| LKB Automatic or Manual Butterfly Valve |

| LKB butterfly valve with handle |
LKB is a sanitary automatic or manually operated butterfly valve for use in stainless steel fluid handling systems.
LKB is either remote-controlled by means of an actuator or manually operated by means of a handle. The actuator is made in three standard versions, normally-closed (NC), normally-open (NO) and air/air-activated (A/A).
The actuator is designed so that an axial movement of a piston is transformed into a 90° rotation of a shaft. The torque of the actuator is increased when the valve disc contacts the seal ring of the butterfly valve.
A variety of handle options for manual operation mechanically secures the valve in its open, closed, or intermediate positions.
The valve consists of two valve body halves, valve disc, bushings for the disc stem and seal ring. The valve is assembled by means of screws and nuts.
Two actuator sizes, ø 85 mm (3.35") and ø 133 mm (5.24"), cover all valve sizes.
The actuator is fitted onto the valve by means of a bracket and screws.
The handle for manual operation is fitted onto the valve by means of a cap/block system and a screw.
The LKB is available with either welded ends or Tri-Clamp® sanitary connections.
Control and indication is possible in connection with the remote-controlled LKB valve, including the ThinkTop®. See “Options”.
