Neles Jamesbury 24" CL-150 Wafer Sphere Butterfly Valve 316SS 8151-113600XZ

The Neles Jamesbury Wafer Sphere Butterfly Valve is a high-performance valve designed for demanding industrial applications, offering tight shutoff and reliable control in pipelines handling fluids, gases, and slurries. This 24-inch model, constructed from durable 316 stainless steel, features a wafer-style body for easy installation between flanges, reducing weight and space requirements compared to lug or double-flanged alternatives. Key benefits include low torque operation, which minimizes actuator size and energy consumption, and a spherical disc design that enhances sealing integrity and extends service life under high-pressure and temperature conditions. It excels in industries like chemical processing, oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation, where corrosion resistance and minimal leakage are critical. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost versus standard butterfly valves and the need for precise alignment during installation. Advantages over competitors include Jamesbury's patented lip-seal technology for bubble-tight shutoff, superior flow characteristics with low pressure drop, and compatibility with pneumatic actuators for automated control. This unit appears used with an attached blue pneumatic actuator, showing minor wear but no major damage, making it suitable for refurbishment or direct reuse in heavy-duty systems.
