Triple eccentric design:

- 1st offset: center line of the resilient disc
seal is offset from the center line of the
shafts.
- 2nd offset: the center line of the shaft is
offset from the valve body.
- 3rd offset: the Dubex body seat landing
surface has the shape of an oblique cone
with the ground surface perpendicular to
one side of the cone.
Resilient seal firmly integrated on disc for
tight shut off performance.
In-line replaceable and readjustable resilient
disc seal.
Standard body seating surface is Stainless
Steel. Alternative seating surfaces on request.
Horizontal or vertical shaft mounting.
Axial bottom shaft bearing carrying the disc
weight when installed with shaft in vertical
position.
Reversed V-shaped packing for vacuum
applications.
Open brackets for packing access and
adjustments are available on request.
Self lubricating bearings.
Low head loss, suitable for throttling services.
Face-to-face:
According AWWA C504-10 short.
Above 72: according AWWA C516-10.
Alternative face-to-face dimensions on
request.
Clockwise closing.
Suitable for manual gear, electric, hydraulic
and pneumatic actuation.
AWWA POD (Proof Of Design) certificates
available.
Design to comply with AWWA:
- Higher grade shaft material comply to
shaft safety requirements of AWWA.
- Minimum shaft diameter deviates from
AWWA.
Performance testing in compliance with
AWWA C504 requirements.
Valves are cycle tested as per AWWA C504
requirements.

Specific advantages of the triple eccentric design
- Torque closing: greater torque results in improved tightness.
- Closing torque is in direct relation with the shut off pressure, which results in smaller actuator
selections at lower pressures.
- Virtually no rubbing from the resilient seal on the seating surface. This enhances the life
expectancy of the valve.
- Large diameter valves are normally in open position. Sediments can therefore settle on the body
seating surface. Due to the specific geometry these sediments will be whiped off during closing,
improving sealing performance.
- The resilient disc seal is adjustable, facilitating easy maintenance.
- The resilient disc seal is replaceable in line.

Notes
1. Listed data are valid for 150 psi rated valve only.
2. Rated Cv = volume of water in USG/min at 60F that will pass through valve at a given valve opening at a pressure drop of 1 psi.

3. Values may change without notice.

4. Cv-values are based on best data available however no responsibility is assumed for inaccuracies.
5. Allowable flow velocity 72: 10 Ft/s; 80: 8 Ft/s. For higher velocity, please contact factory.

In our factory R&D facilities all our large diameter Dubex valves are modeled and optimized for specific flow conditions with infinite ANSYS technologies. Latest computer
software is also applied to design the castings and to produce the valves with greatest care and efficiency.

Available technical options
1. Dry shaft option
Alternative to high corrosion resistance shaft materials the Dubex valve can be equipped with the optional dry shaft provision. In that case the
standard shaft material is protected from the medium by applying rubber lining. This lining protects the standard shaft material against corrosive
environments.
2. Combined Butterfly Check valve (CBCV)

Example of 72 combined butterfly check valve for a power station

cooling water system

Computer simulation of CBCV

This unique and proven configuration combines the advantages of the tight shut off butterfly valve with the non slamming action of high end butterfly
valves. Such design is a cost effective alternative to existing pump protection solutions such as traditional swing type check valves, and large and
complex cone type valve.
Specific advantages of the combined butterfly check valve design:
- Bi-directional tight shut off service
- Power failure to close 
- Available with add on power packs, control panels and cabinets
- Very short closing times
- In line adjustable seat
- Simple, reliable quarter turn operation eliminating the use of
- In line maintenance
multi turn gears on sensitive electrical equipment
- Non rubbing soft seat, enhancing the life time expectation
- Controlled closing times in order to avoid water hammer
- Fully lined versions available for corrosive services
- Quick opening times
- Custom made
- Non slamming design
3. Fabricated design
For specific applications, such as vacuum
service and buried service steel pipe lines, we
do produce the fabricated Dubex valve design.
It incorporates all advantages of the triple
eccentric resilient seated butterfly valves with
the features of a butt weld valve having identical
wall thicknesses between pipe and valve.
Having equivalent materials ensures proper
welding and avoids cracking due to different
material expansions coefficients.
