VSI Waterworks’ Series BFIII Butterfly Valves
The VSI Waterworks’ BFIII Butterfly Valve is the ultimate flow control valve for waterworks systems, available in line sizes from 8” to 72”.
Valves in this line are designed and constructed to meet or exceed AWWA C504. The resilient seat is held on the disc by a single piece retainer made of a choice of corrosion resistant materials. The body mounted seating surface is constructed of a solid piece of corrosion resistant material that is also field replaceable. The rebuildable nature of the Series BFIII make it perfect for throttling of line media with abrasive characteristics. The double offset design also has an inherently low operating torque that helps offset the ever-rising cost of valve actuation.
The robust nature of these valves means that they will be in service for many years, and it will outlast the actuator used to control it.
