Valves & Actuation

Asahi/America Gate Valves are widely used ON/OFF valves for large diameter, full-port applications. When the valve is fully open, it allows straight-through passage through an opening that is essentially the same size as the inside diameter of the connecting pipe. Asahi/America Gate Valves are traditionally used for ON/OFF service, but because of the unique sliding plug design, which provides a larger seating area than conventional gate valves, it can be used in throttling applications. Asahi/America Gate Valves feature two different designs of plugs, one with a solid polypropylene plug and the other with a resilient elastomer plug. Each valve is specifically designed to handle unique corrosive applications.

Asahi/America Type 57 Butterfly Valves disc has about the same diameter as the connecting piping, and the flow is straight through, with a low pressure drop. The solid thermoplastic butterfly valves have a lined body design and bubble-tight seal with only the liner and the disc as wetted parts. Asahi/America Type 57 Butterfly Valves are self-gasketing, eliminating the need for additional flange gaskets. Asahi/America Type 57 standard model has a PVC or PP body with a polypro, CPVC or PVDF disc for better chemical and abrasion resistance at temperatures higher than can be achieved with other PVC butterfly valves. All models standard with 316SS shaft.
