Core Guide for Selection of Butterfly Valve Connection Methods

1. Wafer


Core advantages: thin structure (30%~50% thinner than flange type) and with lightweight (weight reduction of 20%~40%)


Necessary scenarios: it usually be used in space-constrained pipelines (equipment interlayer/renovation projects).


Typical applications: central air-conditioning circulating water pipes, and fire sprinkler main pipes (PN10~16)


2. Lug


Core advantages: single-end pressure isolation, removable single-side bolts


Necessary scenarios: segmented pressure test/maintenance (zoned water supply), vertical pipeline installation


Typical applications: secondary water supply pump room outlet valve, cooling water system segmented valve (PN10)


3. Flanged


Core advantages: Highest sealing reliability, resistance to pipeline stress and deformation


Necessary scenarios: Frequent disassembly and cleaning (filter tank backwash valve), high leakage requirements (food factory process water pipe)


Typical applications: sewage treatment dosing pipe, pharmaceutical pure water delivery pipe (PN6~16)



4. U-Section


Core advantages:

▶️ Protect soft seal ring (prevent extrusion failure)

▶️ Retain the lightweight advantage of the clamp type (30%~50% lower cost)


Necessary scenarios:

▶️ EPDM/PTFE soft seal valve

▶️ Frequent disassembly and cleaning of pipelines (CIP cleaning)

▶️ Uneven flange installation surface


Typical applications: Food and pharmaceutical CIP pipelines, DN300+ valves in water treatment plants


Selection tips: Choose U-flange for priority sealing protection, choose clamp type for space cost sensitivity, choose lug type for end point isolation, and use flange type for high-frequency maintenance scenarios.
