SPIKE BRAND:
The butterfly valve is the preferred valve for the cold side of brewing due to the ease of cleaning. It comes standard on the FLEX+ and is a nice upgrade for the FLEX.
Our handle is a special 'shorty' style which keeps a compact design. This handle is made from extremely durable glass reinforced nylon which is much lighter than metal handles.
Specs:
-2" TC
-304SS metal components
-FDA silicone seals
-Light and durable fiber reinforced nylon handle
-Squeeze trigger with 13 locking positions
An important note about chemicals. Do not leave these valves soaking in strong detergents, acids or caustic solutions for days at a time. Silicone is a great choice for seals in hot and food grade applications but it will shrink over time after long chemical exposures. A shrunken seal is a leaking butterfly valve and they are not cheap to replace.
