Marine Butterfly Valve With Actuator Mounting Pad, Suitable for Fuel Oil Transfer Service
Product Spotlights
As a professional manufacturer with a strong commitment to quality and reliability, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. proudly presents our specialized Marine Butterfly Valve with Actuator Mounting Pad. Engineered specifically for demanding marine applications, this valve is a robust solution for fuel oil transfer services, ensuring safe, efficient, and leak-proof operation in critical shipboard piping systems. Our years of experience since 2016, backed by ISO9001 certified processes, are embedded in every valve we produce, offering global clients from North America to Southeast Asia a dependable component for their maritime fleets. This product combines durability with smart design, featuring a pre-configured mounting pad that simplifies actuator integration, reducing installation time and costs for shipbuilders and repair yards.
Core Design & Technical Advantages:
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The valve body is typically crafted from ductile iron with a high-grade epoxy coating, or optional materials like stainless steel and bronze, providing exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion, a critical factor for marine longevity.
- Integrated Actuator Compatibility: Equipped with a standardized ISO 5211 mounting pad, this valve allows for seamless attachment of pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators. This design facilitates easy automation, enabling remote or centralized control of fuel oil lines.
- Superior Sealing for Fuel Service: The valve features a precision-machined disc and a resilient seat made from materials like EPDM or PTFE, ensuring a bubble-tight seal against viscous fuels like marine diesel oil (MDO) or heavy fuel oil (HFO), preventing leaks and environmental hazards.
- Bi-Directional Flow Shut-off: Engineered to provide reliable shut-off in both flow directions, enhancing safety and operational flexibility in complex marine piping layouts.
- Low Torque Operation: The streamlined disc design minimizes operating torque, which extends the service life of actuators and reduces the manual effort required for lever-operated versions.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: Compared to gate or globe valves, the butterfly design offers a significant space and weight saving, a crucial advantage in the confined spaces of engine rooms and pump rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: Is this butterfly valve suitable for heavy fuel oil (HFO) service?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for fuel oil transfer. The selection of appropriate seat material, such as PTFE, ensures compatibility with HFO's higher temperature and viscosity. -
Q: What actuator brands are compatible with the mounting pad?
A: The valve features a standard ISO 5211 mounting pad, which is universally compatible with actuators from major global manufacturers (e.g., AUMA, Rotork, Bernard, etc.). The specific pad size (F03, F05, etc.) corresponds to the valve size and required torque. -
Q: Do you provide the complete valve-actuator assembly?
A: We primarily supply the valve with the mounting pad. However, we can source and assemble compatible pneumatic or electric actuators upon request, providing a ready-to-install package. -
Q: What certifications do the valves have for marine use?
A> Our manufacturing facility is ISO9001 certified. For specific marine class approvals (e.g., ABS, DNV, LR, BV), these can be arranged upon request and are subject to project specifications and additional testing. -
Q: What is the lead time for standard sizes?
A> For standard sizes and materials, typical lead time is 15-30 days after order confirmation. This can vary based on order quantity and specific configuration. -
Q: How do I select the right seat material?
A> The choice depends on the fuel type and temperature. EPDM is standard for most diesel oils. NBR offers good oil resistance, while PTFE is recommended for higher temperature applications or more aggressive fuels. Our technical team can assist you in selection. -
Q: Can the valve be used in other marine applications besides fuel oil?
A> Absolutely. While optimized for fuel, this corrosion-resistant butterfly valve is also suitable for seawater cooling, ballast, bilge, and other general marine service lines with proper material selection. -
Q: What is your main market and export experience?
A> We serve a global clientele, with main markets spanning North and South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Our annual export volume demonstrates our capability and reliability in international marine supply.
