The difference between vertical and horizontal butterfly valves in municipal water supply

The difference between vertical and horizontal butterfly valves in municipal water supply

Answer:

The general municipal water supply butterfly valve is mainly vertical installation, mainly due to underground pipe network, vertical drive device in the upper, easy to operate, and installation of smaller wells;Horizontal, usually large diameter butterfly valve, usually used in the main network, often open, not easy to collect slag.
Function is no difference, mainly the installation conditions are not the same, vertical valve shaft in the vertical direction, the valve well on the deep, horizontal valve shaft in the horizontal direction, the valve width to be larger, and the other is no difference
Vertical and horizontal only installation directions and installation methods are different. Functionally, there is no difference.The main difference between the two methods of installation is that:1. horizontal can effectively avoid the high temperature radiation above the pipe. The disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of space.The advantage of the 2. vertical is that the occupation space is smaller, and it is easy to install. If the pipeline is higher, it is not convenient for maintenance.
