AVK butterfly valves installed in Sweden

Double eccentric butterfly valves

We offer double eccentric butterfly valves in DN150-2800 designed with durability in focus. The tilted and firmly secured disc, the optimised seal design and therefore the corrosion protected shaft end zones are all features that exceed the market standards.

Longer service life thanks to tilted disc

The tension on the disc is released after a few degrees of opening which minimises wear of the disc seal. Furthermore, the design minimises the compression of the sealing which ensures low operating torques.

Safe disc and shaft connection

The disc and shaft are connected by means of a key and a keyway. The key’s secured with two set screws to prevent fluttering caused by flow velocity and necessary play in the key and keyway connection. Within the large dimensions the disc is secured with two stainless steel drive dowels, with key and keyway as back-up.

Three seat designs

The integral seat design has a machined and epoxy coated ductile iron seat integrated in the body. The stainless steel seat design comes in two variants. One with a replaceable seat ring of stainless steel sealed with an O-ring to avoid leakages under the seat ring and one with a welded stainless seat machined and polished to give a smooth surface.

Disc seal optimised for high performance

The disc seal is formed to secure fixation in correct position providing a very reliable function. The superb rubber quality makes it possible to reduce the amount of rubber which ensures low closing torques. The EPDM sealing is approved by DVGW, KIWA and WRAS.

Shaft design features

The shaft sealing’s replaceable under pressure to enable easy maintenance. Sealings of EPDM secure tightness from inside and out, and NBR sealings protect against impurities and fluids from outside.

The butterfly valves can fit with a locking device which makes it possible to lock the disc in open/closed position if gearbox replacement becomes necessary.

The low friction PTFE bearings ensure low

Operating torques and therefore the protected shaft ends secure durability since there are no uncoated ductile iron surfaces exposed to the media.

Bi-directional and slim design

The valves are bi-directional although valves from DN700 and up are marked with an arrow indicating the preferred flow direction. We’ve also minimised the weight to make handling easier and to put less strain on the environment.

Actuation of your choice

We offer any type of actuation. Our standard options are IP67 gearboxes with handwheel for above ground installation, IP68 gearboxes for buried service, and ISO-input gearboxes for mounting of electrical actuators. Furthermore, we provide extension stems, adaptors and hand-wheels.

Applications

Our double eccentric butterfly valves are compatible for water supply applications. They are available in PN10, PN16 and PN25.

Product approvals

The double eccentric butterfly valves are approved by

  • DVGW in DN150-1200
  • KIWA in DN200-600
  • WRAS in DN700-1200

For larger dimensions all components are approved.
