The Grooved End Butterfly Valves feature a Ductile Iron Epoxy/Rilsan coated Single Piece body with the secure grooved coupling system providing a simple and effective connection. This enables for easy maintenance and installation at desired locations within the pipeline without the need for flange adaptors and welding. This TTV Butterfly Valve is suitable for both on and off, throttling and end of service applications. A streamlined EPDM Encapsulated disc provides perfect bi-directional bubble-tight sealing with a much lower pressure drop compared to other butterfly valves on the market. Low operational torque and friction throughout the cycle of the valve reduce the costs of gear, pneumatic and electric actuation extending the life of the self-cleaning seal.

Key features and benefits of the TTV Grooved End Butterfly Valves

Key Features

The dry shaft design offers high strength and reliability with direct mount capabilities for actuation assemblies whilst ensuring the media is again isolated from both the shaft and the body of the butterfly valve.

Key Features

The Grooved End Butterfly Valve offers a possible adaption to every type of pipeline with fast and easy mounting and dismounting. Typical applications include Fire Protection, Process Lines, Hot Water Lines, Potable Water/Wastewater, HVAC & Chemical Cleaning.

Key Features

Low operational torque reduces the costs of actuation with low friction contact extending the life of the self cleaning seal. Replaceable seals offer flexibility and cost effective solutions without the cost of a complete new valve for future maintenance requirements.

Grooved End Butterfly Valves

A grooved end butterfly valve is a type of industrial valve used to regulate the flow of fluids through a pipeline. It is called grooved because the valve body has grooves or notches that allow the valve to be securely connected to the pipeline using a coupling or clamp. This type of valve is commonly used in fire protection systems, HVAC systems, and other applications where quick and reliable installation and maintenance is important.

The circular shaped disk turns about a diametrical axis within the cylindrical bore of the valve body and a quarter turn rotation of the disk opens or closes the valve. The basic simplicity of the design provides a compact and relatively low weight valve having few component parts. The quarter turn action offers quick opening or closing with ease of operation and the valve has good flow control characteristics. In the wide open position, the only obstruction to flow is that due to the thickness of the disk, so the pressure drop across the valve is small. During the closing movement, the rate of cut-off of the flow diminishes as the disk moves towards the closed position, making the valve well suited for flow regulation purposes. An extensive range of synthetic elastomers provide Positive shut-off with repeatability of performance. Actuation Valve & Control is a world-class manufacturer of actuated butterfly valves, with in house engineering and testing. We offer Direct Mounted Assemblies as well custom build bracket/shaft arrangements to ensure any application can be met.

Industries

A grooved end butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve with grooved connections on either end, designed for fast and secure installation into grooved piping systems without welding or flanges.

They are widely used in HVAC, fire protection, and water distribution systems due to their quick assembly and disassembly features.

Grooved ends fit into mechanical couplings that clamp around the valve and pipe, forming a tight seal and allowing easy access for maintenance or replacement.

They reduce installation time, eliminate the need for welding or flanges, and provide flexibility for alignment and future system modifications.

Most are rated for moderate pressure applications, typically up to 300 PSI, but always check the manufacturer’s specifications for exact pressure ratings.

Yes, butterfly valves are designed for both on/off and flow regulation duties, although accuracy in throttling can vary depending on the disc and seat design.

Bodies are typically made from ductile iron or stainless steel, while discs and seats vary depending on media and pressure—common materials include EPDM, NBR, and stainless steel.

Yes, provided they are coated or made with corrosion-resistant materials to withstand environmental exposure.

Absolutely. They can be fitted with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators using a suitable ISO mounting pad.

They require minimal maintenance—regular inspection of the disc, seat, and coupling for wear or damage is typically sufficient.

Many are UL/FM approved and used in fire protection systems, but it's important to verify certifications depending on the application.

Yes, as long as the valve materials (especially seats and coatings) are certified to relevant potable water standards like WRAS or NSF.
