Butterfly valve

Butterfly valves from Tufline feature an efficient valve lining that protects the body, disc, shaft, and all sealing components. Because the PFA lining is less porous than PTFE linings, it provides better corrosion resistance. It also facilitates better in-line sealing. In addition, the valves' continuous disc/shaft lining and body lining extend well beyond the secondary seal area. Tufline Valves
