Reliable, secure, and designed for system flexibility. Lug Type Butterfly Valves manufactured by C-Way Engineering Exports are designed for secure pipeline isolation, including dead-end service applications. Featuring individually threaded lugs on the valve body, this design allows safe removal of downstream piping without disturbing the opposite flange connection.

Engineered for industrial reliability, our lug butterfly valves are manufactured according to internationally recognized American (ANSI/API/ASTM), European (DIN/EN), and ISO standards, ensuring compatibility with global industrial and EPC projects

Technical Overview

The Lug Type design is distinguished by its protruding "lugs" that provide pass-through holes for bolts. Unlike wafer types, these valves are threaded, allowing them to be bolted directly to the flanges on either side.

Key advantages include:

  • Dead-end service capability
  • Secure and rigid flange connection
  • Suitable for higher pressure applications than wafer type
  • Easy maintenance without complete system shutdown
  • Automation-friendly configuration

Lug style butterfly valves are widely used in oil & gas utilities, water treatment plants, chemical processing, and industrial piping systems requiring maintenance flexibility.





Design Options: Concentric vs. High-Performance

Inside the lug-style body, we offer three distinct engineering configurations to suit your pressure and temperature requirements:

1. Concentric Lug Butterfly Valves (Resilient Seated) This is the most common lug-style valve. The stem is centered in the middle of the disc, and the disc is centered in the bore.
  • Best for: Water distribution, HVAC, and low-pressure industrial fluids.
  • Seating: Features a rubber liner (EPDM, NBR, or Viton) for a bubble-tight shutoff at lower costs.
2.Double Offset Lug Butterfly Valves (High Performance) For more demanding environments, the double offset design moves the stem away from the centerline of the disc and the seat.
  • Best for: Chemicals, oil, and steam applications.
  • Advantage: This design reduces friction during operation, significantly extending the life of the seat and allowing for higher-pressure cycles.
3. Triple Offset Lug Butterfly Valves (Critical Service) While most triple offset valves are flanged, we offer lug configurations for specialized high-pressure systems requiring metal-to-metal seating.
  • Best for: Extreme temperatures and high-pressure gas.
  • Advantage: Features a cam-like action that ensures "zero-leakage" without the use of elastomers, making it fire-safe and durable.

Applications & Industries



Why Choose Lug Type Over Wafer?

While both valves fit between flanges, the Lug Type offers two critical advantages:

  • Dead-End Service: You can remove the piping on one side of the valve while the other side remains under pressure. This is essential for maintenance at the end of a line.
  • Structural Integrity: The threaded lugs provide a more stable connection in systems prone to vibration or thermal expansion.




Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of a lug type butterfly valve?
What pressure ratings are available for lug type butterfly valves?

Lug type butterfly valves are available in PN10, PN16, ANSI Class 150, and Class 300, depending on design and application requirements.

Can lug type butterfly valves be used in oil and gas applications?

Yes, lug valves are commonly used in oil & gas, chemical plants, and industrial systems, especially where isolation and maintenance flexibility are required.

Which materials are suitable for lug type butterfly valves?

Available materials include ductile iron, WCB, stainless steel, and aluminum bronze, with various seat options depending on fluid and temperature conditions.

Are lug type butterfly valves suitable for automation?

Yes, they can be supplied with pneumatic or electric actuators, and are designed with ISO 5211 mounting for easy integration.

How is a lug type butterfly valve different from a wafer type?

Unlike wafer type valves, lug type valves have threaded inserts (lugs) that allow independent bolting and support dead-end service, making them more versatile for maintenance.
