The NIBCO GD-4765 grooved butterfly valve provides manual quarter-turn flow control with a lever-lock handle. Its ductile-iron body has a polyamide coating, and the ductile-iron disc is encapsulated in EPDM.
Choose from the five size-specific manufacturer part numbers below. Each listed valve uses grooved ends for compatible IPS metallic piping; verify pipe dimensions, coupling selection, and clearance before replacing an existing valve.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Quarter-turn lever operation | Moves between open and closed positions through 90 degrees. |
| Lever-lock handle | Lets the operator select and retain a handle position. |
| Extended neck | Provides clearance for insulation up to 2 inches thick. |
| Splined stem-to-disc drive | Avoids pins and bolts through the waterway. |
| Nominal size | Manufacturer part number | Operation |
|---|---|---|
| 2 inch | NLK680D | Lever-lock handle |
| 2-1/2 inch | NLK680E | Lever-lock handle |
| 3 inch | NLK680F | Lever-lock handle |
