Designed for reliable flow isolation and control, lug type butterfly valves provide strong bolted mounting, maintenance flexibility and compact installation for demanding industrial applications.
Key design and construction parameters for selecting the appropriate lug type butterfly valve.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Valve Type | Lug Type Butterfly Valve |
| Size Range | DN 40 to DN 1200 |
| Pressure Rating | PN10 / PN16 / PN25 / PN40 depending on design |
| Body Material | CI / DI / WCB / CF8 / CF8M |
| Disc Material | SG Iron / SS304 / SS316 |
| Seat Material | EPDM / NBR / PTFE / Metal depending on duty |
| Shaft Material | SS410 / SS304 |
| End Connection | Lug Type |
| Operation | Lever / Gear / Pneumatic / Electric |
| Design Standard | API / BS / EN as applicable |
| Testing Standard | API 598 |
Material selection should be based on the process medium, temperature, pressure and required corrosion resistance.
Compare lug type construction with other butterfly valve configurations based on installation requirements.
Select the valve configuration according to the actual pipeline and process requirements.
Select lug type where stronger bolted support is preferred.
Use lug design where one-side piping removal may be needed.
Choose seat and body materials according to process media and temperature.
Select lever, gear or actuator depending on valve size and operating frequency.
Lug type is often preferred over wafer where maintenance flexibility matters.
For the most economical compact solution, wafer type may still be preferred.
For stronger full flange-supported applications, double flanged may be better.
Disc, seat and torque selection strongly influence valve performance.

Available in sizes from DN 40 to DN 1200 and pressure ratings of PN10, PN16, PN25 and PN40, depending on the design and application.
Body, disk, shaft and seat materials can be selected according to the operating medium, pressure, temperature and service requirements. Manual and automated operating options are available for different installation requirements.
A practical valve solution for secure pipeline mounting, flow isolation and control across a wide range of applications.
Lug Type Butterfly Valves are designed for applications where compact construction, dependable shut-off and secure pipeline mounting are important.
The lug body allows the valve to be secured to pipeline flanges through individual bolting arrangements. This can provide useful installation and maintenance flexibility in suitable piping systems.
The appropriate configuration should be selected according to process medium, pressure, temperature, shut-off requirements and applicable project standards.

Material selection should be based on the process medium, pressure, temperature and required service performance.
CI / DI: commonly selected for water, utility and general-duty applications.
WCB: suitable for selected heavier industrial services where carbon steel construction is appropriate.
CF8 / CF8M: stainless steel options for applications where corrosion resistance and media compatibility are important.
Disk options include SG Iron, SS304 and SS316 depending on the process requirements.
EPDM: commonly used for water and utility services.
NBR: suitable for selected oil-related and hydrocarbon services.
PTFE: useful where chemical compatibility is an important consideration.
Metal Seat: may be selected for higher temperature and demanding shut-off applications.
Final material selection should always be verified against actual operating temperature and chemical compatibility.
The operating arrangement can be selected according to valve size, operating frequency and automation requirements.
Suitable for smaller valve sizes and applications requiring simple manual operation.
Useful where higher operating torque or easier manual control is required.
Suitable for automated systems, remote operation and integration with plant control systems.
Proper actuator sizing is important because operating torque depends on valve size, pressure, seat material, disk design and process conditions.
Both designs are compact butterfly valve solutions, but their mounting arrangements and application considerations differ.
Uses individual lugs and bolting arrangements to connect the valve with pipeline flanges. This design can provide useful maintenance flexibility in suitable systems.
Installed between two pipe flanges and generally selected when a compact, lightweight and economical arrangement is preferred.
May be preferred where full flange-supported mounting and a more robust installation arrangement are required.
Pipeline layout, pressure class, maintenance requirements and project specifications should be considered when selecting the appropriate butterfly valve configuration.
These valves can be configured for a wide range of industrial, utility and infrastructure applications.
Water treatment plants, pumping systems, distribution networks and utility piping.
Flow isolation and control in process piping and manufacturing facilities.
Applications where suitable body, disk and seat materials are selected according to the chemical medium.
Cooling water, chilled water and other compatible utility services.
Large-diameter pipeline systems where compact construction and practical maintenance access are important.
General fluid isolation and flow-control duties where the selected valve configuration matches the process.
Proper valve selection should consider the complete operating environment rather than valve size alone.
Correct selection can improve operational reliability and help minimize premature component wear.
