Pneumatically Actuated Lug Style
Butterfly Valve
Type 244
General
The Type 244 series pneumatically actuated lug style butterfly
valve from Georg Fischer is the ultimate choice for the high
demands of the industrial world. The unique double eccentric
design means the disc is not in contact with the seal when the
valve is being operated. The result is less component wear and
decreased required operating torques when compared to
traditional boot-style designs. Better chemical compatibility is
achieved because the inner body is the same material as the
pipe. The unique Q ring design insures a superior seal with
virtually any type of flange without the need for additional
gaskets. Additionally, the electro-pneumatic positioner, stroke
limiter, and feed back switches give flexibility for integration
into a wide variety of applications.
Features
• Size: 2”–12”
• Outer body: Glass-filled PP with overmolded SS316 lugs
• Body materials: PVC, CPVC, PP and PVDF
• Stem: 316 stainless steel
• Seal: EPDM or FPM; PTFE seals available upon request
• Movement: Fail open, fail closed, and double acting
• Mechanical: Namur compliant air connection and mounting
console for accessories such as positioner and feedback switches
• Visual position indicator
• Stroke limiter
Optional Features
• Solenoid air control valve

For non-GF actuators, breakaway torques 2.5 to 4 times the value of the
moving torque must be taken into consideration, depending on the
application conditions (e.g. control time, medium, temperature, etc.).
