Never lift the valve by its positioner, limit switch, solenoid valve or piping. Place the hoisting ropes securely according to lift instruction. The butterfly valve or parts thereof may injure persons if dropped.
3 Description General information The SOMAS butterfly valve is used for control shut-off and hand operation. The valve is suitable for liquids, vapours and gases in a wide temperature range. Due to the sophisticated triple-eccentric design and the special shape of the disc a solid stainless steel seat can be used.
