VALVE DESIGN FEATURES

Flo-Tites high performance butterfly was introduced in 1987.

The MAX-SEAL valve is the

result of years of experience in the design and manufacture of ball and butterfly valves. All
valves are leak tested per MSS-SP61 standards, and tagged per MSS-SP25 & API 609B
specifications.Testing per API 598 can be provided as an option.
11) Blow-out Proof Shaft, 174Ph stainless steel stem provides
excellent strength, alignment and
rigid support to disc.

1) Flow Way Direction, Slot on top

stem indicates positive disc position
2) Mounting Top Flange, Meets
ISO5211 pattern providing low cost
Near Direct Mount actuation
capability.

12) Easy-Access Parking Gland,

Provides means for packing adjustment even when Direct-mount
actuation and insulation are utilized.

3) Extra Long Neck, Provides

path for heat dissipation and
allows space for insulation.
4) Stem Seal, Self-lubricating
PTFE V-rings prevent
leakage to atmosphere.

13) Top Stem Bearings, Top

RPTFE/SS self-lubricating bearings provide excellent stem support
and shaft alignment.

5) O-Ring, Serves as first

line of defense for stem
leakage

14) O-Ring, Extra Protection for

leakage through body and seat
retainer

6) Retainer Cover, Maintains

seat integrity prior to installation.
Interchangeable with any seat
option. Standard surface finish
is 125 to 200 AARH. Compatible
with both standard and spiralwound gasket designs.

15) Soft Seat, One-piece solid

RPTFE static and dynamic seat
design seals at both high and low
pressures.
16) Wedge Pins, Provide positive
mechanical attachment of disc to
shaft.
17) Bottom Stem Bearings,
Bottom RPTFE/SS self-lubricating
bearings provide excellent stem
support and shaft alignment.

7) Retainer Fasteners, SS set

screws provide ease of seat
replacement.
8) Over Travel Stop, Integrally cased
into body, prevents disc from rotating
in wrong quadrant and damaging seat

18) Shaft Retainer, Provides

positive stem retention.

9) Anti-Static Grounding, provided by stem

ball at the very end of the stem shaft.
10) Bottom Flange Cover, Equalizes
pressure under shaft, eliminating
piston effect at higher pressure.

19) Bottom Packing, The lower

shaft utilizes seal in the body to
prevent external leakage and
simplify valve maintenance.

Structural Characteristics of the MAX-SEAL High

Performance Butterfly Valve Seat Design

Soft Seat High Performance Butterfly Valve

Seat material Maximum Working Temperature

PTFE-SEAT 190C (375F)
TFM-SEAT 246C (475F)
RPTFE-SEAT 230C (446F) UHMWPE-SEAT 82C (180F)
PEEK-SEAT 270C (529F)

Fire-Safe Seat High Performance Butterfly Valve

Eccentric Double Offset Design Seating

The double offset shaft/disc design ensures bi-directional
sealing throughout the full pressure range of the valve. The
cam-like action produced by the offset stem and disc,
effectively lifts the disc off the seat during the initial
opening of the valve, reducing seat wear and eliminating
seat deformation at the top and bottom. When the disc is
Seat material Maximum Working Temperature
in the open position, there is no contact between the disc
SS316L*RPTFE 230C (446F)
and seat. Operating torques are reduced and seat life is
FIRE-SAFE to API 607 5th Edition
extended.

SEAT LEAKAGE - Leakage of soft seated version is ZERO

PRESSURE TEMPERATURE RATING:

Vacuum Service
The drop tight sealing capabilities of MAX-SEAL valves
are excellent for vacuum service. Soft seated standard
valves are suitable for vacuum service to 20 microns.
Denote vacuum service on the order.

Dead End Service

MAX-SEAL lug bodies for dead-end service are offered
as standard in full ANSI Class 150 and 300.

Steam Service
MAX-SEAL standard valves are ideally suited for
saturated steam applications to 120 psig steam (RPTFE
seat). Carbon filled TFM seats and high temperature
graphite stem packing can handle pressure up to 200 psig
steam.

Max-Seal offers a broad line of automation

systems for precise proportioning or on-off control
in either pneumatic or electrically powered units.

www.maxsealinc.com

Actuator mounting flange universally designed to mount

valve automation equipment
complying to ISO 5211. Sizes
2 thru 14 Class 150 & 2
thru 12 Class 300 can be
directly mounted, larger sizes
require a mounting bracket. For
direct mount option, a mounting plate spacer is usually
needed to compensate for the
longer shaft of butterfly valves.
