Butterfly Valves - 12 Position with stainless steel handles (Various Sizes)

Material: 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel options available 
Seat Material: Silicone

12-position butterfly valves are a specific type of quarter-turn valve designed for precise flow regulation. Unlike traditional butterfly valves that may offer a more limited range of control, the 12-position feature provides users with the ability to finely adjust the valve opening, enabling more accurate control over fluid flow. This precise regulation is crucial in applications where the flow rate needs to be adjusted to specific levels rather than merely having a fully open or fully closed state.

Butterfly valves, including those with 12 positions, operate on the principle of rotating a disc or "butterfly" that is perpendicular to the flow in its closed position and parallel in its fully open position. This allows for quick and easy modulation of flow with minimal effort. The 12-position handle typically engages at predetermined stops within a 90-degree turn, allowing the operator to accurately set the valve to the desired openness and achieve the required flow rate.

These valves are commonly used in a variety of applications, including water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage manufacturing, and HVAC systems, due to their efficient design and ease of operation. The precise control offered by the 12-position butterfly valve is particularly beneficial in systems where flow rates need to be adjusted frequently or maintained at a specific level for optimal process performance.
