Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Type-57 LIS Butterfly Valve rating | 150 psi @ 70°F, ISO 5752 short-pattern metal-valve replacement | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Named plating-line chemistries | Wet chlorine, plating solutions, acidic waste, sulfuric/hydrofluoric/nitric acid, caustics | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Warranty | 3-year warranty across all 5 thermoplastic valve families | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Stem/trim material options | 316 stainless steel, Titanium, or Hastelloy C | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
Electroplating lines running wet chlorine, hydrofluoric acid, or plating-bath caustics corrode standard metal valve trim long before the body fails — Asahi's ISO 5752 short-pattern families exist as direct metal-valve replacements with 316SS, titanium, or Hastelloy C stem options specifically because trim material is where plating-service valves actually fail.
