Industrial HVAC Butterfly Valves – WRAS Approved & High Performance

FIFFCO HVAC Butterfly Valves

FIFFCO HVAC Butterfly Valves are designed for optimal performance and reliability in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Crafted from high-quality materials, these valves provide precise flow control and excellent sealing capabilities. Their compact and lightweight design ensures easy installation and maintenance, making them ideal for both residential and commercial HVAC applications. FIFFCO Butterfly Valves deliver efficient operation and long-lasting durability, meeting the highest standards of quality and performance.

For efficient flow control in large-bore pipework, FIFFCO’s range of HVAC Butterfly Valves offers the perfect balance of durability and precision. Engineered for quarter-turn operation, these valves are the industry standard for both isolation and flow regulation duties in commercial and industrial HVAC systems across the UK.

Unlike bulky gate valves, our butterfly valves offer a compact, lightweight solution without compromising on pressure handling. Fully compliant with BS EN 593, they ensure a reliable, leak-tight seal, making them an essential component for modern plant rooms and distribution networks.

Technical Specifications & Build Quality

FIFFCO’s butterfly valves are built to withstand the rigours of continuous operation. The body is constructed from robust Cast Iron (GG25) or Ductile Iron (GGG40), providing superior structural integrity against pipeline stress.

  • Lining Material: We utilise high-grade EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) liners. This ensures excellent resistance to hot water, glycol mixtures, and general HVAC fluids, whilst providing a tight shut-off.
  • Connection Types: Available in Wafer Type (to fit between flanges) and Lugged Type (threaded holes for end-of-line service). Compatible with PN10/PN16 flanges.
  • Pressure & Temperature: Rated for PN16 working pressures with an operating temperature range suitable for UK heating and chilled water systems (typically -10°C to +120°C).
  • Actuation: Supplied with a lockable lever handle for smaller sizes or a gear operator for larger diameters to ensure smooth, controlled opening.

Key Applications in Fluid Control

Due to their narrow profile and quick operation, these valves are extensively used where space is at a premium. They are specifically designed for:

  • Chilled Water Systems (CHW): Regulating flow in large cooling circuits and chillers.
  • LTHW & MTHW Heating: Main isolation valves for boiler plant rooms and district heating substations.
  • Potable Water Systems: Our models featuring WRAS approved EPDM liners are fully certified for use in drinking water supplies, ensuring no contamination or taste alteration.
  • Air Handling Units (AHU): Controlling coil flow rates efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main use of a Butterfly Valve in HVAC?

They are primarily used for isolating (on/off) or regulating (throttling) fluid flow in large pipe diameters (typically 50mm and above). Their quarter-turn design allows for quick operation compared to multi-turn gate valves.

Is the EPDM liner WRAS approved?

Yes, specific models in our range feature WRAS Approved EPDM liners. This certification confirms they meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, making them safe for human consumption water lines in the UK.

What is the recommended installation position?

Ideally, butterfly valves should be installed with the shaft in the horizontal position. This prevents debris from settling in the bottom bearing area, which can cause the valve to seize over time.

Conclusion

Optimise your system’s performance with valves that meet the highest British Standards.
