JIS F7481 Pneumatic Wafer Butterfly Valve With Double Acting Actuator, DN50 to DN300
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with a strong foundation since 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. specializes in delivering high-performance industrial valves to a global clientele. Our JIS F7481 Pneumatic Wafer Butterfly Valve with Double Acting Actuator exemplifies our commitment to precision engineering and operational reliability. Designed for seamless integration into automated systems, this valve offers efficient flow control for a wide range of demanding applications, providing our partners with a dependable solution that enhances process efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.
This robust valve series combines the simplicity of a wafer-style butterfly valve with the precise control of a pneumatic actuator, creating a compact and powerful package for on/off and modulating duties.
- JIS F7481 Standard Compliance: Manufactured in strict adherence to the Japanese Industrial Standard F7481, ensuring dimensional interchangeability, reliable performance, and compatibility with piping systems following this specification worldwide.
- Pneumatic Double Acting Actuator: The actuator requires air supply to both ports for opening and closing, providing high torque output and reliable positioning. This design is suitable for applications where a fail-safe position is not required or can be managed externally.
- Versatile Size Range: Available from DN50 (2") to DN300 (12"), catering to various pipeline dimensions and flow capacity requirements across different industrial scales.
- Compact Wafer Design: The wafer-style body installs between two pipeline flanges using bolts, saving significant space and weight compared to lug or flanged-end valves, which simplifies installation and reduces overall system cost.
- Superior Sealing Performance: Equipped with high-quality elastomer seats (options like EPDM, NBR) or PTFE, ensuring bubble-tight shut-off and excellent resistance to a variety of media, including water, air, and mild chemicals.
- Durable Construction: The valve body and disc are typically crafted from ductile iron or stainless steel (upon request), offering excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for long service life in challenging environments.
- Low Operating Torque: The 90-degree rotary disc design combined with a balanced disc profile minimizes the torque required for operation, allowing for the use of a smaller, more economical actuator and reducing air consumption.
- Easy Maintenance: Features a simple design with minimal moving parts. The seat is often replaceable, and the actuator can be serviced or replaced without removing the valve body from the pipeline, significantly reducing downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the main difference between a double-acting and a spring-return (single-acting) actuator on this valve?
A: A double-acting actuator uses air pressure to both open and close the valve. A spring-return actuator uses air to move in one direction (e.g., open) and a built-in spring to return to its original position (e.g., closed) when air is released, providing a fail-safe action. The choice depends on your process safety requirements. -
Q: Can this valve be used for throttling or flow control, or is it only for on/off service?
A: Yes, when paired with a positioner and a compatible control signal (e.g., 4-20mA), this pneumatic butterfly valve can perform precise modulating control for throttling applications, not just simple on/off functions. -
Q: Are the flanges included with the wafer valve?
A: No, the wafer valve is designed to be installed between two existing pipeline flanges. The flanges are not part of the valve package and must be supplied separately according to your piping specifications. -
Q: What air preparation units are recommended for the pneumatic actuator?
A: We recommend installing a filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) unit upstream of the actuator. This ensures clean, dry, and properly lubricated air supply, which extends the actuator's lifespan and ensures reliable operation. -
Q: Is the seat material replaceable, and how difficult is it?
A> In most designs, the seat is replaceable. The process typically involves removing the actuator, opening the valve, and extracting the old seat ring before installing a new one. It is a standard maintenance procedure that can be performed without specialized tools in many cases. -
Q: What is the lead time for an order of DN200 valves?
A: Lead times vary based on order quantity and specific configuration (material, seat type). Generally, for standard configurations, we maintain stock for common sizes. Please contact our sales team with your detailed requirements for an accurate delivery schedule. -
Q: Can you provide valves with different end connections, like lug or flanged ends?
A: Yes. While this specific product is a wafer type, Shanghai Zhibang manufactures a full range of butterfly valves with lug and flanged ends. We can discuss your project needs and provide the most suitable connection type. -
Q: Do you offer customization for special coatings or materials for corrosive applications?
A: Absolutely. We offer various material upgrades, including stainless steel bodies/discs, special epoxy coatings, and high-grade seat materials like PTFE or Viton®. Customization is available upon request to meet specific chemical resistance or temperature requirements.
