In modern fluid handling systems, the EPDM seated butterfly valve delivers an exceptional balance of durability and cost-efficiency. Our specialized lineup includes the Water treatment stainless steel EPDM seated butterfly valve, a premium solution designed for rigorous water purification and distribution environments. This valve features a fully stainless steel body coupled with a precision-molded EPDM liner, ensuring superior corrosion resistance and a leak-free shut-off across countless cycles. It meets key international standards such as API 609, EN 593, and ISO 5752, and can be supplied in wafer, lug, or double-flanged configurations to accommodate various piping layouts. With a temperature range suitable for both cold and hot water lines, and compatibility with pneumatic and electric actuators, this component simplifies automation in municipal water plants, reverse osmosis systems, and chemical dosing skids without compromising reliability.
The EPDM seated butterfly valve is engineered to provide worry-free performance in demanding media. Its EPDM seat resists ozone, weather, and chemicals such as dilute acids and alkalis, making it ideal for water, seawater, and mild chemical services. The disc and stem combination, typically made of stainless steel 316, minimizes turbulence and dynamic torque, allowing the use of smaller, lower-cost actuators. Every EPDM seated butterfly valve undergoes a full shell and seat leakage test according to EN 12266-1 Rate A, ensuring zero visible leakage at full rated pressure. Maintenance is straightforward: the seat can be replaced without removing the disc, and the blowout-proof stem adds an extra layer of safety. From cooling towers and swimming pool filtration to desalination units, the EPDM seated butterfly valve consistently delivers tight shut-off, long service life, and simple installation across all industrial sectors.

Typical installations include potable water networks, wastewater treatment basins, cooling circuits, chemical transfer stations, and desalination skids. The stainless steel construction combined with the resilient EPDM liner creates a maintenance-friendly barrier against rust and scaling. All configurations are designed for fast on-site assembly and can be delivered with factory-fitted actuation to reduce commissioning time.
When it comes to fluid control in demanding environments, standard cast iron valves often fall short. Introducing the EPDM seated butterfly valve by Zhongguan Valve—engineered with an all-stainless steel structure to deliver exceptional longevity, superior corrosion resistance, and flawless sealing performance.
1. Robust All-Stainless Steel Construction
The valve body and disc are crafted from high-grade SS304 or SS316 stainless steel. This makes our EPDM seated butterfly valve highly resilient against seawater, potable water, high humidity, and mildly corrosive media. Compared to traditional cast iron alternatives, it offers a significantly extended service life, making it the ideal choice for coastal regions, marine engineering, water treatment plants, and food processing industries.
2. High-Resilience EPDM Elastomer Seat
Equipped with a premium EPDM rubber seat, the valve exhibits outstanding elasticity, recovery, and aging resistance. This ensures a tight, zero-leakage seal even under high-frequency cycling. It is perfectly optimized for handling water, air, sewage, and light chemical media.
3. Low Torque & Effortless Operation
The stainless steel disc undergoes a precision polishing process to drastically reduce fluid resistance. Paired with our finely machined stem structure, the EPDM seated butterfly valve operates smoothly with minimal torque, reducing wear on actuators and lowering your overall operational costs.
4. Global Standards & Flexible Connections
To seamlessly fit into diverse international piping configurations, we offer multiple connection types including Wafer, Lug, and Flanged styles. Our manufacturing complies strictly with global standards such as GB, DIN, ANSI, and JIS.
5. Multi-Actuator Compatibility
Whether your system requires manual or automated control, our valves can be effortlessly configured with handwheels, worm gears, pneumatic actuators, or electric actuators to match your specific torque and automation requirements.
6. Full-Size Availability & Rapid Delivery
We maintain an extensive inventory of standard sizes from DN40 to DN300 for immediate shipment. For large-scale projects, sizes from DN350 up to DN1600 can be quickly customized to meet your bulk procurement timelines.
