3. DESIGN FEATURES (DOUBLE OFFSET)
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Double Offset Geometry | Two independent offsets: (1) stem axis offset from disc centerline; (2) disc centerline offset from pipe centerline | Cam-like sealing action minimizes rubbing, reduces torque and wear |
| Rubber Seat | Resilient elastomer seat (EPDM/NBR/Viton) provides bubble-tight shut-off | Zero leakage even at low pressure |
| Nickel Plated Disc | Electroless nickel plating gives excellent corrosion and erosion resistance | Prolongs service life in water/wastewater |
| Cartridge or Bonded Seat | Seat can be vulcanized to body or replaceable without removing actuator | Easy maintenance |
| Long Service Life | Double offset design eliminates “jamming” of disc against seat | Lower operating torque and longer seat life |
| Bi-directional Shut-off | Seals equally well in both flow directions | Flexible installation |
| Top Entry / Anti-blowout Stem | Stem retained with anti-blowout ring | Safety in case of internal pressure |
| Low Flow Resistance | Disc opens to 90° with minimal obstruction | Low pressure drop |
