LUG type valves are a specific type of flanged rotary disc shut-off and control valves, characterized by increased variability in installation and connection to pipelines and/or various containers.
Design features
LUG type systems differ from conventional flanged and flanged rotary disc valves by the presence of mounting eyelets on the body, which allow them to be fastened with studs or bolts in the absence of a second flange. Due to this feature, such fittings can be used as an end locking valve for the pipeline.
Areas of application
"LUG" type valves are most often used in pipeline systems:
- heating;
- water supply (cold and hot);
- ventilation and air conditioning.
The circulating medium can be water and other liquids (including aggressive ones, provided that specialized brands of valves are used), as well as gases and bulk materials.
