3 Inch 90mm S100x8 Butterfly Valve

3 Inch 90mm S100x8 Butterfly Valve (Reference: 10020490) represents the ideal professional valve solution for equipping your 1000-liter tanks. This valve manufactured from high-quality HDPE offers universal compatibility with all containers featuring an S100x8 male outlet, ensuring reliable and durable installation for your industrial, agricultural or domestic applications.

Applications and advantages

This butterfly valve addresses both individuals wanting to optimize their rainwater collection system and professionals managing industrial or agricultural installations. Its butterfly design allows precise flow control, essential for applications requiring fine regulation: automated irrigation, liquid transfer, controlled drainage or measured distribution.

The molded nut with 90mm internal diameter ensures perfect grip on the tank outlet, eliminating leak risks even under pressure. This technical characteristic particularly appreciated by professionals guarantees optimal sealing and superior longevity compared to makeshift solutions.

Technical specifications and materials

The HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) constituting this valve offers exceptional resistance to non-aggressive chemical agents, thermal variations and UV radiation. This material composition allows permanent outdoor use without degradation, unlike valves made from standard materials liable to weaken under solar exposure.

The S100x8 male 3 inch outlet complies with European connection standards, guaranteeing compatibility with all accessories and fittings available on the market. Precise threading and careful finishing allow secure assembly with your installation elements: pipes, elbows, quick connectors or other valves.

The butterfly mechanism integrates a proven sealing system, designed to resist the usual service pressures of IBC tanks without requiring frequent maintenance.

Installation and practical use

Installing this butterfly valve requires no specialized tools. Simply screw the 90mm nut onto your tank's S100x8 male outlet with firm manual tightening without excess. Sealing is ensured by the molded design of the nut, avoiding the use of additional gaskets.

The butterfly operation offers progressive opening allowing fine flow regulation according to your needs. This feature proves valuable for irrigation applications, product dosing or managing transfers between containers. The ergonomic handle facilitates operations even with work gloves.

For maintenance, simple rinsing with clear water suffices to maintain performance. In case of lime or organic deposits, gentle cleaning with a soft brush restores the original appearance. HDPE resists common detergents without altering its mechanical properties.

Expert advice and synergies

This butterfly valve integrates perfectly into complex systems combining several IBC tanks. Associate it with Multitanks Camlock fittings to create quick and secure connections between containers. Elbows and reducers from our range allow easy adaptation of this 3 inch outlet to smaller diameters.

To optimize your irrigation installations, this valve pairs ideally with our Gardena programmers and automatic distribution systems. Its adjustable flow suits perfectly surface or submersible pumps from our catalog, creating efficient assemblies for agriculture or horticulture.

Professional tip: For permanent installations, position this valve at ergonomic height using our extensions and elbows. This facilitates daily operations while preserving the main tank's integrity. Avoid over-tightening which could damage the tank's HDPE threading.

During winter periods, completely drain the valve to avoid frost-related damage. This simple precaution considerably extends your equipment's lifespan.
