The Wafer Type Butterfly Valve is a precision-engineered flow control solution characterized by its streamlined structure, compact volume, and lightweight design. By installing the disc perpendicular to the pipeline diameter, this valve achieves rapid actuation—opening or closing completely with a simple 90-degree rotation. This makes it an ideal choice for systems requiring fast response times and high operational efficiency.
Specifically designed for "sandwich" installation, the wafer body is seamlessly secured between two pipeline flanges using standard flange bolts. This eliminates the need for heavy tapped lugs, significantly reducing installation time and overall material costs. Engineered by Ningjin Thriveon, these valves are widely utilized in water treatment plants, HVAC systems, and diverse industrial pipelines across the United States, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Italy.

| Feature | Wafer Type (Thriveon) | Traditional Flanged Type |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Time | Ultra-Fast (Sandwich) | Slow (Heavy Bolting) |
| Material Cost | Low (Less Metal Used) | High (Thicker Flanges) |
| Footprint Space | Minimal (Slim Profile) | Substantial (Bulky) |
| Maintenance | Easy (Fast Replacement) | Complex (Requires Dismantling) |
| Total ROI | High (Low CapEx & OpEx) | Moderate (Higher Initial Cost) |
Wafer valves are sandwiched between two flanges and rely on the pipeline bolts for support, making them more compact and cost-effective. Lug valves have threaded holes, allowing them to be bolted independently.
We offer a range of materials including Cast Iron, Ductile Iron (often epoxy-coated), and Stainless Steel to suit various pressure ratings and corrosive media.
No, wafer type butterfly valves cannot be used at the end of a fluid system because they require two flanges to hold the valve body in place.
Ensure flanges are clean and aligned. Use compatible gaskets and tighten the bolts using a cross-torque sequence to distribute pressure evenly across the seat.
Our valves can be equipped with manual levers, pneumatic actuators for fast switching, or electric motors for remote integration into PLC systems.
Yes, our valves are precision-machined to be compatible with ANSI, DIN, and JIS flange standards, ensuring global interoperability.
