Compact & Efficient
Butterfly Valve Solutions
Vcore butterfly valves provide efficient shut-off, flow isolation, and throttling service for HVAC, oil & gas, power generation, water treatment, and chemical processing. Compact structure, lightweight design, and quarter-turn operation for space-saving and reliable performance.
Core Features & Advantages
Compact & Lightweight
Lighter and takes up less space than globe or gate valves, making them ideal for large-diameter pipelines with reduced pipeline stress.
Quarter-Turn Operation
A simple 90° turn of the handle or actuator achieves quick shut-off and control, saving both time and energy.
Material Options
Available in cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, alloys, with soft or metal seats, to handle different media and environments.
High-Performance Design
Double-offset and triple-offset butterfly valves ensure zero leakage under high pressure and temperature.
Cost-Effective Solution
Compared with globe or ball valves, butterfly valves are more economical for large-diameter and low-pressure pipelines.
