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 energy technology. With their robust elastomer seat seal, the high-grade metal construction and the available actuator variants (manual, pneumatic, electric) they offer a durable, reliably sealing and versatile solution for industrial piping systems. The range is available in wafer, lug and U-type designs and covers nominal sizes up to DN 600 – ideal for modular plants, skids, utility systems and the process industry.
