Evidence scope

The retained official product route documents: GF Piping Systems is a GF division providing flow solutions for the safe and sustainable transport of fluids across industry and infrastructure. This dossier uses that cited route as the editorial scope. [S9]

The retained research coverage separates company identity from the named product evidence. It does not turn one model or series into a claim about unlisted company-wide operations. [S12]

Butterfly Valve

Documented series: GF Type 565 wafer and lug, Type 567 and 578 double-eccentric, and Type 065 high-purity butterfly valves

GF documents Type 317 as a PVC-U SF diaphragm valve with an ANSI flange connection. [S14]

Construction
Type 317 uses a PVC-U SF valve body with an EPDM diaphragm and ANSI flange connection. [S15]
Size and flow datum
The cited item is d 75 / DN 65 / 2½ in, PN 10, with kv 992 l/min at Δp 1 bar. [S16]
  • GF Type 317 PVC-U SF diaphragm valve, represented here by the ANSI-flanged EPDM item 161317753. [S7]

Selection fit: Use the Type 317 route when its PVC-U SF, EPDM, ANSI-flange, size, pressure and kv constraints match the process. Confirm medium compatibility, final size, connection and duty point with GF. [S17]

Electric Ball Valve

GF documents Type 127 on the Ball Valve 546 Pro route as an electric-actuated ball-valve configuration. [S19]

Actuator and power
The cited Type 127 configuration is built with EA15 electric actuator and 24 V AC/DC power. [S20]
Control features
The product data states a factory-set 90° control range, open/close position feedback and manual override; listed variants include 2-way and PN 10 options. [S21]
  • GF Ball Valve 546 Pro Type 127 electric-actuated configurations with EA15 actuator. [S8]

Selection fit: Use the Type 127 route when a 24 V AC/DC EA15 electric-actuated ball valve with its stated 90° control range, feedback and manual-override features fits the duty. Confirm body, material, seal, connection, item and final pressure with GF. [S22]

Procurement fit

For butterfly valves, GF positions the Type 565 for industrial fluid and gas transport applications and the Type 065 for high-purity and corrosive service, with actuator options offering Industrial Ethernet communication standards and IP68 ingress protection. For diaphragm valves, the Type 317 is procured when its PVC-U SF body, EPDM diaphragm, ANSI flange connection, and the cited d 75 / DN 65 / 2½ in, PN 10, kv 992 l/min datum match the process. For electric ball valves, the Type 127 with EA15 actuator suits duties requiring 24 V AC/DC supply, 90° control range, open/close feedback, and manual override.

Technical capabilities

The butterfly valve line specifies IP68 ingress protection across the documented series. The diaphragm valve entry, item 161317753, is constructed with a PVC-U SF body, EPDM diaphragm, and ANSI flanged connection at d 75 / DN 65 / 2½ in, PN 10, with a published kv of 992 l/min at Δp 1 bar. The electric ball valve Type 127 is supplied with an EA15 actuator at 24 V AC/DC, a factory-set 90° control range, open/close position feedback, and manual override. Listed Type 127 variants include 2-way and PN 10 options.

Markets and applications

The butterfly valve range is described as corrosion-resistant and lightweight, suited to fluid and gas transport. The Type 565 targets general industrial service, while the Type 065 is specified for high-purity and corrosive media. The Type 317 diaphragm valve is positioned for process duties compatible with PVC-U SF body and EPDM elastomer at the stated size and pressure class. The Type 127 electric ball valve addresses actuated on-off or modulating duties where 24 V AC/DC power and defined control feedback are required.

Evidence limitations

Several common buying fields are not publicly documented in the source material. For the butterfly valve series, body and disc materials, full pressure-temperature ratings, face-to-face dimensions, and applicable standards are not publicly documented. For the diaphragm valve beyond the cited item, alternative sizes, end connections other than ANSI, and other elastomer options are not publicly documented. For the electric ball valve, body and seal materials, full torque ratings, communication protocol details, and certification status are not publicly documented.

Editorial summary

Frequently asked questions

What Butterfly Valve product is documented for GF Piping Systems?

The retained product material names GF Type 565 wafer and lug, Type 567 and 578 double-eccentric, and Type 065 high-purity butterfly valves. The dossier keeps this as a product-level statement rather than using it as a claim about the company's entire catalogue. [S5]

Which common buying fields are not published in the retained sources?

The retained source packet does not publish Certifications, Availability or stock. Those fields are intentionally left out of the procurement snapshot rather than inferred from a related series, a product image or the company identity. [S12][S18]

Research notes

The retained first-party packet supports a richer product-level reading surface, but it does not yet contain 600 words of distinct cited content. This noindex dossier remains in reviewing status until additional source-backed facts are retained.
