Tri Clamp Butterfly Valve
Overview
Our custom butterfly valves are designed for operator use and convenience. They feature a significantly slimmer profile and lighter weight compared to other Butterfly Valves. The 12-position squeeze handle allows for repeatable setting and 180° rotation.
Butterfly vs. Ball Valves
Butterfly valves have a stainless steel flap in the center. Think of it like the wings of a butterfly spread open. Thosewingsprevent the flow of liquid. When you turn the handle, the flap turns, letting liquid pass by. But the port will always be partially obscured by that flap in the center. It usually doesn't affect flow rates appreciably, but if you need a completely open port, you want a ball valve.
Ball valves have a completely open center. They offer full port flow. They are, however, usually much larger, and heavier than butterfly valves, and are more expensive since they are made of a lot more material.
