Victoria butterfly valve 480, 481, 487

Versatile soft-sealing butterfly valves for water and chemicals

Data sheet

Product information

The GEMÜ Victoria butterfly valves types 480, 481 and 487 are centric, soft-seated industrial valves for demanding applications in water, chemical and power engineering. With their robust elastomer shut-off seal, high-quality metal construction and available actuator variants (manual, pneumatic, electric), they offer a durable, reliable sealing and versatile solution for industrial piping systems. The series is available in wafer, lug and U-type versions and covers nominal sizes up to DN 600 – ideal for modular systems, SKIDs, supply technology and the process industry.

Special features

  • Centric, soft-sealing design with elastomer seat
  • Housing variants: Wafer, Lug and U-Type
  • Nominal diameter range: DN 25-DN 600
  • Temperature range depending on seal material
  • Operating pressure ranges: 3 / 10 / 16 bar
  • Connection standards: PN 10, PN 16, ASME Class 150
  • Installation length according to ISO 5752/20, EN 558-1/20 and API 609 category A
  • ISO 5211 interface for electric and pneumatic actuators
  • Leakage rate A according to EN 12266-1
