GRUVLOK 0387002561 6 Ductile Iron Grooved End Butterfly Valve 316 Disc W/T Seal

Gruvlok 0387002561 grooved end butterfly valve is used in industrial fluid control systems to regulate the flow of liquids or gases in pipelines. Its grooved end design simplifies installation and maintenance. This Gruvlok valve is chosen for its efficiency in controlling flow, making it ideal for applications where precise and reliable fluid regulation is crucial, such as HVAC, water distribution and fire protection systems.

Working Mechanism:

• Gruvlok 0387002561 6 ductile iron grooved end butterfly valve operates by rotating a circular disc within the valve body.
• When the disc is parallel to the flow direction, the valve is open, allowing fluid to pass through. Rotating the disc perpendicular to the flow closes the valve, blocking fluid passage.
• A two-position On / Off handle precisely controls the disc's angle for variable flow. A Buna liner ensures a tight seal when closed.

Features:

• Gruvlok 0387002561 grooved end butterfly valve features ductile iron construction, ensuring durability in fluid control applications.
• This butterfly valve complies with AWWA C606 and MSS SP-67 industry standards, ensuring quality and performance.
• It comes with a two-position On / Off handle for precise control of fluid flow.
• This Gruvlok valve features a Buna liner, enhancing the valve's resistance to water and maintaining a tight seal.
• It is equipped with grooved ends for easy installation.
• This butterfly valve can operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to 150 degrees F.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to maintain a grooved end butterfly valve?

A. Maintenance usually involves inspecting and replacing gaskets, lubricating the stem and checking for leaks.

Q. What is the difference between a wafer and a lug-style butterfly valve?

A. A wafer-style valve fits between two pipe flanges, while a lug-style valve has threaded holes for bolts and can be installed in a pipe system with or without flanges.

Q. How do I select the right size of a butterfly valve for my application?

A.

• Identify system requirements: flow rate, pressure, temperature, and fluid type.
• Determine flow characteristics, considering constant or variable flow.
• Ensure compatibility with pipe size to minimise pressure losses.
• Check space constraints for valve installation.
• Account for future system changes or growth.
• Verify material compatibility with fluid and environmental conditions.
• Consider actuation requirements if automation is planned.
