LEDE 6″ (DN150) Ductile Iron Grooved Butterfly Valve with Lever Operator ? PN16/300 PSI

Description The LEDE Model LV3142-150 is an elite flow control solution engineered for grooved piping systems. Designed for direct installation onto Schedule 40 (SCH40) pipe, this valve eliminates the need for flanges, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. Unlike gear-operated models, this version features a Lever Operator (LO), which allows for rapid “Quarter-Turn” opening and closing. This is particularly beneficial in systems where quick isolation is required. The valve body is constructed from high-strength Ductile Iron and protected by a Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating. The disc is fully encapsulated in EPDM rubber, ensuring a bubble-tight seal even after prolonged use. Key Features Rapid Operation: Heavy-duty lever handle allows for immediate 90-degree transition from open to closed positions. Grooved Interface: Engineered to AWWA C606 standards for seamless connection with standard grooved couplings on SCH40 pipes. Resilient Disc: Ductile iron disc with EPDM encapsulation provides excellent sealing and high resistance to wear and chemicals. Compact Design: Streamlined profile is ideal for areas with restricted space where a large handwheel would be impractical. Position Locking: The lever handle includes a notched plate and locking mechanism to secure the valve in the desired position. Industrial Grade: UL Listed and FM Approved for fire suppression systems, rated for a working pressure of 300 PSI (PN16).
