FCT Double Offset Butterfly Valve

FCT Double Offset Butterfly Valve – High-Performance Shut-Off with Reduced Seat Wear

FCT double offset butterfly valves feature a disc offset on two axes: one from the centerline of the pipe and another from the axis of rotation. This creates a cam-like motion during operation, allowing the disc to disengage from the seat before rotation, minimizing friction and extending valve life.

Available in both soft-seated and metal-seated configurations, these valves are suitable for higher pressure and temperature applications where tight shut-off, frequent cycling, or automated control is needed.
