Engineering Selection Guide

How Buyers Specify the Right Butterfly Valve

Seat material and end connection drive 80% of butterfly valve selection errors we see in incoming RFQs. Use this quick reference before you finalise a datasheet.

Butterfly Valve Seat Materials Compared
Seat MaterialTypical MediaIndicative TemperatureAvoid With
EPDMWater & HVACPotable water, wastewater, chilled & hot water, mild acids and alkalisapprox. -20 °C to +120 °CMineral oils, fuels, hydrocarbons

Ranges are indicative. Always confirm against the pressure–temperature rating of the specific valve model in our catalog.

Wafer Type

Clamped between two pipe flanges by through-bolts. The lightest and most economical body for general isolation.

  • Lowest weight and cost per size
  • Ideal for HVAC and water distribution
  • Not intended for dead-end service

Lug Type

Threaded lugs let each flange bolt independently, so downstream piping can be removed for maintenance.

  • Suitable for dead-end service within rated limits
  • Simplifies pipeline maintenance
  • Common in fire protection and process skids

Double Flanged

Integral flanges on both ends provide the most rigid installation for large bore and high-pressure lines.

  • Preferred for large diameters
  • Pairs with electric or pneumatic actuators
  • Available in triple eccentric metal-seated designs
OEM Manufacturing · Design to Delivery

A Controlled Five-Stage Production Workflow

Genuine OEM capability means more than adding your logo. Each stage below is documented so your quality team can trace every valve that leaves our Tianjin facility.

01

Drawing & Spec Review

Engineers confirm size, pressure class, end connection, materials and actuation against your datasheet.

02

Casting & Material Check

Body and disc castings are inspected and matched to the specified grade before machining.

03

Precision Machining

Seat bores, stem holes and flange faces are machined for consistent sealing and alignment.

04

Assembly & Testing

Valves are assembled and pressure tested for shell strength and seat tightness prior to release.

05

Marking & Export Packing

Custom branding, coating and export-grade packaging prepared for sea or air freight.

Contact us
Which international standards do ZFA valves comply with?

Our valves are designed and manufactured in compliance with ASTM, ANSI, ISO, BS, DIN, GOST, JIS and KS standards, so they can be specified directly into projects across North America, Europe, Russia/CIS and Asia.

What certifications does Tianjin Zhongfa Valve hold?

We operate an ISO 9001 certified quality management system and hold CE certification. Certificate copies can be supplied with your catalog request or project documentation.

Do you offer OEM butterfly valve manufacturing?

Yes. We support OEM projects from drawing review and material selection through casting, machining, assembly, pressure testing, custom marking and export packing. We also supply butterfly valve parts — bodies, discs, stems and seats — to valve assemblers.

How do I choose between EPDM, NBR and PTFE seats?

EPDM is generally chosen for water, wastewater and HVAC; NBR for oils, fuels and hydrocarbons; PTFE for aggressive chemicals and hygienic service. Confirm the final choice against the media, temperature and pressure rating of the specific valve.

How quickly will I receive a technical response?
