Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer specializing in industrial valves since 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our JIS F7481 Marine Wafer Butterfly Valve series. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of marine and offshore applications, this valve series is a testament to our commitment to quality, reliability, and performance. With an annual export value reflecting our global reach, we understand the critical need for durable and compliant valves in shipbuilding and marine engineering. Our JIS F7481 valves are designed to provide a robust, leak-tight sealing solution for seawater, ballast, cooling water, and other shipboard piping systems, ensuring operational safety and efficiency.
Product Features & Technical Advantages:
- JIS F7481 Compliance: Manufactured in strict accordance with the Japanese Industrial Standard for marine butterfly valves, ensuring global acceptance and compatibility with international shipbuilding specifications.
- Comprehensive Size Range: Available in a wide spectrum of nominal diameters from DN50 to DN600, catering to various pipeline requirements on vessels and offshore platforms.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Key components like the disc and stem are typically crafted from stainless steel (SS304/SS316) or other corrosion-resistant alloys upon request, providing excellent longevity in harsh seawater environments.
- Reliable Sealing Performance: Features a variety of seat material options including EPDM, NBR, and PTFE. EPDM is suitable for seawater and chemicals, NBR for oil media, and PTFE for higher temperature or more corrosive fluids, ensuring a bubble-tight seal.
- Robust Construction: The valve body is made from high-grade ductile iron or cast iron, offering high strength and pressure resistance. The wafer design provides a compact and lightweight structure, simplifying installation between flanges.
- Versatile Actuation: Can be operated manually via lever or gearbox, or automated with electric or pneumatic actuators (available upon request), facilitating integration into modern control systems.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined disc design and high-quality bearings minimize operational torque, allowing for easy and smooth opening and closing, even in larger sizes.
- Bidirectional Sealing: Designed to seal effectively in both flow directions, enhancing its versatility and reliability in complex piping layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the main advantage of a JIS F7481 valve compared to other standards like API or DIN?
A: The JIS F7481 standard is specifically developed for marine butterfly valves, focusing on dimensions, materials, and testing requirements suitable for shipboard environments. It is widely recognized and specified in Asian shipbuilding and by international classification societies. -
Q: Can this valve be used for freshwater systems on land?
A: Absolutely. While designed for marine use, its robust construction and material options make it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications involving water, air, and other non-aggressive fluids. -
Q: What is the difference between a Wafer and a Lug-style butterfly valve?
A: A wafer valve is installed by bolting it between two pipeline flanges. A lug-style valve has threaded inserts (lugs) allowing it to be bolted directly to each flange, which can support the pipeline weight. Wafer valves are more compact and cost-effective for most through-flange applications. -
Q: Do you provide valves with actuators?
A: Yes. We can supply the valves as manual units or fully assembled with electric or pneumatic actuators tailored to your control requirements. Actuator brands and specifications can be discussed based on your needs. -
Q: What seat material do you recommend for seawater service?
A: For standard seawater applications, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a common and reliable choice due to its excellent resistance to seawater, ozone, and weathering. -
Q: What is the typical delivery time for an order of DN300 valves?
A: Delivery time depends on the order quantity and specific configuration. For standard material configurations, we typically maintain stock for common sizes. Please contact us with your detailed requirements for an accurate lead time estimate. -
Q: Are your valves suitable for high-pressure applications?
A: The standard pressure ratings are 10K and 16K. For higher pressure requirements, we can offer customized designs with reinforced bodies and different sealing arrangements. Please share your specific pressure rating needs. -
Q: Do you provide documentation like test reports and certificates?
A: Yes. We can provide standard factory test reports. For specific certifications required by classification societies (like ABS, BV, DNV, etc.), this can be arranged upon request and may involve additional testing.
