Rotary valve that offers rugged reliability and high cycle life

The rotary valve can easily be installed in either a horizontal or vertical orientation with no detriment to performance or cycle life. This also enables left- or right-hand mounting of the valve actuator, allowing access for any installation.
The Fisher 8580’s disk design gives it an approximately linear flow characteristic to provide precise throttling control. The valve is offered with either a soft or metal seal, providing capability for enhanced shutoff. The interchangeable seal capability minimises parts inventory requirements.
