This image features an actuated PVC butterfly valve, an industrial component used to control or isolate liquid flow.
Breakdown of Components
- The Actuator (Black Top): This is an electric or pneumatic motor that automates the valve’s movement. It includes a visual position indicator on top and a side handwheel for manual override during power failures.
- The Butterfly Valve (Grey Bottom): Made of durable PVC, this "wafer-style" valve uses a rotating disc to block or allow flow.
- Application: Because it’s PVC, it is ideal for corrosive environments, chemical processing, or water treatment where metal valves would rust.
