FAQs of LnT aqua Seal Butterfly Valve Gear Operated:
Q: How does the gear-operated mechanism benefit the operation of the LnT Aqua Seal Butterfly Valve?
A: The gear-operated mechanism provides precise and effortless control of flow, particularly beneficial for larger valve sizes or installations requiring frequent flow regulation. It enables smooth and safe operation while reducing manual effort.
Q: What are the advantages of using EPDM as the seat material in this butterfly valve?
A: EPDM offers excellent resistance to water, heat, and various chemicals, making it ideal for potable water and HVAC applications. It ensures a bubble-tight shutoff, minimizing the risk of leakage and enhancing valve performance.
Q: Where can the LnT Aqua Seal Butterfly Valve be installed?
A: This valve is suitable for installation in potable water pipelines, irrigation systems, HVAC networks, and fire-fighting installations. Its design allows vertical or horizontal mounting between flanges as per IS:6392, BS:10, and ASA 150 standards.
Q: What is the process for installing a wafer-type butterfly valve like this one?
A: Installation involves positioning the valve between two flanges in the pipeline, ensuring the alignment of bolt holes, and securely tightening the bolts. The wafer design simplifies maintenance and allows for easy removal or replacement without disturbing the entire pipeline.
Q: When is it recommended to use this butterfly valve over other valve types?
A: This butterfly valve is ideal when quick shutoff, reliable leakage prevention, and cost-effective flow control are needed, especially in systems handling water at pressures up to PN 16 and temperatures ranging from -10C to 80C.
Q: What maintenance steps are necessary to ensure the longevity of this valve?
A: Routine inspections, periodic gear lubrication, and checking for wear on the EPDM seat and disc are recommended. The fusion bonded epoxy coating helps minimize corrosion, but visual checks for coating integrity further support long-term performance.
