The uniqueness of the Series 7700 Gruvlok Butterfly Valve
begins with the spherical bore of the disc seat area. This
facilitates a constant DISC-TO-SEAT loading that maintains a
leak tight stem seal regardless of disc position. The stem sealing
force is constant through the full disc cycle and operating
torques are kept low which increases valve life. The design
provides a bubble tight seal from full vacuum to 300 psi when
the valve is closed. The valve is rated for dead-end service to a
full pressure rating of 300 psi. Manufactured without silicone
Series 7700 available upon special request.
The stem-to-disc connection provides zero backlash. The high
strength, corrosion resistant, stainless steel stems are blow-out
proof. Each stem is fitted with a secondary seal that also
provides a lifetime lubrication chamber.
The Series 7700 valve is designed with the contractor in mind.
The valve body is a rugged one-piece casting with an integral
mounting base for gear operator or handle actuation, while
providing room for a minimum of 2" of pipe insulation. The
valve is designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the
requirements of MSS SP-67.
The lever handle bronze body butterfly valve is designed for use with grooved copper tubing (CTS), fittings and couplings. This valve features a 10 position lever handle, bronze body and EPDM rubber encapsulated disc. Both bronze valve body and the EPDM rubber disc obtained certification to ANSI/NSF 61 for use in potable water systems and is rated to 300 PSI.
