Key Features of Audco IBG-ACE Gear Operated Butterfly Valve
- Integrally Moulded Body Liner: Vulcanised elastomer liner directly moulded into the body for a permanent, leak-proof seal that outlasts loose liners.
- Gearbox Operation: Worm gear actuator for precise, low-effort quarter-turn control – perfect for larger diameters where lever operation is impractical.
- Wafer Type Compact Design: Lightweight and space-saving, fits easily between PN10/PN16 flanges.
- Centric Disc Construction: Nylon-coated or robust disc material for smooth flow and tight sealing.
- Bi-Directional Zero Leakage: Reliable shut-off in both directions with minimal torque.
- Fit and Forget Reliability: No maintenance required; eliminates common issues like liner displacement or corrosion.
- Pressure Rating: PN10 (10 bar) for low to medium pressure systems.
- High Durability: Reduced friction design extends service life in abrasive or frequent cycling applications.
This Audco PN10 gear operated butterfly valve excels in HVAC, water treatment, and general process lines, offering superior performance over conventional valves.
