  • Seats and Seals: Teflon (PTFE)
  • Threads: Female NPT (National Pipe Thread)
  • Standard Port: Reduced Bore Ball Valve 
  • Handle: Blow-Out Proof
  • Handle Locking Mechanism: handle equipped with locking device (Removable)

Performance Specifications:

  • Pressure Rating: 1000 PSI (6.4MPa) Making them suitable for most applications.
  • Temperature: -13⁰F to 302⁰F (-25°C to 150°C)

    General Characteristics:

    • 3 Way Ball Valves come in two styles depending on the flow pattern they produce namely the L-Port and the T-Port.
    • The L-Port valve produces flow in a L-Shape and are used as Diverter Valves, diverting flow from one inlet to a choice of two outlets.
    • They may also be used as Selector Valves, choosing between one of two inlets to flow to a given outlet.
    • The T-Port produces flow in a T-Shape and are used as Mixing Valves blending flow from two inlets.

    Material components:

    • Valve Body: Made out of Stainless Steel 316 (CF8M).
    • Seals and Seats: The Seals are made out of Teflon also called PTFE.
    • Compatibility: Suitable for substances that are compatible with both Stainless Steel and Teflon (PTFE).
    • All the parts touching the product being transported, are manufactured form long lasting Stainless Steel 316, the non-wetted parts are stainless Steel 304.

    General Dimensions:

    • Although these are made from four pieces, namely a valve body with three caps attached to each port end, the body is still made out of one piece.
    • This means that they cannot accept a ball as large as the 2 Piece & 3 Piece can.
    • This makes their ID (internal diameter) smaller than the full port, however they are not as reduced as the standard port or reduced port. 
    • The ID is wider than the one-piece ball valve of equivalent size.
