spjällventil
Explanation:
En spjällventil finns i två varianter; wafer eller lug-style (se http://www.georgfischer.se/index.cfm?uuid=C09F5AC9D60EB5F063...

Jag hittade detta på wikipedia......
Wafer style is the more common of the two and is less expensive than the lug style. The wafer style butterfly valve is just about the standard. It ís so common that no one even bothers to use the word "wafer" when ordering a butterfly valve. They take it for granted that if they order a butterfly valve, they will get a wafer style one.

The wafer style butterfly valve is installed between two flanges. The valve is kept in place by using bolts or studs and nuts from flange to flange. This type of installation, of course, makes it impossible to disconnect just one side of the piping system from the valve. That is where the lug style valve comes in.
