ERA SCH 80 PVC 2 Inch Butterfly Valve Kit, with Flanges and Hardware

Description

Product Overview

The ERA SCH 80 PVC 2‑inch butterfly valve kit is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial fluid handling systems. Constructed from Schedule 80 PVC, the valve body offers exceptional resistance to pressure, impact, and a wide range of chemical agents, making it suitable for both high‑temperature and corrosive environments. The EPDM seals provide a reliable, long‑lasting barrier against leaks, while the ABS handle delivers smooth, precise operation with minimal effort. All hardware components are zinc‑plated steel, delivering enhanced durability and corrosion protection, and the stem is fabricated from 410 stainless steel, ensuring strength and longevity even under continuous cycling. The kit includes flanged connections that simplify installation on existing pipework, reducing downtime and labor costs. Designed for a 2‑inch nominal pipe size, this valve integrates seamlessly into standard hydraulic, pneumatic, and water distribution networks, delivering consistent flow control and easy maintenance.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the ERA butterfly valve kit excels in a variety of industrial applications. It is ideal for water treatment facilities, chemical processing plants, wastewater management systems, and any setting where reliable shut‑off and throttling are required. The robust PVC construction tolerates high pressures typical of pump stations and distribution lines, while the EPDM sealing system prevents leakage in aggressive chemical environments, such as acid or alkaline solutions. The ABS handle allows operators to quickly open or close the valve without the need for specialized tools, making it perfect for routine maintenance tasks and emergency shutdowns. Additionally, the zinc‑plated steel hardware ensures that the valve can be installed in outdoor or marine settings without fear of rapid corrosion, extending service life and reducing replacement frequency. Whether used in a municipal water network, an industrial cooling loop, or a process line handling solvents, this valve provides dependable performance and ease of use.

FAQ

What pipe sizes are compatible with this butterfly valve kit?

The kit is designed for a 2‑inch nominal pipe size, which aligns with standard industrial piping dimensions. The included flanged connections conform to ANSI standards, allowing seamless integration with existing pipework without the need for additional adapters or custom fittings.

Can this valve be used with corrosive chemicals?

Yes. The valve body is made from Schedule 80 PVC, which offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents. Combined with EPDM seals that are specifically formulated for chemical compatibility, the valve maintains a reliable seal even in aggressive environments.

Is the valve suitable for high‑pressure applications?

The Schedule 80 PVC construction is rated for pressures up to 300 psi (20 bar) at 73 °F (23 °C), making it appropriate for many high‑pressure water and hydraulic systems. For applications requiring higher pressure ratings, we recommend consulting our engineering team to select a valve model that meets those specifications.

How does the zinc‑plated hardware improve the valve’s lifespan?

Zinc plating provides a protective barrier that resists rust and corrosion, especially in outdoor, marine, or humid environments. This coating extends the service life of the hardware components, reducing the frequency of replacements and ensuring the valve remains functional over many years of operation.

What support is available after purchase?

Customers receive full technical support from our experienced engineering team, including installation guidance, troubleshooting assistance, and access to detailed product documentation. Additionally, the valve comes with a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects, reflecting our confidence in the product’s quality and durability.
