The ATHENA Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve is engineered for demanding water transmission and distribution systems where reliable sealing, low torque operation and long-term durability are essential.

Designed according to EN593 and EN1074 standards, ATHENA valves are widely suitable for municipal water networks, pumping stations, treatment plants and large diameter pipeline projects.

Compared with concentric butterfly valves, the double eccentric design reduces seat friction during operation, resulting in longer seat life and smoother opening / closing performance.

Why Choose ATHENA Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve

• Essential: Design and material selection are optimized for use in low and medium pressure drinking water applications.
• Durable: Uninterrupted corrosion protection with pin-less connection and closed disc eyes ensure long service life and clean water.
• Efficient: Flow-efficient design for minimized head loss and low energy consumption significantly reduces the cost of ownership.
• Installation: Double bearing kits to furthest reduce the torque, tansfer the weight of disc to body, also it could lock and fix the position of disc for long life using, even the valve could vertical downward direction

Typical Applications

• Municipal Water Transmission Pipelines
• Water Distribution Networks
• Pumping Stations
• Water Treatment Plants
• Reservoir Inlet / Outlet Pipelines
• Irrigation Infrastructure
• Buried Valve Chambers
• Large Diameter Pipeline Isolation Service

Technical Specifications

Why Double Eccentric Design Matters

Unlike concentric butterfly valves, the shaft in a double eccentric valve is offset from the disc centerline and seat centerline.

This design helps:

• Reduce friction during opening
• Lower seat wear
• Improve sealing reliability
• Reduce torque demand
• Extend maintenance intervals

For large diameter water pipelines, these advantages often translate into lower lifecycle cost.

Installation Recommendations

For best field performance:

• Flush pipeline before installation
• Align flanges accurately
• Tighten bolts in cross pattern
• Support large valves during mounting
• Confirm operating direction and clearance
• Conduct functional open/close test before commissioning

For buried or flood-prone chambers, IP68 gearbox configuration is recommended.
