TECOFI VPE4649-08EP Lug Butterfly Valve, Stainless Steel Disc, PN16, Gearbox

VPE4649-08EP is a Tecofi (France) lug butterfly valve of the VPE lug range: ductile iron EN-GJS-400-15 (GGG40) body, 316 stainless steel disc (CF8M), Heat EPDM seat, operated by a handwheel gearbox whose ISO 5210 output plate takes multiturn electric actuators. Size range DN350–DN1200, maximum working pressure 16 bar, working temperature -15°C / +130°C (peak -30°C / +150°C).

How does VPE4649-08EP differ from VPE4609-08EP?

VPE4649-08EP has a maximum working pressure of 16 bar (PN16 flanges) while VPE4609-08EP is rated 10 bar (PN10). The body / seat test pressure is 24 / 17.6 bar for VPE4649-08EP and 15 / 11 bar for VPE4609-08EP. Body, disc (stainless steel disc), seat (Heat EPDM), handwheel gearbox and working temperature are the same.

How to read the VPE code (inferred from Tecofi’s datasheets): 44 = wafer, 45 = flanged, 46 = lug; last two digits 08 / 09 = PN10 with ductile iron / stainless disc, 48 / 49 = PN16 with ductile iron / stainless disc; -08 = handwheel gearbox; EP = EPDM seat.

Dimensions and weight by DN

The table is taken from the Tecofi datasheet (version dated 13/01/2026). L is the length between the two flanges (face to face); weight is the valve weight per the datasheet.

The Ref. columns are the per-size order codes in the Tecofi code table CAD holds; an empty cell means that code is not in the table we have, so ask CAD to confirm. If you need another seat material (for example NBR or FPM), say so in your request and CAD will check it with the manufacturer.

Applications

Per the Tecofi datasheet, VPE4649-08EP is used in water treatment, pumping and irrigation; fluids: cold water, hot water, wastewater, alkalis and sodium hydroxide, etc.
