What Is a Welded Butterfly Valve?
A Welded Butterfly Valve uses a welded connection to integrate the valve directly with the sanitary piping system.
The butterfly disc rotates around its shaft to control or shut off fluid flow. The welded design provides a fixed connection and is suitable for permanent sanitary piping installations.

Why Choose the Welded Butterfly Valve?
The primary advantage of this valve is its permanent welded connection. It can be integrated directly into a sanitary pipeline, making it suitable for fixed process installations.
Compared with quick-install butterfly valves, the welded version is intended for applications where the valve does not need to be frequently removed from the pipeline.
For automated systems, a pneumatic actuator can also be selected where applicable.
