Q1: What is a wafer type butterfly valve connection and how does it differ from a lug type?
A: A wafer type butterfly valve connection uses centering lugs or a simple wafer body that is clamped between two flanges using long bolts. It does not have threaded inserts, making it lighter and more economical than lug type. The valve relies on the flange gaskets for sealing. It is ideal for end-of-line service only if used with proper restraint, but for dead-end service, a lug type is recommended. Our wafer design meets ISO 5208 Class A bubble-tight shut-off.
Q2: What are the standard flange standards for wafer butterfly valves?
A: The most common standards are ASME B16.5 (Class 150/300) for US market, EN 1092-1 (PN10/PN16) for European, and JIS B2220. Our wafer type butterfly valve connection is available in all three standards with dual-drilled flange patterns for flexibility.
Q3: Can I use a wafer type butterfly valve for dead-end service?
A: Standard wafer type butterfly valves are not designed for dead-end (end-of-line) service unless specifically certified. For dead-end applications, we recommend our lug type butterfly valve or a wafer valve with a backup flange. Please consult our engineering team for your specific application.
Q4: What is the typical lead time for a custom wafer butterfly valve order?
A: For standard sizes (DN50-DN300), we ship within 7–15 days from order confirmation. For custom dimensions, special materials, or actuated assemblies, typical lead time is 20–30 days. We offer expedited production for urgent projects — just let us know your deadline.

Q5: Do you offer free samples for testing?
A: Yes. We provide free samples for qualified engineering evaluations. You pay only the shipping cost. Sample lead time is typically 5–7 days. Contact us with your size, pressure, and material requirements, and we’ll arrange it.
Q6: How do I ensure the correct wafer type butterfly valve connection for my pipeline?
A: You need to verify: 1) Pipe flange standard and class, 2) Valve size and face-to-face dimension, 3) Media type and temperature, 4) Required shut-off pressure. Our technical team offers free consultation — send us your specs and we’ll confirm compatibility within 24 hours.
Q7: What are your payment terms for international orders?
A: We accept T/T (wire transfer), L/C at sight, and for long-term partners, net 30–60 days (credit check required). Minimum order quantity (MOQ) for standard wafer butterfly valves is 5 pcs per size. For custom orders, MOQ negotiable.
