Asahi literally names a butterfly valve 'Pool-Pro' — the ISO 5752 short-pattern face-to-face on both Type-57 LIS and Type-55 IS is the commercial hook that matters in an older pool or aquarium plant room: it drops into the existing metal-valve flange spacing without repiping the whole mechanical room.
