Metal Gear Operated Butterfly Valves

Helping Choose A Metal Gear Operated Valve

The focus of a valve is to regulate flow of gas or fluid throughout a system. There are many valves out there and a number of variables help to determine the right one for your application or industry. Everything from pressure endurance to sizing can impact the success of a valve. Gear-operation is an easy way to open and close the valves, however depending on the application in use this task can become tedious over time. To ensure that you do not grow tired of this type of valve, make sure that your application is compatible with this type of manual system. If you are wondering if gear-operated valves are right for your application, feel free to contact us.

The gear-operated wheel system involves operating a wheel by hand to move the disc. This method is commonly used in butterfly valves but can be found in other types as well. Typically, gear-operated valves are used for manual operation. The valves that we offer can be used in a wide variety of industries and it is important to know the material that will work best for your application.
