Fisherr A41 High-Performance Butterfly Valve

The Fisher A41 valve features an eccentrically mounted disc with a soft or stainless steel seal ring. Soft seals provide excellent sealing capabilities in both flow directions. The metal seal ring provides excellent shutoff against pressure applied in the recommended flow direction for both liquid and gas applications. The NOVEX and Phoenix III metal seals are available for demanding applications requiring excellent shutoff capabilities. The double D shaft combines with a variety of power and manual actuators to form a reliable, high-performance valve suitable for many power applications requiring tight shutoff. Unless otherwise noted, all NACE references are to NACE MR0175-2002.

Fisher A41 Valve

Features

Exceptional ShutoffBidirectional soft seal ring (see figure 2) with pressure-assisting action results in exceptional shutoff rates as shown in the specifications. Shaft RetentionRedundant shaft retention provides added protection. The packing follower and shaft step interact to hold the shaft securely in the valve body (see figure 1). Easy InstallationThe valve body self-centers on the line flange bolts as a fast, accurate means of centering the valve in the pipeline. Sour Service CapabilityMaterials are available for applications handling sour fluids and gases. These materials comply with the requirements of NACE MR0175-2002.

Improved Environmental CapabilitiesThe optional ENVIRO-SEALt packing system is designed with improved sealing, guiding, and loading force transmission. The ENVIRO-SEAL packing system can control emissions to below the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) limit of 100 ppm (parts per million) for valves. Low Cost MaintenanceIndividual disc/shaft components can be replaced after disassembly due to sleeve and taper pin connections (see figure 1).

Installation
It is recommended that the valve drive shaft be mounted in a horizontal position. Operating conditions may require specific valve/actuator fail action, styles, positions and flow direction. Valves with NOVEX seal rings require mounting in the reverse flow direction. Refer to figure 4. Large valve/actuator assemblies may require additional support because of the combined weight.

For assistance in selecting the valve/actuator mounting suited to your application, consult your Emerson Process Management sales office. Dimensions for wafer-style and single-flanged valves are shown in figure 6.
