ABZ Valve 400 Series Double Offset High Performance Butterfly Valve

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ABZ™ line of double offset butterfly valves feature the Elite 400 and ABZolute High Performance series valves, designed for superior performance, safety, and longevity. Twin offset stems significantly reduce seat wear by minimizing contact with valve discs, making the ABZ butterfly valve ideal for operations involving particulate fluids, high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.

ABZ ABZolute Series 400 high performance butterfly valves are available in Soft Seat, Fire Safe Seat, and Metal Seat designs to fit product and process parameters. These heavy-duty valves meet ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and API (American Petroleum Institute) standards and are engineered for maximum service life from 2”-24” sizes. The offset seat and disc configuration is proven to extend valve operation.
