What Is a Sanitary-Grade Welded Butterfly Valve?
A sanitary-grade welded butterfly valve is a butterfly-style flow-control valve with welded pipe connections. The welded installation creates a fixed connection between the valve and process piping, making it suitable for permanent sanitary piping systems.
The valve can be configured for manual or automated operation depending on the application.

Why Choose a Sanitary-Grade Welded Butterfly Valve?
The welded configuration is designed for applications where a permanent pipe connection is preferred. Compared with removable clamp-style butterfly valves, a welded valve can provide a fixed installation within the process pipeline.
The sanitary-grade stainless steel construction also makes this valve suitable for hygienic environments where cleanable, corrosion-resistant process equipment is required.
