Global manufacturer GF Piping Systems recently launched its new Butterfly Valve 565 onto the market. The cost-effective, lightweight, all-plastic valve shows advantages over metal valves in water treatment applications.
GF’s Butterfly Valve 565 is strong but lightweight, consisting of high-performance plastic components. It is applicable for up to 16 bars, and tough temperature ranges from -10°C to +80°C. The Valve 565 is 60% lighter than a comparable metal valve, so a single technician can safely and easily handle it during installation. After installation, the reduced static weight’s advantages can become even more significant, e.g., in marine water flow systems.
Designed to be quick and easy to install, Butterfly Valve 565 comes in the same installation length as metal valves (ISO 5752 Row 20), therefore avoiding costly modifications on the existing piping systems, a clear advantage over its metal opponent.
The new release from GF Piping Systems is made from superior thermoplastics and built to last, with a longer lifespan in water flow applications and a greater contribution to a more sustainable world.
