Introduction

MNC Valves LimitedΒ offers double flanged butterfly valves for applications where stronger line mounting, better alignment support, and higher installation stability are important. Double flanged construction is widely selected in larger diameter lines and heavier-duty systems where stronger flange-supported body connection is preferred over wafer or lug style mounting.

Double flanged butterfly valves are commonly used in water transmission lines, treatment plants, industrial utilities, power support systems, and process piping where robust installation and dependable service performance are required.

What is a Double Flanged Butterfly Valve?

AΒ double flanged butterfly valveΒ is a butterfly valve with integral flanges on both sides of the body. These flanges allow direct bolting into the pipeline, giving stronger mounting support and better mechanical stability than more compact between-flange designs.

This design is commonly selected where the buyer needs robust installation, better pipeline alignment, stronger body support, and confidence in larger or heavier service lines.

Design & Construction

Integral Double Flange Body

The body is provided with flanges on both sides, giving direct bolted line mounting and stronger structural support.

Quarter-Turn Operation

The disc rotates 90 degrees for opening and closing, providing fast shut-off and practical flow control.

Robust Installation Support

Double flanged construction is useful in larger pipelines where mounting stability and alignment are important.

Where Double Flanged Butterfly Valve is Best Used

Requirement

Suitability

Strong flange-supported body connection

Excellent

Larger diameter pipelines

Highly suitable

Water transmission and treatment lines

Highly suitable

Industrial utility service

Highly suitable

Most compact and economical installation

Wafer type may be more suitable

End-of-line flexible maintenance arrangement

Lug type may be better

Engineering Considerations

Selection Logic

  • Select double flanged design where stronger body support is important
  • Use this design for larger sizes and critical line stability requirements
  • Choose seat and disc materials according to media, pressure, and temperature
  • Use gear or actuator in larger sizes where manual effort is higher

Practical Notes

  • Double flanged design is often preferred in major water and industrial lines
  • For a more compact and economical alternative, wafer type may still be selected
  • For maintenance-focused end-of-line service, lug type may offer better flexibility
  • Proper flange alignment and bolting remain important for performance
