6 in Cast-Iron Butterfly Valve
The Milwaukee Valve CL223E is a lug-style butterfly valve built for water-service piping in commercial and light-industrial systems. Its cast-iron body and EPDM liner handle pressures to 200 psi across a temperature span of -30 to 250 degrees F. The aluminum-bronze disc resists corrosion where plain iron would degrade. Maintenance crews and mechanical contractors specify it for isolation and throttling duties on 6-inch lines.
Replaces worn gate or globe valves
Swapping a legacy multi-turn valve for this quarter-turn unit cuts operating time and reduces the packing-leak path that develops on rising-stem designs after years of cycling. The jump pays off when the line sees frequent operation or when the existing valve body is sound but the seat and stem are scored. If the pipe schedule or flange drilling differs from the 8-hole, 9 1/2 in bolt circle, the changeover will require adapters or a different valve.
Lever handle bolts to existing flanges
The lever mounts directly on the top flange so installation is a matter of aligning the 3/4-10 lug bolts, torquing in a star pattern, and verifying disc clearance. The most common error is over-tightening the lug nuts, which distorts the cast-iron body and binds the disc. Debris left in the pipe during commissioning will score the EPDM liner on the first stroke, so flush the line before final bolting.

Questions about this item
What bolt pattern and hole size does the 6 in lug valve require for mounting?
The valve has eight bolt holes on a 9 1/2 in bolt circle with 3/4-10 lug threads for flange connection.
How is the lever handle installed on the valve stem, and what step is often missed?
The lever mounts on the stem with a set screw; the step often missed is aligning the handle to the open/closed position before tightening the screw.
When should the EPDM liner be inspected or replaced in water service?
Inspect the EPDM liner annually; replace it if you see cracking, hardening, or leakage past the disc at pressures up to 200 psi.
