Centric butterfly valve with loose liner – wafer, lug and U-section with flanges
Our range of loose liner butterfly valves comprises wafer, lug and U-section butterfly valves in DN25-1600 with a wide selection of disc and liner materials. Actuations available are lever, gearbox, electrical or pneumatic actuators.
The replaceable liner has a very robust construction. Its convex form and integrated lip sealings in the shaft passage ensure a tight connection with the shaft. Moreover, the special shape ensures a unique grip to the body preventing any relative liner displacement during operation. The integrated gasket faces enable easy installation between flanges.

Where are butterfly valves with loose liner used?
Loose liner butterfly valves are typically a cost-effective solution for applications above ground where replacement and maintenance is relatively easy. The liner is replaceable without a full replacement of the valve and the design gives more options for different liner materials.
The centric butterfly valve with loose liner can be used for a wide range of applications within water and wastewater treatment as well as for industrial water applications.
- Water: water treatment, water distribution, pumping installation, water transmission and HVAC
- Wastewater treatment: aeration systems, clean sewage water, filter installations, pumping installations and membrane installations
- Industrial water: cooling water and process water
