VICTAULIC LAUNCHES NEW STRENGTHINTM 100 SERIES E125
INSTALLATION-READY BUTTERFLY VALVE FOR HVAC SYSTEMS
Victaulic, the world’s leading manufacturer of
mechanical pipe-joining systems, has launched
the new Victaulic StrengThin 100 Series E125
Installation-Ready butterfly valve, an ideal
solution for HVAC applications.
In response to customer requests for more
e icient valve installations, the Series E125
butterfly valve o ers the best of both worlds: the
benefits of a grooved valve combined with the
ease and speed of installation of an Installation-
Ready coupling. By encasing the capability of a
rubber-lined butterfly valve within a coupling, the
Series E125 valve reduces the overall footprint,
considerably speeds up installation, and reduces
weight by almost 50% compared to a flanged valve
assembly.
DJ Wolbert, Product Manager at Victaulic,
comments: “An Installation-Ready valve was the
next logical step for us. Flanged wafer valves have
always been a sour point for the industry. Not only
do they have a lengthy installation process with
the star-pattern tightening of the bolts and nuts
and a higher risk of misalignment, they also have a
cumbersome maintenance process. Our new valve

solves all these issues. It can simply be pushed
on grooved pipe or fittings and by tightening two
bolts and nuts, installation is complete, not only
twice as fast as the traditional two couplings and a
valve combination, but up to 10 times faster than
wafer valves with flanges.”
Specifically designed for use on thin wall
stainless steel pipe featuring the StrengThin 100
groove profile, the rubber-lined valve protects
against leaking and ensures easier maintenance
– all in a compact, easy-to-install design, suitable
to be fit into tight spaces o en associated with
HVAC systems. The Series E125 butterfly valve is
lighter in weight and allows for full 360-degree
orientation, so it fits into tight, irregular spacing.
Its economic design means there are no loose
parts, making it safer and quicker to install –
without the need for star-pattern bolt and nut
tightening.
The valve is available in DN80 – DN200 | 3”- 8”
sizes and is specifically designed for systems
up to 16 bar | 1600 kPa | 232 psi and for bidirectional
service to full working pressure. It is
also o ered with a standard ISO 5211 stem and
flange geometry to accept most gear and power
actuators.
The compact
design allows for
a cheaper, faster,
cleaner and safer
installation process.
