300PSI Butterfly Valve with Lever - Grooved End GD-381L
▏Product Description
The 300PSI Butterfly Valve with Lever - Grooved End GD-381L is a heavy-duty fluid control valve engineered for fire protection and commercial piping networks. Manufactured by Ningjin APC Industries—a globally trusted UL/FM butterfly valve manufacturer and supplier—the GD-381L combines fast mechanical grooved connections with dependable bi-directional sealing performance.
Designed for operating pressures up to 300 PSI and factory test pressures up to 600 PSI, the GD-381L's pressure rating fully conforms to UL 1091, ULC / ORD-C1091, and FM 1112 standards. It features an ANSI/AWWA C606 or Metric Standard clear waterway design across sizes from 2" to 8". Constructed with a durable ductile iron body, 416 stainless steel upper and lower shafts, an EPDM encapsulated ductile iron disc, and an ergonomic malleable iron lever, this valve guarantees low operating torque and robust durability.
Equipped with an ISO 5211 top flange for standard mounting and optional NSF/ ANSI 61 & NSF/ ANSI 372 lead-free certification, the GD-381L is ideal for indoor and outdoor installations, fire inflow water systems, drain pipes, high-rising building fire fighting systems, and industrial factory buildings working in a temperature range of 0~80°C / 32~176°F.
