Nibco LCS-6822-3 Butterfly Valve 6 Inches

Product Description

The NIBCO LCS-6822-3 is a 6-inch high-performance butterfly valve designed for flow control in demanding piping systems. Butterfly valves of this class provide reliable shutoff and throttling in a compact, lightweight body compared to gate or ball valves of the same bore size. The LCS-6822-3 is typically specified in commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and process piping where a full-bore, low-pressure-drop valve is required. Licensed plumbing and mechanical contractors install this type of valve in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This 6-inch butterfly valve is suited for commercial and light industrial piping installations where space constraints or weight limits favor a wafer- or lug-style body over a full-bodied valve. Typical applications include chilled water and condenser water loops, domestic water mains, and industrial process lines. The high-performance designation indicates suitability for higher cycle counts and tighter shutoff requirements than standard butterfly valves in similar line sizes.

Key Features

• 6-inch nominal pipe size for large-bore flow control applications
• High-performance design supports tighter shutoff and higher cycle duty than standard butterfly valves
• Compact body reduces installation space and system weight compared to gate valves of equal bore
• Suitable for shutoff and throttling service in hydronic and process piping
• NIBCO commercial-grade construction for use in demanding mechanical systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation butterfly valve for 6-inch commercial and industrial piping systems requiring a high-performance butterfly valve in this bore size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Isolate and depressurize the line and drain the system before removing any existing valve or installing this unit. Verify flange drilling pattern and pressure-temperature ratings match the existing piping system before bolting the valve in place. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature for this valve body and seat combination.
