Butterfly Valve 565

The plastic Butterfly Valve 565 is the ideal solution for reliable fluid control for all water- and water treatment applications. The interoperable and lightweight plastic valve is available in both wafer- and lug-style, covering many applications and dimensions from DN50 to DN600.

The new Butterfly Valve 565 is the best choice for optimizing piping systems built for water applications and a wide range of other applications. This new generation comes at a significantly lower initial cost, and will save even more thanks to its lower static weight, requiring less energy for both operation and transportation. Installing the Butterfly Valve 565 is quick and easy, but thanks to its extremely high durability, it will be almost maintenance-free during its long service life.

Download Whitepaper

To demonstrate the performance of the thermoplastic Butterfly Valve 565, we conducted an independent Life Cycle Analysis to quantify its sustainability benefits, as well as a field installation at one of the largest desalination plants in Saudi Arabia to validate long-term durability under demanding conditions. The following whitepapers provide a clear, data-driven overview of these findings—supporting informed decisions with verified performance and operational insights.

Whitepaper 565 + SWA

Overcoming Seawater Challenges

How thermoplastic valves maintain performance and integrity in saltwater applications and desalination

Seawater applications such as desalination pose significant challenges for valve performance and longevity due to high concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorides, and other aggressive constituents. To prove the durability of thermoplastic valves, we conducted a 2-year trial installation and analyzed the results in our in-house laboratory.

Proven Sustainability Benefits

How do plastic butterfly valves reduce the climate impact of piping systems?

A recent Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) study conducted on GF's plastic Butterfly Valve 565, the first industrial butterfly valve with an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), serves as a basis for the Whitepaper, which sets out to answer this question.

Corrosion-resistant

Plastics do not corrode. The new Butterfly Valve 565 is made out of high-quality plastics that protect it from corrosion and abrasion. It therefore guarantees a longer lifetime and reduced maintenance and repair cost.

Direct replacement

The Butterfly Valve 565 comes in the same installation length as metal solutions (DN50 – DN300). The exchange does not require any additional work on the pipes or new designs. This reduces the effort of both planning and installation, also thanks to a lighter weight.

60% lighter

Thanks to its low weight, a single person can lift and install the Butterfly Valve 565 in just a few minutes. This also facilitates planning, since the low weight significantly reduces the need for costly transportation and personnel.

High p/T performance

High-performance thermoplastics protect the Butterfly Valve 565 even under harsh conditions such as water hammers or extreme temperatures. The results are a reduction of both maintenance costs and production stops.
