Where can a butterfly valve be used?

A butterfly valve is designed to provide quick shut-off and flow control in various piping applications, making it particularly well-suited for use on the inlet and outlet of a water pump. This positioning allows for efficient regulation of water flow, ensuring that the pump operates optimally while also facilitating maintenance procedures by enabling easy shut-off of the water supply.

In contrast, options that limit the use of butterfly valves to specific scenarios, such as only on pressure relief systems or strictly in refrigeration systems, restrict the versatility that these valves are known for. Similarly, while butterfly valves can be used at the end of a long pipe run, they are not exclusive to that application, making the choice of water pump inlets and outlets the most suitable and broadly applicable option.
