5″ Pneumatic & Hydraulic Operated ASA/ANSI Wet-R-Dri Butterfly Valve
The Betts Wet-R-Dri Valve is a lightweight and compact quarter turn in-line stop valve. This easily maintained and versatile valve is widely used for liquid, gaseous or dry products and is available in a variety of sizes. This valve comes with an actuator that opens and closes the valve and provides a visual indicator that clearly shows the orientation of the valve disc. The actuator is available in various styles:
- Air-open/air-close ASA (model “37”)
- Air-open/spring-close ASA (model “39”)
- Spring-open/air-close ASA (model “39” with suffix “017”)
- Hydraulic-open/spring-closed ASA (model “38”)
- Spring-open/hydraulic close ASA (model “38” with suffix “017”)
The body is offered in aluminum, cast iron or stainless-lined with coatings available for increased chemical resistance and extended service life. The actuator is e-coated aluminum with a robust fiberglass cylinder. The disc seal and shaft O-rings are available in a variety of materials to optimize chemical resistance and service temperature range. Valve mounts between 125# or 150# ASA/ANSI flanges.
- Air cylinder max pressure = 150 psig (10 bar)
- Hydraulic cylinder max pressure = 3,000 psig (207 bar)
- Actuator max temperature = 240°F (116ºC)
