction

Confirm pressure class, body style, flange drilling and face-to-face standard.

Corrosion protection

Surface preparation, epoxy thickness and holiday testing may be specified for potable or buried service.

Wetted materials

Disc coating or stainless steel, stem grade and elastomer compatibility must match the water quality.

Quality checks

Review casting condition, dimensions, coating, operation and shell and seat testing.

Information to include with an enquiry

Provide nominal size, pressure rating, medium, temperature, connection standard, materials, operating method, required testing and project documentation. Greysen will review the duty and confirm the final configuration in the approved data sheet.
