Absolutely. All TTV 3" valves feature an ISO 5211 mounting pad, allowing for quick attachment of pneumatic or electric actuators.

A typical 3" butterfly valve has a Cv value between 130 and 160, depending on the design and disc shape. This represents strong flow capacity for mid-sized pipelines.

Yes—especially with a Silicone or Viton seat, the TTV 3" valve can handle saturated and low-pressure steam. Always confirm temperature/pressure compatibility.

A wafer valve is sandwiched between two flanges and held with through-bolts. A lugged valve has threaded lugs for direct bolting, allowing end-of-line service and easier removal.

Yes—when fitted with FDA-approved seats like Silicone or PTFE and a polished disc, TTV 3" butterfly valves are ideal for hygienic processing.

Depending on the seat material, operating ranges can vary:

  • EPDM: -10°C to +120°C

  • NBR: -10°C to +90°C

  • Silicone: -30°C to +180°C

  • PTFE: -10°C to +200°C (intermittent)

Yes, TTV butterfly valves are bi-directional and can be installed in either flow direction without affecting performance.
