Valpes Actuated Bronze Disc Wafer Butterfly Valves

Valpes Electric Actuators go beyond standard offerings, allowing for custom builds tailored to specific requirements, offering a level of customisation not typically provided by basic standalone Actuator Manufacturers. The 20W3080 Bronze Disc Actuated Butterfly Valves find frequent use in seawater applications, particularly when the external body of the valve is shielded from direct exposure to corrosive environmental elements. These valves are designed with a notable "Dry Shaft" feature, a thoughtful design choice that prevents the medium from making contact with any materials aside from the disc and seat.

Frequent Interrogation

The bronze disc offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially in water, seawater, and mildly corrosive environments. It provides a smooth sealing surface, ensuring long-lasting, low-torque operation and consistent performance.

Not in its current format however we can offer both options. Get in touch through sales@actuation.co.uk or 0151 547 1221 and we will run through some safety options with you for quoting.

Valpes actuators, made in France, are known for robust design, reliability, and smart control options. They are available in ON/OFF, modulating, and failsafe configurations, with IP67 protection and optional communication protocols such as Modbus RTU.

The wafer pattern design allows the valve to be installed between flanges using bolts to align and secure it. This compact style saves space and weight while maintaining strong sealing integrity.

These valves are ideal for marine, HVAC, water treatment, chemical, and general industrial applications where corrosion resistance and automated flow control are important.

Yes. When equipped with the correct actuator model, they support proportional (modulating) control using 4–20mA or 0–10V signals, enabling accurate flow regulation.

Valpes actuators are available in 24VDC, 110VAC, and 230VAC, offering flexibility for different installation environments.

Valpes actuators are rated IP67, providing protection against dust and temporary immersion, suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.

This combination offers compact design, corrosion-resistant construction, reliable automation, and low maintenance, making it an ideal solution for modern process control and water management systems.
