Butterfly Valves. UL listed and labeled. FM approved, 175 psi bronze body, threaded ends, stainless steel disc and stem, two inch maximum pipe size with integral tamper switch, and geared slow-close mechanism.
Butterfly Valves. Features of Construction
Butterfly Valves. Butterfly valves shall be measured on an individual basis on the number of each size valve and box assembly acceptably installed.
Butterfly Valves. Butterfly valves shall be paid for at the unit price per each size butterfly valve and box assembly installed and shall cover the cost for all materials, transportation, labor, equipment, excavation, sheeting and shoring, installation of the butterfly valves including valve box, concrete pad or collar, valve identification disc, valve marker, valve tag, polyethylene encasement, protection of existing utilities, chlorine for disinfection, disinfection, backfilling, backfill material, disposal of unsuitable backfill materials, tamping, testing, densities, utility crossings, dewatering, trench stabilization, clean-up, restoration and all work and materials necessary to install the butterfly valve and place it in service.

Butterfly Valves. 1. Butterfly valves shall be of the tight-closing, rubber seated type, with rubber seat positively locking in place sealing against flow from either direction. Valves shall be hand operated with cast or ductile iron bodies. Valves shall conform to the requirements of AWWA C504, Class 150B, and shall be fusion-bonded epoxy coated per ANSI/AWWA C550.
2. Valves shall have a 2-inch (50 mm) square operating nut and shall be installed with extension stems to extend the operating nut in accordance with the project details. Valves shall open by turning the operating nut counter clockwise unless specified otherwise in the Plans or The Facility Owner’s Standard Specifications.
3. Valve shafts shall be of 304 or 316 stainless steel.
4. Buried butterfly valve end connections shall be installed using restrained mechanical joints.
5. Flanged valves shall be fully faced and drilled in accordance with ANSI Standard B16.1, Class 125.
6. Provide brass identification tag imprinted with “WATER”, valve size, valve type, and direction and number of turns to open. Provide a ¼-inch (8 mm) hole in the brass tag and attach the tag to the end of the locate wire (twist wire around tag). Tag shall be 2-inch (50 mm) diameter and ⅛-inch (6 mm) thick brass with a ¼-inch (8 mm) hole.
Butterfly Valves. Butterfly valves shall be C.I. as per IS 13095-1991 and having C.I. body, epoxy power coated disc, nitrile rubber sheet and all other detail as per requirement. The valves shall be jointed with flanged joints. The specification of the flanges shall be as per I.S.-6392-1971. Valve up to 150 mm diameter shall be either hand lever or cap operated and from 200mm diameter and above shall be gearbox operated.
Butterfly Valves. 1. All butterfly valves shall be of the rubber seated, tight closing type. They shall meet or exceed performance requirements for water application of applicable recognized standards such as AWWA C504. All butterfly valves shall be approved equal to those named. Both valve ends shall be mechanical‐joint, underground, or flanged with 150# flanges inside, per AWWA specifications. Accessories (bolts, glands and gaskets) shall be supplied by the valve manufacturer. All valves must use full AWWA C504 Class 150B valve shaft diameters, and full Class 150B underground‐service operator torque rating throughout entire travel, to provide capability for operation in emergency service. All 12 inch or larger valves shall be installed with mechanical joint sleeves to accommodate valve replacement or removal without cutting pipe.
2. The valve body shall be high‐strength cast iron, ductile‐iron or alloy cast‐iron conforming to recommendations in AWWA 504 Sec. 3. Packing shall be suitable for use in potable‐ water‐service applications and shall not contain asbestos or other constituents identified by the USEPA as being unacceptable for contact with potable water.
3. The rated torque capability of each actuator shall be sufficient to seat, unseat, and rigidly hold in any intermediate position the valve disc it controls under the operating conditions specified. Valves shall be capable of easy closure by one main using a standard valve key, even under emergency conditions. All valves shall open left and be equipped with 2‐inch standard nut.
4. Each valve shall be capable of meeting all testing and leakage requirements in AWWA C504. Upon request, the manufacturer shall furnish certified copies of the reports covering these tests.
5. Valves approved for interior installations are: Xxxxx 150 psi, AWWA 504, FL., gear operated or Coated Butterfly Dresser “450” or approved equal.
a. Valves approved for underground installations are: Xxxxx “Groundhog” 150 psi, MJ gear operated, adj. box or coated butterfly, Dresser “450”, Mueller Link Seal III or approved equal.
Butterfly Valves. Butterfly Valves shall be of the full-bore type and NOT reduced bore type with flanged ends. Valves larger than 200mm shall be fitted with gearboxes.
Butterfly Valves. Butterfly valves may be allowed by the Town for installations greater than 16-inch. Butterfly valves shall conform to AWWA C504 for potable water and to the following requirements:
1. Valve body shall be ductile iron and mechanical joint for below ground locations and flanged short body or long body in underground vaults and above ground locations. End mechanical joints shall conform to ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10 and ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11. End flanges shall conform to ANSI B16.1, Class 125 and ANSI/AWWA C110/21.10.
2. Valves shall be AWWA Class 150B.
3. Rubber seats shall mate with stainless steel or nickel-copper alloy seat surfaces.
4. Valve shafts shall be one piece or the stub-shaft type. Shafts shall be type 304 stainless steel.
5. Valve discs shall be cast iron, ductile iron, or stainless steel.
