Features and Benefits

A Digital Label

Each valve can be easily and uniquely identified by scanning the QR code on the product identification label per IEC 61406.

B Static Discharge Through Anti-Static Design

Static discharge is achieved through anti-static design (grounding washer and top flange drilling).

C Stem Design

The high-strength stem design combines blowout-proof functionality for safe operation and exceptional service life.

D Stem Bushing

Non-corrosive heavy-duty acetal bushing absorbs actuator side thrust.

E Robust Flange Sealing

Teardrop-shaped seat surface provides tight sealing with various industrial flanges.

F Molded-in Seat

Tightly controlled molding process produces accurate and repeatable dimensions, which leads to consistently lower torques over the valve’s lifetime.

G Precision Profiled Disc Sealing Edge

Extends the valve life by reducing seat wear.

H Upper and Lower Stem Bearings

Reduce operating torque and increase reliability in high cycle applications.

I End of Line Capability

Lug-style valves can seal at full rated pressure even when the downstream flange is removed.

FAQ

What media and operating conditions is the Bray 3-Cx resilient seated butterfly valve suitable for?

The 3-Cx series is suitable for gas, vacuum, water, wastewater, acidic media, and chemical media applications. Its operating temperature range is -20°C to 121°C, with a maximum allowable operating pressure of 16 bar. Actual selection should also consider media composition, concentration, temperature, pressure, and system operating conditions.

How to choose between the 3W Cx wafer and 3L Cx lug butterfly valves?

The 3W Cx is a wafer-style design suitable for installation between two pipe flanges. The 3L Cx is a lug-style design suitable for applications requiring dead-end capability. The 3L Cx can maintain sealing at full rated pressure even after the downstream flange is removed. Specific configuration should be confirmed based on pipeline connection method, maintenance requirements, and application conditions.

How does the 3-Cx series achieve low torque and long service life?

This series features a molded-in seat, precision profiled disc sealing edge, and upper/lower stem bearings. The controlled molding of the vulcanized seat helps maintain dimensional consistency and consistently lower operating torque over the valve's lifetime. The profiled disc sealing edge reduces seat wear. Upper and lower stem bearings help reduce operating torque and increase reliability in high-cycle applications.

Is the Bray 3-Cx butterfly valve easy to automate with actuator installation?

Yes. The 3-Cx series features an ISO 5211 top flange for easy actuator mounting. The stem bushing is made of non-corrosive heavy-duty acetal material that absorbs actuator side thrust. The high-strength stem features blowout-proof functionality, enhancing safety and service life in automated operation.

What design features does the 3-Cx series have for sealing, safety, and identification?

The series sealing test conforms to EN 12266-1 Rate A. The teardrop-shaped seat surface provides tight sealing with various industrial flanges. The valve features an anti-static design with grounding washer and top flange drilling for electrostatic discharge. Each valve is uniquely identifiable through a QR code product identification label compliant with IEC 61406.
