French term or phrase: vannes paillon

I'm they mean "vannes papillon" rather than "vannes paillon" - or is there such a thing as a "wrapper valve"? There seems to be more references for "butterfly valve". Here is the sentence:

Les radiateurs seront raccordés par l’intermédiaire de **vannes paillon** de sorte que chaque radiateur pourra être démonté sans mettre le transformateur hors service et sans vidanger de l’huile de la cuve.

Explanation:
must be a typo... vannes papillon are extremely common, but I've never hear of a vanne paillon
