BUTTERFLY VALVES

Butterfly Valves

The Hytorc butterfly valve is a component designed to save time for the technician working on the hydraulic system by not having to drain the reservoir. The valve is designed for low pressure hydraulic lines up to 230 psi and can be installed into the pump suction line or mounted directly on to the hydraulic reservoir for example. The maximum pressure differential on either side of the valve should not exceed 58 psi when the valve is closed.

Hydraulic Butterfly Valves Features:

Comparing Size: Butterfly Valve versus Ball Valve on 4″ Pipe

For a 4″ pipe, butterfly valves are nearly 77% shorter and 71% lighter than a ball valve of the same diameter.

Ultra-compact profile to minimize space requirement:

In applications where fitting ball valves into the design poses a challenge, butterfly valves provide an effective solution. These valves are significantly shorter and lighter than their counterparts, facilitating easier handling and installation. The advantages of this design become increasingly evident as the nominal diameter rises. This is particularly beneficial in mobile hydraulics where space is a premium. 

Convenient, simplified maintenance:

Thanks to internal clamping bolts, the valve is tightly secured to the reservoir even when even when disconnecting pipes or flexible connectors. This design enables maintenance without draining the reservoir. 

Easy installation:

Shut off valves can be fitted between flanges due to the lateral recesses. Alternatively, heavy suction pipes can be held with additional screws.

No loss of oil volume:

The valve’s inner diameter is larger than the pipe, enabling full flow capacity without compromising on oil volume. This feature is crucial for maintaining efficient and precise control.

Automatic locking mechanism:

The self-engaging lock bar provides a secure and stable connection. The lock bar automatically engages in all switch positions; fully open, closed, or at an intermediate position, and ensures arresting of the valve’s position even without a shift lever.

Limit switch for preventative measures:

Prevent damage to your pump by making sure the valve is open prior to turning on the pump.
