Nibco NLJ160J Wafer Butterfly Valve 5 Inch Lever Handle

Product Description

The NIBCO NLJ160J is a manual wafer-style butterfly valve designed for 5-inch pipe systems. It uses a lever handle for quick quarter-turn open and close operation, making it a practical choice for flow isolation in commercial and industrial piping applications. The cast iron body provides structural durability in demanding service environments, while the ductile iron disc and stainless steel stem resist corrosion and wear over repeated cycles. A Buna-N seat delivers a reliable seal against water and many common fluids. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trades that specify and install this valve.

This valve suits 5-inch pipe installations in commercial HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process piping, and general water service applications. The wafer configuration allows it to fit between standard flanges without the added footprint of a lug-style body, which helps in tighter mechanical rooms or pipe runs where space is a factor. It is sold as an individual unit and is suited to both new construction and replacement service work.

Key Features

• Wafer body style fits between standard flanges for compact installation
• Cast iron body for structural strength in commercial and industrial service
• Ductile iron disc resists impact and corrosion in demanding flow conditions
• Stainless steel stem reduces corrosion risk and extends service life
• Buna-N seat provides a reliable fluid seal for water and compatible media
• Lever handle allows fast quarter-turn manual actuation without tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wafer butterfly valve for 5-inch pipe systems using standard flange connections in commercial and industrial piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any valve. Confirm flange face spacing and gasket requirements before torquing fasteners. Do not use this valve in services or fluid types that are incompatible with cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, or Buna-N materials.
