Butterfly Valve 565: robust and lightweight
Plastic Butterfly Valves have already proven to outperform metal valves in almost every way, thanks to a higher resistance against corrosion and a lighter weight. Now, a new generation has arrived to beat metal in cost-effectiveness, too.
The new Butterfly Valve 565 is the best choice for optimising piping systems built for water applications and a wide range of other applications. This new generation comes at a significantly lower initial cost, and will save even more thanks to its lower static weight, requiring less energy for both operation and transportation. Installing the Butterfly Valve 565 is quick and easy, but thanks to its extremely high durability, it will be almost maintenance-free during its long service life.
Direct replacement
The Butterfly Valve 565 comes in the same installation length as metal solutions. The exchange does not require any additional work on the pipes or new designs. This reduces the effort of both planning and installation, also thanks to a lighter weight.
60% lighter
Thanks to its low weight, a single person can lift and install the Butterfly Valve 565 in just a few minutes. This also facilitates planning, since the low weight significantly reduces the need for costly transportation and personnel.
Highly reliable
The Butterf y Valve 565 is built to last. High-performance thermoplastics protect it from abrasion and corrosion. This guarantees a longer system lifetime, even under harsh conditions, such as water hammers. The results are a reduction of both maintenance costs and production stops. Also in cooling applications, the plastic solution has a clear advantage; the condensation is much lower.
Reduced costs
With the initial cost being comparable to metal solutions, the Butterfly Valve 565 outperforms its metal counterparts in the long run, reducing maintenance costs, thanks to its superior materials and design.
Ready for digitisation
With its standard interface, the Butterfly Valve 565 can be upgraded with various modules, such as the smart actuator. This allows for automation and digitisation of your systems, making them even more cost-effective and efficient.
Swiss quality
The Butterfly Valve 565 is produced by GF Piping Systems in Seewis (Grisons), Switzerland. High-quality valves have been produced here for over half a century. They combine technological innovation with the highest standards of material selection, manufacturing and quality testing for safety, durability and reliability.
How plastic wins against corrosion and gravity
More than half a century ago, GF Piping Systems decided to switch from metal to plastic. This was both a revolutionary and a forward-looking step, as the disadvantages of metal have proven to be the advantages of plastic. The Butterfly Valve 565 is the newest product of this innovation process, outperforming its metal counterparts in many ways.
Superior material meets modular design
When something is built to last, it is all the more important that it can be flexibly adapted to changing requirements. For high-quality plastic materials optimised for durability, modular design is the perfect match. The standard interface also ensures that the Butterfly Valve 565 stays upgradeable during its long lifespan, fit for the ever-evolving future.
