Hayward Butterfly Valve 3 in PVC/PP/Nitrile Lever

3-inch PVC butterfly valve for water lines

This wafer-style valve handles pipe sizes of 3 in with a PVC body and glass-filled polypropylene disc. The lever handle provides direct manual control for on-off service in residential or light-commercial plumbing. It is rated for a maximum water pressure of 150 psi and meets NSF/ANSI 372 for lead-free compliance.

Check pipe size, bolt pattern and temperature limits

Verify that the existing line uses a 3 in nominal size and a 6 in bolt circle with four 3/4 in lug holes to match the valve drilling. The Buna-N liner and PVC body are rated from 32 to 140 degrees F, so confirm the system fluid stays within this range. Ensure the media is compatible with the listed materials before installation.

Pressure, temperature

At the rated 150 psi the valve body and disc maintain structural integrity across the full 32 to 140 degree F span. The lever operator requires no external power and adds no electrical noise to the installation. ASTM D1784 cell class 12454 and ASTM D4101 cell class 85580 define the material quality for long-term pressure retention.
