The butterfly valve includes a shaft rotatably mounted to the conduit and defining a longitudinal axis along its length. The butterfly valve includes a valve body coupled to the shaft, such that the valve body is rotatable along with the shaft about the longitudinal axis between a closed position and a fully open position. The valve body includes a first major surface, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, a perimeter surface, a central plane, a first lobe, a second lobe, and a third lobe.
