Soft Backing Wafer Butterfly Valve – Overview
The soft backing wafer butterfly valve is a compact, lightweight flow control device designed for reliable sealing and quick operation. Featuring a wafer-style body that fits between flanges and a resilient soft seat, it ensures zero-leakage performance for water, air, and compatible industrial media. Its economical design and minimal face-to-face dimensions make it a preferred choice for space-limited installations.
