R & D Multiple’s butterfly valves have been very commonly used in various water supply schemes all over India for past 2 decades. Irrespective of sizes, pressure ratings, fluids handled, type of operators etc. our BF valves are the most preferred choice of the discerning customers. We have also kept our valves in tune with the latest technological advancements in materials, manufacturing, pattern making & foundry & operators fields. This has enabled us to offer valves from 50mm to 3500mm sizes in pressure ratings of 6 to 40bar, in Cast / Fabricated constructions in Cast Iron, Carbon & Alloy Steels & Stainless Steels & also rubber-lined variety. The types of operators offered are Manual, Electrical, Pneumatic & Electro- Hydraulic. We also supply large Hydraulically operated Pump discharge valves (HOPD).         In short we provide techno-commercially best solution to any installation in which use of Butterfly Valves is envisaged.       SALIENT FEATURES :       A.

Accumulated air can cause catastrophes to the pipeline systems. Generation of vacuum leads to pipeline implosion or pressure transients. The preventive course is use of efficient Air Release valves & use of Anti-Vacuum Valves at the critical locations of the pipeline that are prone to vacuum generation. The R & D Multiple’s Anti- Vacuum valves are designed & manufactured to be extremely responsive & sensitive to the pressure decrease in the line. They instantly allow the entry of sufficient quantity of air at the slight hint of the inception of vacuum & preclude the possibility of vacuum build–up.         SALIENT FEATURES :       Size range: 150 to 400mm.
