A quarter turn, and the EPDM seat is the pressure boundary — not the body. That is the part to specify on the order, not just the part to know about.

Why this variant

  • Tapped lug body — each flange bolts on separately, so it can sit at the end of a line.
  • 1½″–6″ (DN40–DN150) — seven sizes.
  • 150 PSI at −30 °C to 120 °C — the limit belongs to the EPDM seat, not the iron.
  • Cast iron body, CF8 disc, SS410 shaft, NBR O-ring.
  • Tapped lug, ANSI 150# drilling ends, built to API 609, tested to API 598.
  • Singapore & Malaysia warehouse stock — out within 24 hours.

Construction

Cast Iron Lug Type Butterfly Valve

A quarter turn. The disc rotates in the flow; it never leaves it.

A round disc on a shaft across the bore. A quarter turn on the lever takes the disc from parallel with the flow to square across it, pressing its rim into the EPDM liner. That liner is what seals — the seat is the pressure boundary, not the body. The body only holds the liner in place.

Because the disc stays in the flow even when fully open, a butterfly valve always restricts a little — unlike a gate valve, which gives a straight bore. What you get in exchange is far shorter, far lighter and far cheaper at large bore, and a quarter-turn action.

Lug: tapped holes, each flange bolts on separately

That is what lets a lug valve sit at the end of a line and hold pressure while the downstream pipe is taken off. The Cast iron wafer cannot.

⚠ The seat is the part to specify

EPDM suits water, hot water and air, and is poor with mineral oil. If your fluid needs something else, say so before you order — a different liner is a specification, not a modification.

Wafer and lug share one parts list

We checked the two published lists against each other and they are identical part for part and material for material. The bodies differ; nothing inside them does.

The shaft never touches the fluid path directly

It drives the disc through an SS304 pin and is sealed by the NBR O-ring, running in polymer bushings that take the side load.

The lever is ductile iron, not grey

It bends rather than snapping if someone puts a bar on it — though the right answer on the larger sizes is a gearbox, since torque rises sharply through the last part of the stroke.

The top flange takes a gearbox or actuator

It is the same on both body styles. Specify a gearbox once and it fits either.

The blue liner is the seat

It is visible from both faces of the valve. That is the part that seals, and the part that has to suit your fluid.

The notched locking plate on the lever

You can hold the disc part open for coarse regulation, but a butterfly valve is not a precision throttling valve — most of the flow change happens in the last 30 degrees.

The four-hole top flange

That is the gearbox or actuator interface, and it is the same size on wafer and lug.

⚠ There are two pressure figures, and both are published

The features box says 150 PSI; the Main Technical Parameter table gives a nominal pressure of 1.6 MPa. We print both as they stand and advise designing to the lower one unless we confirm with the factory.

The temperature is set by the seat, not the body

120 °C is the EPDM limit. The iron casting goes well beyond it; the liner does not.

API 609 on face-to-face

It means the body length follows the standard, so a replacement from another maker in the same body style drops into the same gap.

⚠ Leave clearance for the disc, not just the body

The C column is how far the disc protrudes past the body face when open. On the smaller sizes it comes out past the body. A valve that fits in the run can still fail to open.

⚠ Take the bolt circle from the flange standard, not the D1 column

D1 is a body diameter to check for clearance. For ANSI 150 at these sizes the bolt circles are 98.4 · 120.7 · 139.7 · 152.4 · 190.5 · 215.9 and 241.3 mm.

Tapped hole counts follow ASME B16.5

4 threaded holes per side up to 3″, and 8 from 4″ upward, as the catalogue prints them.

The top flange is identical on both body styles

4-7 on ø50 up to 3″, 4-9 on ø70 from 4″ up. Specify a gearbox once and it fits either body.


Drawing

Sectional drawing — callouts 1 to 8

Sectional drawing — Cast Iron Lug Type Butterfly Valve

Eight callouts, and eight items in the parts list below — the two match one for one. The dimension letters are the column headings in the size table above: H height, C disc protrusion, L0 lever length, øD1 body diameter, n-ød1 the bolt pattern, and K, E, g, h, z-ød on the top flange. The diagonal square head detail shows the stem-to-gearbox interface.

Read the drawing with the tables

Callout numbers are the item numbers in the parts list below, and the dimension letters are the column headings in the size table above. Nothing on the drawing is named only there.

