Butterfly Valves Overview

Innovation, Versatility & High Performance Technology

Spears® innovative design departs from traditional liner-seat

type valves to eliminate seat creep, reduce operating torque
and provide positive seal off. Ideally suited for flow control or
throttling, this high performance valve is offered with a full
variety of options for greater application versatility. Standard
valves are produced from PVC or high temperature CPVC in
IPS sizes 1-1/2" through 14". PVC and CPVC True Lug valves
are produced in sizes 1-1/2" through 12".

High Purity Butterfly Valves

High Purity TFM Lined

Features - CPVC
This advanced technology TFM Lined valve is specially designed and produced
for applications requiring high purity and maximum chemical resistance.
Spears® exclusive component-interface seal fully isolates process media to disc
and liner contact only. Custom produced in sizes 2" through 6".

• Direct disc-to-liner seal between ECTFE fluoropolymer disc and TFM liner for
positive shut-off. Specially designed offset disc lifts quickly from sealing
surface to minimize wear and reduce operating torque.
• Special disc-to-liner interface isolates valve components from process
media. Eliminates stem and elastomer backing seal contact with process
fluids. In the unlikely event of seal failure, leakage is expelled externally to
protect process integrity. TFM skirt is integrally formed as part of the liner to
isolate the CPVC body.
• Solid, fully isolated type 316 stainless steel stem is additionally PTFE coated
as a safeguard.
• Lug style, chemical and corrosion resistant CPVC body features integrally
molded actuation mounting pad and provides increased temperature
handling capability to 200°F.
• 316 stainless steel Lug Inserts provide quick single-side valve installation
and easy system add-on.
• Low Profile Submersible Gear Operator Standard on 10" and larger sizes,
utilizes high efficiency Acme screw with PVC or CPVC housing with high
impact polypropylene handwheel and built in position indicator. Available as
on option on smaller valves. Special order gear operators are available for a
variety of applications.
• 150 psi Maximum Internal Pressure rating at 73°F.

Sample Engineering Specification

All thermoplastic Butterfly Valves shall be constructed from CPVC Type IV Cell Classification 23447 with TFM liner and ECTFE disc.
Disc and liner interface shall isolate valve components and elastomeric seals from process media. Valve Stem shall be PTFE coated
type 316 stainless steel. Body shall be lug style with 18-8 stainless steel or type 316 stainless steel lugs. Bolt hole patterns shall
conform to ANSI/ASME B16.5 Class 150. Valve shall be gear operated with PVC or CPVC housing, position indicator, and high impact
polypropylene handwheel. Valve shall be pressure rated at 150 psi for water at 73°F as manufactured by Spears® Manufacturing
Company.

Factory Reconditioning
In the event of damage, this maintenance-free valve can be factory reconditioned in order to maintain optimum serviceability and
assure proper component isolation function. Valve reconditioning is made on an exchange basis with original limited warranty. Contact

Butterfly Valve Dimensions & Operational Information

General Installation Information

Spears® Butterfly Valves are designed for system connections either between two flanges or with single-side (flange one-side only)
connection for dead-end service using lug style valves. Lug Insert Valves require attention to flow direction, True Lug valves may be
installed either direction. The valve handle (or gear operator) is reversible 180° for either left or right side operation. Spears® Butterfly
Valves are designed for installation with user supplied 1/8" full-faced gaskets, hex bolts, nuts and flat washers.
Caution: Spears® Butterfly Valves are designed for use with flanges or flanged equipment having minimum waterway inside diameter
no less than that of Schedule 80 PVC pipe (ASTM D 1785). Use of smaller inside diameter flange connections may result in
obstruction and damage to the valve disc.

retained without removal of valve.
3: Minimum bolt length through 2-flanges, 2-gaskets, 2-flat washers and 1-valve body.

Determining Floor-to-Chainwheel Height

Typical orientation is shown for valve in horizontal piping system installation.
Floor-to-Chainwheel height is determined by subtracting the specified "C"
dimension from the system centerline height (add "C" dimension if used with
top-mount orientation). In vertical piping system installations, the Floor-to-
Chainwheel height is the same as that for the centerline location of the valve in
the system.

How to Order Chain

Required chain length is based on chain drop at 3 ft. from floor.
Floor-to-Chainwheel Height 7' 8' 9' 10' 11' 12' 13' 14' 15'
