An aspect includes an offset parallel valve system that includes a first valve body and a first valve disc operably disposed within the first valve body. The offset parallel valve system also includes a second valve body in parallel with the first valve body and a second valve disc operably disposed within the second valve body, where the second valve disc is laterally offset from the first valve disc. A linkage system is operably coupled to the first valve disc and the second valve disc. The linkage system includes an armature coupled to a grooved linkage member having a first groove and a second groove. The first groove delays movement of the second valve disc as the first valve disc rotates, and the second groove controls a rotation angle of the second valve disc.
