The resilient-seated butterfly valve is one of the most widely used valve types in industrial and commercial piping systems. Its simple design, reliable performance, and cost-effectiveness have made it a trusted solution for flow control applications worldwide.
A resilient-seated butterfly valve consists of a circular disc mounted on a rotating shaft. The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe bore and rotates 90 degrees to open or close the flow path. The valve seat is made of an elastomeric material (such as EPDM, Buna-N, or Viton) that provides bubble-tight shut-off when the disc contacts it in the closed position.
In the open position, the disc rotates parallel to the flow direction, allowing fluid to pass with minimal restriction. As the disc rotates toward the closed position, it progressively blocks the flow path. In the fully closed position, the disc edge compresses against the resilient seat, creating a positive seal.
Resilient-seated butterfly valves are suitable for a wide range of media including water, wastewater, air, gases, mild chemicals, and food products. They are commonly used in HVAC systems, water treatment plants, irrigation systems, fire protection, and general industrial process piping.
At Laux Valve, all resilient-seated butterfly valves are manufactured to strict quality standards. Each valve undergoes pressure testing, seat leakage testing, and dimensional inspection before shipment. With ISO 5211 mounting pads, our valves are compatible with a wide range of actuators for automated applications.
