Frequently Asked Questions

These valves combine a rugged carbon steel body with Hytork’s high-torque pneumatic actuation, giving them the strength and responsiveness needed for demanding isolation and control duties across oil & gas, chemical, and process industries.

The lugged body allows for easy installation between flanges and enables one side of the pipeline to be removed without disturbing the other — ideal for maintenance-heavy systems or when downstream isolation is required.

Carbon steel provides excellent mechanical strength and pressure capability, making the valve a solid choice for tougher media, higher temperatures, and industrial environments where durability is essential.

Hytork actuators deliver consistent, balanced torque output with smooth travel across the full stroke, resulting in reliable opening and closing even under fluctuating pressure conditions.

Yes — while primarily used for on/off service, the stable torque profile of the Hytork actuator and the tight shut-off characteristics of the butterfly valve allow for controlled throttling where required.

Depending on the selected actuator and accessories, ATEX-rated packages and SIL-capable assemblies can be configured for hazardous area use or applications with safety integrity level requirements.

Absolutely. Switchboxes, solenoid valves, air filters, positioners, and speed controls can be added using standard ISO mounting patterns without custom brackets.

Carbon steel handles elevated temperatures well, and when combined with appropriate seat and disc materials, the valve maintains sealing performance across a wide operating range.

Maintenance is straightforward — the lugged pattern allows one side of the pipeline to be isolated entirely, making seat or disc replacement easier without removing the entire valve.

Most configurations offer tight shut-off in both flow directions, giving you reliable performance whether the valve is pressurised upstream or downstream.

Cycle times depend on air pressure and accessory setup, but pneumatic systems typically offer rapid operation, making them ideal for applications requiring quick isolation or emergency shut-off.

They’re widely used in power generation, petrochemical plants, manufacturing, steam distribution, water treatment, and general industrial pipelines where ruggedness and high torque are essential.
