Application
Get control with the BradfordT B5102 series sanitary butterfly valve. The
5102 series is a patented clamp butterfly valve. This clamp valve is an
incredible 1-3/8" wide on all sizes. The valve will fit into " of
line space. The grooved clamp housing connects directly to clamp style fittings.
Easy assembly by removing the wing nuts and using a hex key for the handle to
secure and seal the housing onto your lines. If your space is limited, or you
want a less expensive way to control flow, then the clamp butterfly valve is for
you. Various elastomers and accessories make this a highly versatile valve.
Working Principle
The B5102 is actuated manually with a handle or remotely by a pneumatic or
electric actuator. The control capabilities of a butterfly valve can also be
significantly improved by coupling it with an operator and electronic control
package. The valve is fully open when the handle is parallel to the pipeline and
closed when the handle is perpendicular.
Pneumatic actuators are available in three styles:
- air to open - spring to close (ATO/STC)
- air to close - spring to open (ATC/STO)
- double acting (ATO/ATC)
