 Design Features

Disc
Standard disc is high strength with
minimized weight to provide fast
dynamic response. Design minimizes
bearing loads, thus lengthens life of
bearings and shaft. Offered in
a variety of trim materials, with metal or
resilient seating.
Seat
Assures venturi flow by
its configuration. Provides
seating surface for disc
and enables bubble-tight
seal with resilient materials.

Flow Inlet Zone

Venturi design maximizes flow impact on disc.
Provides streamlined flow when valve is fully
open to minimize pressure loss.
