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. 

 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 simple 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 personal.

 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.



Sustainably future-proof

Lower production footprint

The waste of energy and resources in industrial production is reduced further by the long service life, thanks to a higher resistance against corrosion.

10 tons weight saved

600 metal valves can be exchanged on a cruise ship, saving 20 tons in weight. The lighter material also minimizes the energy consumed when opening and closing the valves.

Lower overall costs

The low weight of the plastic material reduces the energy and resources needed for transport and installation. After installation, the advantages of the reduced static weight can become even more significant.

Leisure water park: InterSPA company for operations WONNEMAR Wismar mbH

On the verge of its 20th anniversary the leisure water park in the north of Germany replaced the worn out butterfly valves within the filter flushing system with the new Butterfly Valve 565. The challenge was finding a direct replacement for the old valves that could be replaced during operation of the park to prevent costly downtimes. The Butterfly Valve 565 was the perfect solution for both.

Theme park: Europa Park Rust

Being a customer for many years the Europa-Park made the decision to replace its old metal butterfly valves with GF Piping Systems brand new plastic Butterfly Valve 565. Due to the significantly higher weight of the old and corroded metal butterfly valves, they were more diffcult to operate and required more effort for annual maintenance than the modern plastic Butterfly Valve 565.
