ⅠConstruction and Design Features
XJ Butterfly Valves
1. Construction and Function
1.1 The valve design and the name of the parts are shown below.
1.2 90rotation of the stem opens and closes the valve.
1.3 Butterfly valve is serviceable in fully open, closed and intermediate position for volume control.
1.4 XJ type butterfly valve has center drive mechanism.
1.5 The bi-directional flow is available for butterfly valve.

2. General Feature
2.1 Selectable Neck Design
Neck design can be selected from 2 types of long and short as required.
2.2 Interchangeability to JIS Products
It complies with JIS B 2032 standardized for butterfly valve. It should be interchangeable to the
JIS standard existing butterfly valve. And gear-operated valve complies with public building
operation, too. (nominal diameter 50～300A)
2.3 Improved Operability
Light body of aluminum alloy die-casting is made alignment easy.
2.4 Supportable to Various Fluid
Stainless-steel (SCS14A) disc and EPDM seat are provided as standard items which are applicable
to various fluids. （But EPDM seat can’t be used for oil.）
2.5 Stable Operating Torque
Application of bearing prevents the stem galling and realizes stable operating torque.
2.6 Easy Mounting of Various Actuators
Actuator mounting flange complies with ISO 5211, so actuators can be mounted directly to the
valve body.
2.7 High Performance of Condensation Prevention
The longneck type is provided with condensation preventive system. Heat insulation work at gear
will be unnecessary and condensation will be prevented at chilled water line. (as for gear-operated
valve.)
[Rubber Seat]
Improved stability by rib-reinforced spherical surface seat
①Wide seal valve seat: High-performance wide seal structure
is adopted.
②Rib-reinforced seat: Providing rib in rubber seat prevents
misalignment from the position and separation caused by
friction to the disc or load of fluid.
③Stem seal: Stabilized sealing performance by thrusting into
bearing..
④Flange seal surface (no need for gasket)

5. Minimum Inside Diameter of Applicable Pipes
Never apply the pipes with smaller inside diameter than the figures shown in the following table. That
will cause unwanted contact of the valve disc with the pipe ends.
