1/2" - 4" 3 way ball valve "T" Mold Type And "L" Mold Type 316L Stainless Steel
1. Description:
This side entry 3 way ball valve offers diverting and mixing flow patterns and often eliminates the need for two valves. The full port design is easily automated and is available with various seat materials. The bolt on thread make for easy seat changes as necessary to accommodate your service. Easily automated!
Design: ANSI B 16.34
Testing: API598
2. Applications:
When ports “A” and “B” are the inlets, and port “C” is the out-let, the valve becomes a mixing valve. With minor variations in position 2 the percentage of components at “A” and “B” can be varied to the outlet “C”. This has been successfully applied to hydronic systems.
It may not be possible to isolate the ports from one another in any position. If the valve is in position 1, and the pressure at port “B” is significantly higher than port “A”, the ball may be forced off the seat allowing mixing from all ports. Whether or not this is a problem depends on the application and its sensitivity to unwanted mixing.

4. Feature Advantage:
stainless steel reduced port three way ball valves are designed for use with water, air, oil, and other media compatible with the materials of construction. This diverter valve has a T-port and L flow pattern. There is no flow shutoff position with this type valve. Spring return actuator requires a pneumatic pilot signal to change the valve position, springs return the valve to the normal failsafe position with loss of signal. Valve will also return to the failsafe position upon loss of air pressure (or electrical power, if using a pilot solenoid valve).. Advantages of air actuated ball valves over other type valves may include: higher flow rates, higher pressures, higher temperatures, wider media compatibility, straight through flow path, reduced water hammer, and use in hazardous environments. Valve is tested per API 598, can be mounted in any orientation.
