Butterfly Valves
Series DBF-03 Full Lug and DBF-04 Wafer
Sizes: 2" - 12" (50-300mm) 200psi (13.8 bar)
Watts Series DBF resilient seated butterfly valves are available in 
sizes 2"-12" (50-300mm), wafer or lug body design. This series 
was designed to meet the stringent requirements for HVAC, 
Irrigation, OEM, Commercial and Institutional applications, and 
wherever positive shutoff is required for liquids, gases, and slurries. Incorporating a 200psi (13.8 bar) pressure rating for 2"-12"  
(50-300mm), the Series DBF is standardly constructed of a 
ductile iron body, an aluminum bronze, ductile iron or 316SS 
disc, and a 416SS or 316SS shaft. Standard seat materials 
available include Buna-N, EPDM, and Viton 
seat prevents the seat from collapsing or dislodging. In addition 
to the above features, the Series DBF mounting pad is designed 
to ISO 5211 standard to accommodate lever handles, gear 
operators or actuator. 
The Watts Series DBF butterfly valves are designed and manufactured for use with ANSI 125 or 150 Class flanges and to 
comply with API 609 and MSS-SP-67.

Features
Operators – Ten-position handle is standard. An infinite 
positioning/locking handle is also available on valve sizes 2"-12"  
(50-300mm). The infinite position Pos-Lok throttle plate incorporates a memory stop and a padlocking device in the fully closed 
position. Manual, worm-gear operators are available for all valves 
and are recommended on 8" (200mm) and larger sizes. Watts 
butterfly valves are also available with electric or pneumatic 
actuators and chain wheel operators to satisfy a wide variety 
of requirements.
Shaft
 – One-piece shaft delivers positive disc-to-seat location 
with maximum strength. 416SS is standard with aluminum 
bronze and ductile iron discs and 316SS shaft with stainless 
steel disc.
Shaft Bushings – Duralon 
for proper shaft alignment and minimal shaft deflection.
Shaft Seal
seal prevents external contamination of stem area and provides 
a backup seal to the primary shaft seal formed by the disc/seat 
interface.
Body
and Wafer (DBF-04) types designed for use between ANSI 125 
and 150 flanges. Face-to-face dimensions comply with API 609 
and MSS-SP-67. All valves are designed to accommodate 2" 
of insulation. The standard body material is ASTM A-536 
ductile iron.
 – To prevent shaft leakage, the bidirectional shaft 
 – Watts Butterfly Valves are available in Full Lug (DBF-03) 
®
 bushings (3) provide shaft support 
Disc – Disc edge is machined and polished 360° to assure leak- 
tight shutoff while minimizing operating torque. Positive, disc-toshaft connection is provided by stainless steel precision taper 
pins that are vibration proof.
Seat – Phenolic-backed, non-collapsible, resilient seat is me-
chanically secured to provide dead-end service to the full 200psi 
(13.8 bar) pressure rating. Seat face eliminates the need for 
flange gaskets. Full 360° sealing isolates the body components 
from the media and provides the primary shaft seal. Available in 
EPDM, Buna-N, and Viton
