To specify the right actuator and process your free issue enquiry efficiently, please have the following information ready. Items marked as essential are required for actuator sizing.

Ghibson valve series and model designation and nominal size (e.g. BLKI DN200, BVHD DN150, TT DN100, N501S 6") — confirms valve type, pressure class, and actuator interface
Maximum operating pressure (bar or psi) — required for actuator torque calculation
Maximum differential pressure across the valve at operation
Required fail-safe position — fail-open, fail-closed, or stay-put (double-acting)
Control signal or supply type — instrument air pressure (bar), electrical voltage, or analogue signal (4–20 mA)
Process medium and operating temperature — essential for TT series chemical duty, HD series at elevated temperatures, and any application above 120°C or in vacuum service
Hazardous area classification — Zone, category, and gas group if ATEX-certified actuator or accessories are required

Which Ghibson Valves Can We Actuate?

KI Series (BVKI Wafer / BLKI Lug / BFKI Double Flange) — Soft Seated Butterfly Valve

Ghibson's most widely specified soft-seated butterfly valve, designed for the full range of industrial and marine applications including water treatment, HVAC, chemical service, seawater, pulp and paper, power plant cooling, and vacuum service.

KA Series (BVKA Wafer / BLKA Lug) — Higher Pressure Soft Seated Butterfly Valve

Ghibson's industrial and marine soft-seated butterfly valve rated for higher working pressures than the KI series.

KX Series (BVKX Wafer / BLKX Lug) — High Pressure Compact Soft Seated Butterfly Valve

Ghibson's highest-pressure soft-seated butterfly valve in the resilient seat range, designed specifically for demanding marine, petrochemical, and vacuum service applications.

PD Series (BVPD Wafer / BLPD Lug) — Low Pressure Soft Seated Butterfly Valve for Powder and Bulk Service

Ghibson's soft-seated butterfly valve designed specifically for low-pressure service including powder conveyance, dry bulk handling, and fluid systems where a low-profile, economical valve is required.

TT Series — PTFE Seated Butterfly Valve for Chemical and Heavy Duty Service

Ghibson's PTFE-seated butterfly valve, engineered for aggressive chemical, pharmaceutical, and heavy-duty industrial applications requiring resistance to corrosive media. The PTFE lining extends to envelop the shaft, and the double packing mechanism — an FEP-coated FKM O-ring combined with a PTFE C-ring — provides zero leakage along the shaft.

HD Series (BVHD Wafer / BLHD Lug) — High Performance Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve

Ghibson's high-performance butterfly valve, designed for demanding applications where critical sealing performance, elevated pressures, high cycle life, and fire-safe integrity are required.

N500S / N501S Series — Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve (ANSI/North American)

Ghibson's ANSI-rated resilient seated butterfly valve range for water, utilities, HVAC, and general industrial service to North American flange standards. Available from 1½" to 24" (DN 40 to DN 600) in wafer (N500S) and lug (N501S) body styles. Pressure rating 250 psi (1½"–20") and 150 psi (24"), conforming to ANSI B16.1 and ANSI B16.5 flange standards. NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 certified for potable water service.
