FCT Triple Offset Butterfly Valve

FCT Triple Offset Butterfly Valve – Frictionless Metal-Seated Shut-Off for Critical Applications

FCT triple offset butterfly valves incorporate three precise offsets:

  1. Shaft is offset behind the disc centerline (1st offset)

  2. Shaft is offset from the pipeline centerline (2nd offset)

  3. The sealing surface is conical, creating a cam-action closure (3rd offset)

This geometry eliminates rubbing between the seat and disc during opening/closing, making it ideal for frequent operation, high temperatures, and tight shut-off needs.

These valves are commonly used in oil & gas, power plants, chemical industries, and process systems where zero-leakage, fire-safe design, and low-emission performance are essential.
