When your primary water mains or pump stations are compromised, lead times for heavy duty replacements can stretch into weeks, stalling your crews and frustrating your commercial clients. Securing your supply of high grade isolation valves now prevents the logistical nightmare of back-ordered components during the summer heat. Proper planning ensures your systems remain operational and your inspections pass without delay, providing you the relief of a job completed on schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Soval Gear Drive Cast Iron Butterfly Valve offers a significant technical advantage over standard gate valves by providing precise flow throttling and a compact wafer profile that simplifies tight installations. This valve utilizes a stainless steel disc to resist corrosion and chemical wear, extending the service life and reducing long-term maintenance costs compared to nickel-plated alternatives. By choosing a gear-operated mechanism, your installers can manage high pressure flow with minimal physical effort, preventing water hammer and protecting downstream components. Maintaining a stock of these durable valves gives your firm a competitive edge through faster service response and superior system reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASTM A126 Class B Cast Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCF8M Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWafer Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Gear Drive with Handwheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 PSI Non-Shock Working Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 inch through 12 inch nominal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSS SP-67 Compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEpoxy Coated Blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gear-driven wafer valve series is available in standard diameters ranging from 2 inch to 12 inch configurations to suit diverse main line requirements.

The gear operator should be positioned to allow easy handwheel access for technicians, typically with the stem in the upright or horizontal position. Always verify that the flange gaskets are properly aligned and that the disc has sufficient clearance to rotate fully within the pipe diameter. Follow local plumbing codes regarding valve placement and thrust blocking to maintain system safety and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soval","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":52325667438881,"sku":"846-120","price":1799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20\"","offer_id":52325667471649,"sku":"846-200","price":3599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24\"","offer_id":52325667504417,"sku":"846-240","price":7999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\"","offer_id":52325667537185,"sku":"846-040","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\"","offer_id":52325667569953,"sku":"846-060","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/846_66339093-f5c0-476a-b5db-cf21219eac3d.png?v=1770654022","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/gear-drive-cast-iron-butterfly-valve-wafer-connection-stainless-steel-disc","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
