Racer Butterfly Valves
What are Racer Butterfly Valves?
Racer Butterfly Valves are quarter-turn flow control devices designed for regulating or isolating fluids in pipelines. Known for their compact size and efficient shutoff, these valves use a rotating disc to control flow, allowing for rapid open/close operation with minimal pressure drop. Commonly used across water treatment, HVAC, chemical processing, and food-grade systems, Racer Butterfly Valves are designed for both manual and automated operations.
Asiad Steel Industries is a trusted manufacturer and exporter of Racer Butterfly Valves in various body materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and special alloys. Our valves are engineered to meet the highest industry standards in terms of precision, sealing integrity, and longevity.
