The manual butterfly valve uses the handle to twist the disc plate, so that the disc plate and the center line of the valve body channel are coincident or vertical, so as to realize the function of fully opening or fully closing the pipeline.

First observe the angular relationship between the handle and the centerline of the valve body pipeline;

As shown in the figure below: the handle is perpendicular to the centerline of the valve body pipeline, indicating that the manual butterfly valve is in a fully closed state.
Conversely, if the handle coincides with the centerline of the valve body line, the manual butterfly valve is fully open.
