Butterfly valve type 23 Lug

Robust Bray butterfly valve with corrosion-resistant nylon 11 coating.

Data sheet

Product information

The centric butterfly valve Bray type 23 (Lug) is a robustly designed, soft-seated industrial valve for applications in chemical, energy, water technology and general process plants. It combines compact overall lengths, reliable tightness and high material resistance with an industrial-grade ISO 5211 interface for automation.
Its nylon 11-coated body surface and one-piece disc-shaft design make it suitable for demanding media, higher switching frequencies and permanently corrosive environments.

Special features

  • Centric design for optimum flow conditions
  • Cast iron housing with corrosion-resistant nylon 11 coating
  • Valve disk/shaft as one-piece stainless steel version
  • Temperature range: -10 °C to +130 °C
  • Pressure stages: PN10 / PN16
  • Lug version for mounting on both sides and use as an end fitting
  • Flange connection according to DIN EN 1092-1
  • Overall length according to ISO 5752 / EN 558 (short pattern)
  • Only two wetted parts → Low maintenance requirements
    ISO-5211 mounting for electric and pneumatic actuators

Advantages

  • High operational reliability thanks to durable coating and robust stainless steel disc
  • Very good flow performance due to spherically shaped sealing contour
  • Low maintenance thanks to minimal design and low-wear components
  • Direct automation thanks to ISO 5211 interface
  • Standardized dimensions facilitate installation and replacement
  • High reliability for water, steam, neutral process media and industrial gases

Variants

  • Nominal sizes: DN 25-DN 300
  • Seals: EPDM, NBR, other materials on request
  • Version: Lug (product), optional wafer version (type 22)
  • Automation options:
    Pneumatic actuators (single/double-acting)
    Electric actuators (24 V / 230 V)
    Limit switch boxes, position indicators, solenoid valves
  • Optional: extended corrosion protection, special coatings

Areas of application

  • Water and wastewater technology (drinking water, process water)
  • Heating and cooling circuits in industrial plants
  • Chemical and petrochemical plants (non-aggressive media)
  • Energy and power plant technology (cooling and secondary circuits)
  • SKID systems and modular process plants
  • General industrial processes with liquid and gaseous media
