CBT4303 Ship Flanged Butterfly Non-return Valve, PN16 Pressure Rating
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with ISO 9001 certification, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. is proud to present the CBT4303 Ship Flanged Butterfly Non-return Valve. Engineered specifically for demanding marine applications, this valve ensures reliable one-way flow control, preventing backflow and protecting critical shipboard systems. With a robust PN16 pressure rating and a flanged design for secure installation, the CBT4303 is a trusted component for shipbuilders and marine engineers worldwide, combining durability with maintenance-friendly operation.
The CBT4303 valve is designed to offer superior performance and longevity in seawater, ballast, cooling, and fire-fighting lines. Its automatic operation eliminates the need for external power, making it a simple yet vital safeguard for your vessel's piping integrity.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- Marine-Grade Construction: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials suitable for shipboard environments. The standard configuration features a cast iron body with a stainless steel disc, providing excellent resistance to seawater and atmospheric corrosion.
- Automatic, Fail-Safe Operation: Functions as a true non-return valve. The disc opens with forward flow and closes automatically by gravity and reverse flow pressure, ensuring immediate sealing to prevent backflow and water hammer.
- Flanged Connection for Security: The wafer or lug-style flanged design allows for easy installation between pipeline flanges using through-bolts, creating a rigid and leak-proof connection that withstands vessel vibration and movement.
- Low Flow Resistance: The butterfly-style disc design offers a streamlined flow path when open, minimizing pressure drop across the valve and contributing to overall system efficiency.
- Maintenance-Friendly Design: Many models feature a compact, lightweight body. Seat replacement can often be performed without removing the valve body from the pipeline, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Versatile Sealing Options: Standard seats are made from EPDM or NBR, suitable for a wide range of temperatures and media including fresh water, seawater, and air. Alternative elastomers are available for specific chemical or temperature requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
A: For optimal performance and sealing, it is recommended to install the valve in a horizontal pipeline. For vertical installation, the flow must be directed from bottom to top to allow gravity to assist in disc closure. -
Q: What is the difference between a wafer and a lug-style flanged butterfly valve?
A: A wafer-style valve is sandwiched between two pipeline flanges and uses longer bolts. A lug-style valve has threaded inserts (lugs) on the valve body, allowing it to be bolted directly to each flange, which can be beneficial for end-of-line applications or easier maintenance. -
Q: Is the valve suitable for saltwater (seawater) service?
A: Yes, the standard materials (cast iron body, stainless steel disc) offer good corrosion resistance for seawater. For highly aggressive or extended immersion service, discussing material upgrades like full stainless steel construction is advisable. -
Q: How do I determine the correct valve size for my pipeline?
A: The valve size (DN) should match the nominal diameter of your pipeline flanges. It is also important to consider flow rate and pressure drop; our technical team can assist with sizing based on your system parameters. -
Q: Does the valve require regular maintenance?
A: These valves are designed for low maintenance. Periodic visual inspection for external corrosion and checking for proper operation during system tests is recommended. The seat, being a wear part, may need replacement after extended service. -
Q: Are certifications or test reports available with the valve?
A: As an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer, we can provide standard material certificates and factory test reports (e.g., shell and seat pressure tests) upon request. Specific marine society approvals (e.g., ABS, DNV) can be discussed for custom orders. -
Q: What is the lead time for standard sizes?
A: Lead times vary based on size and quantity. Standard sizes (DN50-DN300) often have shorter lead times or may be available from stock. Please inquire for a specific delivery schedule. -
Q: Can the valve be customized for different pressures or temperatures?
A: Absolutely. While PN16 is standard, we can engineer valves for other pressure classes (PN10, PN25, ANSI 150#, etc.) and offer a range of seat materials (Viton, PTFE) for higher temperature or chemical service.
