• Finish: Two part red epoxy (RAL 3000).
• Connections: Wafer style carefully designed to fit between
the following flange types;
BS 4504/DIN 2501/ISO 2084 PN10 and PN16.
ANSI B16.1 Class 125. C A

Butterfly Valve (Wafer) with Gear Operator - BWG & BWGT Wiring Instructions
The BWG series butterfly valves can be ordered with one internal supervisory position switch and one internal auxiliary switch by adding the letter
“T” to the part number ordered.
The supervisory/auxiliary switches operate by a cam connected to the valve stem and are designed to notify in the case of valve closure. Please
refer to the relevant installation standard and Authority Having Jurisdiction.
The switches will change position and close within two (2) full turns of the hand wheel from the fully open position.
