The wafer style valve typically have only two or four non threaded holes, used to secure the valve within two mating flanges and align them. The lug style has threaded holes allowing users to remove one end of the pipeline without affecting the other side, as it is firmly secured to a flange with bolts that match the threaded lugs on the valve. This makes cleaning, inspecting, repairing, or replacing other parts of the pipeline easier as there is no need to shut down the entire system.

Both types of butterfly valves can be used in many different industries and applications. For example, this type of valve is very suitable for HVAC or agricultural irrigation systems, where there are many connecting elbows, tees, and fittings.
