Threaded style lug valves are recommended
for end-of-line or equipment isolation service.
The WKM MA High Performance
Butterfly Valve can handle flow from either
direction in end-of-line service.
To prevent unintentional removal of the seat
retainer with pressure on the valve, it is
recommended that the valve be installed with
the seat retainer against the upstream flange
if possible.

scraping on the disc edge on the pipe I.D. and
damaging the sealing surface.

Class 150 valves - Schedule 40 pipe or equivalent
Class 300 valves - Schedule XS pipe or equivalent
