Question:

What is the difference between wafer (flangeless) type and LUG type of butterfly valves?

What is the difference between wafer (flangeless) type and LUG type of butterfly valves?

Answer:

WAFER butterfly valve is the valve is divided into LUG (ears) with and without LUG, ordinary LUG without clip on 12 points in the direction of valve is generally two to four bolt holes was not, whereas the LUG of butterfly valve cross dispersed in a circle. Bolt hole. With LUG all bolted through the LUG, so that the butterfly valve and the clamp on the two flange connection is more solid, you check the valve picture, it is easy to understand
