Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Butterfly Valves from 3G Electric.
How do I size a butterfly valve for my application?
Sizing depends on pipe diameter, flow rate, pressure drop, and media type. For general-service ductile iron valves, match the valve to the pipe size and ensure the pressure rating exceeds system pressure. For high-performance or sanitary applications, consult the flow coefficient (Cv) and check 3-A certification if required.
What is the difference between electric and pneumatic butterfly valves?
Electric butterfly valves use a motorized actuator for precise, remote control, ideal for applications with available power and slower cycling. Pneumatic versions use air pressure for fast, reliable actuation, suited for high-cycle or hazardous environments. Both are available in ductile iron and stainless steel options in this catalog.
Do you ship butterfly valves worldwide and what is the lead time?
Yes, 3G Electric ships butterfly valves worldwide. With 1,313 units in stock across 12 brands, most standard valves ship within 24-48 hours. Custom or high-performance configurations may require additional lead time; contact us for specific availability and delivery schedules.