The section shows why the seat is what seals

The disc presses into the liner, and the liner wraps the bore. The iron body never touches the fluid on the sealing path.

For spares, not for fabrication

This is a catalogue section, not a manufacturing drawing: no tolerances and no material callouts. Order spares by the item numbers in the parts list.

The item numbers are the manufacturer’s

They match the callouts on the sectional drawing above, so a spares order matches the section rather than a description.

The seat and the O-ring are the wear parts

Everything else is a casting, the shaft or a fastener. The EPDM seat is the first part to ask about, and the only one that decides fluid compatibility.

The disc is CF8, cast 304 stainless

It is the only stainless part in the fluid path besides the shaft, and it takes the flow velocity whenever the valve sits part open.

Test pressure

Test pressure and temperature

Factory proof tests. Not a working pressure. Do not design to these figures.

ItemValue
Nominal pressure1.6 MPa
Shell test2.4 MPa
Sealing test1.76 MPa
Working temperature−30 °C to 120 °C
MediumGeneral oil, gas and water

⚠ Nominal pressure is not the working pressure in the features box

This table gives a nominal 1.6 MPa; the catalogue features box says 150 PSI. Both are the factory’s. Design to the lower one unless we confirm otherwise.

Shell proves the body, sealing proves the seat

Both are factory proof tests. Neither is a figure to work to.

The temperature belongs to the seat

120 °C is the EPDM limit, not the iron’s. If your duty goes past it, the liner is what changes — and that is a specification, not a modification.


Choosing

Not sure this is the right one?

Body style first, then material, then the seat.

Choose this one when…

  • Your pipework matches Tapped lug, ANSI 150# drilling.
  • The valve may have to sit at the end of a line, or one side may need removing while the other is live.
  • The fluid suits an EPDM seat — water, hot water, air. Not mineral oil.
  • Pressure is within 150 PSI and temperature within −30 °C to 120 °C.
  • A Cast iron body suits the duty.

Choose something else when…

  • You do not need end-of-line capability and want the lighter body → the Cast iron wafer.
  • You need the other body material → the Ductile iron lug.
  • You need an unobstructed straight bore when fully open → gate valves.
  • You need tight shutoff at a higher pressure → ball valves.
  • You need to throttle with precision → globe valves. A butterfly valve regulates coarsely.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

What is the Cast Iron Lug Type Butterfly Valve?

A quarter-turn Lug type butterfly valve in 1½″–6″ (DN40–DN150) with Tapped lug, ANSI 150# drilling ends, a Cast iron body, a CF8 disc and an EPDM seat. Rated 150 PSI at −30 °C to 120 °C, built to API 609 and tested to API 598.

Can it be used at the end of a line?

Yes. The holes are tapped, so each flange bolts on separately and the valve can sit at the end of a line, holding pressure while the downstream pipe is taken off.

Which fluids suit the seat?

The seat is EPDM: it suits water, hot water and air, and is poor with mineral oil. The seat is the pressure boundary, so fluid compatibility is decided by the liner, not by the iron body. Tell us the fluid when you ask for a price and we will confirm the liner.

Why are there two pressure figures?

Because the catalogue prints two. The features box says 150 PSI; the Main Technical Parameter table gives a nominal pressure of 1.6 MPa. We print both as they stand. Design to the lower one unless we confirm with the factory.

Can it throttle?

Coarsely, yes — the lever has a notched locking plate. But most of the flow change happens in the last 30 degrees of the stroke, so it is not a precision throttling valve, and holding the disc slightly open puts full flow velocity across its rim. For real regulation use a globe valve.

How much room does it need?

Very little length — that is the butterfly valve advantage. What gets missed is disc protrusion: the C column in the dimension table is how far the disc comes past the body face when open. On the smaller sizes it protrudes. A valve that fits in the run can still fail to open.

Can a gearbox or actuator be fitted?

Yes. The top flange is published — 4-7 on ø50 up to 3″, 4-9 on ø70 from 4″ — with a diagonal square head on the stem. It is the same on wafer and lug bodies, so one gearbox specification fits both.

How many bolts does it take?

Take that from the flange standard, not from this table. ASME B16.5 Class 150 uses 4 bolts up to 3″ and 8 from NPS 4 upward. The D1 column in the dimension table is a body diameter to check for clearance, not a bolt circle.

What are the test pressures?

Shell and sealing tests are in the test-pressure table on this page, as printed. Both are factory proof tests, not working pressures — do not design to them.
