Fully open/closed or throttling services

Frequent operation

Minimal fluid trapping in line

The disc or wafer rotates about a vertical axis & can be turned through 90deg. .The disc seals against the opening to cut of flow & can be positioned ata point between fully closed and fully opens as required

Application: Liquids, gases, slurries, liquids with suspended solids andventilation systems

 Small, light-weight, easy operation ,low cost ,minimum maintenance,drip tight shut –off , quick-acting & reliability

High capacity, Low pressure drop& self-sealing so they don’trequire an additonal flange gasket for installation
