JIS F7480 Marine Butterfly Valve With Wafer Type, PN16 Pressure Rating
Product Spotlights
As a professional valve manufacturer established in 2016, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. specializes in providing high-performance fluid control solutions for demanding industrial and marine applications. Our JIS F7480 Marine Butterfly Valve with Wafer Type, PN16 Pressure Rating is engineered to meet the rigorous standards of the shipbuilding industry, offering reliable shut-off and flow control for seawater, ballast, fuel oil, and other shipboard systems. With an annual export value ranging from US$1 to US$1.5 million, we have built a strong reputation for quality and dependability across global markets including North America, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa.
This valve is designed for durability and ease of maintenance in harsh marine environments. Its compact wafer-type design allows for simple installation between ANSI or JIS standard pipe flanges, saving valuable space and weight onboard vessels—a critical factor in marine engineering.
Key Features and Technical Advantages:
- JIS F7480 Compliance: Manufactured in strict accordance with Japanese Industrial Standard F7480 for marine butterfly valves, ensuring compatibility with international shipbuilding specifications and reliable performance under marine conditions.
- Robust PN16 Pressure Rating: Rated for a nominal pressure of 16 bar, suitable for a wide range of shipboard piping systems including cooling water, bilge, firefighting, and tank services.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Available in a variety of material combinations to combat seawater corrosion. Common configurations include ductile iron body with epoxy coating, stainless steel (CF8/CF8M) components, and corrosion-resistant disc and stem materials.
- Bubble-Tight Shut-off: Features a precision-machined disc and a resilient seat (EPDM, NBR, or PTFE) that ensures excellent sealing performance, minimizing leakage and ensuring system integrity.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined disc design and low-friction seat reduce operating torque, allowing for smooth manual operation with a lever or gearbox, or enabling the use of smaller, more cost-effective electric or pneumatic actuators.
- Bi-Directional Flow Capability: Can be installed for flow in either direction, providing flexibility in piping layout and installation.
- Long Service Life: Designed for minimal maintenance. The seat is often replaceable without removing the valve body from the pipeline, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main advantage of a wafer-type butterfly valve for marine use?
A: The wafer-type design is compact and lightweight, which is crucial for marine applications where space and weight savings are paramount. It installs between two pipe flanges using through-bolts, making installation and removal quicker than lug-type or flanged valves.
Q2: Is this valve suitable for seawater service?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for marine environments. For seawater, we recommend configurations with a corrosion-resistant body material like epoxy-coated ductile iron or stainless steel (CF8M/SS316), along with a stainless steel disc and an EPDM or PTFE seat for optimal longevity.
Q3: Can this valve be operated remotely?
A: Absolutely. While it comes standard with a manual lever or gear operator, it is designed to be easily fitted with electric or pneumatic actuators for remote and automated control, which is common in modern ship systems.
Q4: What classification society approvals do you have?
A: As a manufacturer, we produce valves to meet recognized industry standards like JIS F7480. Specific approvals from classification societies (like ABS, DNV, LR, etc.) are typically project-specific and can be arranged upon request, involving additional testing and documentation.
Q5: What is the delivery lead time for these valves?
A: Lead time depends on the size, material specification, and quantity. Standard configurations in common sizes often have shorter lead times. We recommend contacting our sales team with your specific needs for an accurate delivery schedule.
Q6: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes, we provide a standard warranty against material and manufacturing defects for a specified period under normal service conditions. The exact warranty terms are provided with our commercial quotation.
Q7: Can you provide valves with different pressure ratings, like PN10 or PN25?
A: Yes. While PN16 is a common rating for this JIS standard valve, we can manufacture valves to other pressure classes (PN10, PN25) based on your design requirements. Please specify your needs when inquiring.
Q8: How do I select the right seat material?
A: Seat material selection depends on the fluid media and temperature. EPDM is a versatile, general-purpose elastomer for water. NBR is suitable for oils and fuels. PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance and a wider temperature range. Our technical team can assist you in selecting the optimal seat for your application.
