A butterfly valve with handwheel is a type of butterfly valve that uses a manual handwheel to control the flow of fluids such as liquids, gases, or slurries within a piping system. It features a circular disc mounted on a rotating shaft, positioned in the center of the pipe. Turning the handwheel rotates the disc, allowing the valve to open or close—typically with a 90-degree (quarter-turn) movement.
The handwheel provides manual control, enabling precise adjustment of the valve position for flow regulation. This type of actuator is common in applications where automation is not required, or where manual operation is preferred for simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
