Kitz 6153EL-600 Lug Butterfly Valve 250 Psi 6 in

Product Description

The KITZ 6153EL-600 is a 6-inch ductile iron lug-style butterfly valve rated for 250 psi service. Lug-style butterfly valves are designed for bidirectional dead-end service, allowing one side of a piping system to be isolated and disassembled without disturbing the other side. The lug body accepts bolts through threaded inserts on both flanged faces, securing the valve directly between mating flanges. This design is common in commercial and industrial piping systems where section isolation is required without full line shutdown. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers of this valve type.

This valve is suited for use in commercial HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process piping, water distribution, and general fluid-handling applications where a compact shutoff or throttling device is needed in a 6-inch line. The 250 psi pressure rating supports a broad range of medium-pressure service conditions. The ductile iron body provides strength and impact resistance over cast iron, making it appropriate for demanding mechanical room and plant environments.

Key Features

• Lug-style body allows dead-end service and single-side disassembly
• 250 psi pressure rating for medium-pressure fluid systems
• Ductile iron construction for superior strength compared to standard cast iron
• 6-inch face-to-face size fits standard ASME flange spacing
• Compact wafer-profile body reduces installed weight and face-to-face dimension versus full-body valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation butterfly valve for 6-inch ductile iron lug-pattern piping systems rated to 250 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before installing or replacing this valve. Verify that mating flanges are clean, properly aligned, and rated for the same or greater pressure before torquing fasteners. Do not use the valve as the sole means of pressure isolation during system service without confirming dead-end rating compatibility with system design.
