Product description
The DEMCO Series NE-I is the short-neck, standard-installation member of the DEMCO butterfly valve family. Designed for installation between ASME Class 125/150 flanges, the NE-I covers the broadest range of body materials of any DEMCO series — including aluminium for low-weight installations and 316 stainless for corrosive-fluid service. Suited to a wide range of applications across many industries, including food and beverage utilities, process flow lines, and general industrial isolation duty. Available in wafer and lug body styles, sizes 2″ through 12″, with three drop-tight shut-off ratings (200 / 285 / 50 psi) plus throttling.

Is the NE-I a wafer or lug butterfly valve?▾
Wafer and Lug. Wafer bodies install between two flanges using through-bolts and self-centre in ASME Class 150 flange patterns. Lug bodies have threaded bolt holes and can be used for end-of-line service with the downstream pipe removed (provided weld-neck or socket flanges are used upstream). Specify the body configuration explicitly on your RFQ.
What sizes are available in the DEMCO NE-I?▾
2″ – 12″ (50 – 300 mm). Larger bores (14"–36" / 350–900 mm) are covered by the Series NF-C product line — please request the NF-C series instead if you need 14" or larger.
Which shut-off pressure rating should I order?▾
200 psi (standard), 285 psi (high-pressure), 50 psi (low-torque), Throttling. The 200 psi rating is the standard general-service shut-off and covers the majority of applications. The 285 psi rating is for higher-pressure liquid service. The 50 psi rating is selected when the application allows reduced shut-off pressure in exchange for substantially smaller actuator sizing — common in automated systems where actuator cost dominates. Throttling-rated valves do not provide drop-tight closure but offer the lowest operating torque for control-valve service.
How do I select the right seat elastomer?▾
Match the elastomer to your fluid and temperature: Buna-N is the general-purpose hydrocarbon and oil seat (0–180°F). EPDM is the recommended water-service elastomer (peroxide-cured, +20–275°F) and is also resistant to alkaline solutions. Viton is the premium chemical/high-temperature seat (+20–300°F). Hypalon is preferred in acid service. Refer to the DEMCO Material Selection Guide for chemical-specific compatibility — Indus Hydraulics will cross-check the elastomer against your service conditions during quote review.
How do I select the right body and disc material?▾
Body material is driven by line-fluid corrosivity and pressure: ductile iron is the volume choice; bronze, stainless steel, aluminium and aluminium-bronze cover progressively more aggressive fluids; nickel-plated and PVF-coated ductile iron variants extend ductile iron's chemical service. Disc material should match the body material's corrosion class — DEMCO discs are available in 316 SS, Monel, aluminium, bronze, ductile iron (nickel-plated or PVF-coated), Alloy 20 and Hastelloy C. Indus Hydraulics will recommend a body/disc pairing on your RFQ once you confirm the line fluid and temperature.
Can this valve be automated?▾
Yes. The DEMCO top-flange is dimensionally compatible with competitive butterfly valves, so any DEMCO 10-position locking handle, 2-position locking handle, memory-stop throttling handle, square-nut handle, weatherproof worm-gear operator, or Series DR double-acting / spring-return pneumatic actuator can be fitted in the field. With the optional "utility top" stem the valve also accepts third-party actuators without modification — useful when replacing a competitive valve in an existing automated installation.
Is this valve fire-safe / NACE / API 607 rated?▾
No — the DEMCO NE/NF/NEI series is a resilient-seated process butterfly valve and does not carry API 607 fire-safe certification or NACE MR0175 certification. For fire-safe or sour-service applications, Indus Hydraulics carries triple-offset metal-seated butterfly valves under the Cameron oilfield valve product line — please request the oilfield butterfly valve series instead.
Is end-of-line service supported?▾
Yes — the lug-body variant of the NE-I is rated for end-of-line liquid service with the downstream piping removed, up to the standard 200 psi shut-off rating (150 psi for sizes 14" and larger). Only weld-neck or socket flanges may be used upstream — slip-on or threaded flanges are not supported in this configuration. Lug bodies are also recommended for isolation of pumps, control devices and any system component which may need to be removed for repair or replacement.
