The 3-Way Stainless Steel Ball Valve is a compact multi-port isolation and flow diversion valve designed for industrial, commercial, and general process applications. Manufactured from ASTM A351 CF8M stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and dependable performance across a wide range of compatible media.
The L-port design allows flow to be directed between different pipeline paths, making it suitable for diverting or selecting flow between two outlets. The reduced bore design provides a compact and economical solution while maintaining reliable shut-off and flow control performance.
The valve is fitted with PTFE seats, a blow-out proof stem, and a lockable lever handle, allowing secure operation and dependable sealing. BSP threaded ends are supplied in accordance with BS 21:1973.
An L-port 3-way ball valve is designed to divert flow between two outlets or select between two flow paths. It allows flow from one inlet to either of two outlets, but not to both at the same time. This makes it suitable for flow direction change or line selection applications.
An L-port valve allows flow in an “L” shape, meaning it diverts flow from one port to another. A T-port valve can allow mixing or simultaneous flow to multiple ports depending on ball configuration. L-port valves are typically used for diverting, while T-port valves are used for mixing or distribution.
A reduced bore valve has an internal port size smaller than the pipe’s internal diameter. This design is compact and economical, and is commonly used where full flow capacity is not critical and space savings are beneficial.
The valve body is manufactured from ASTM A351 CF8M (316 stainless steel), which provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability. PTFE seats offer low friction, chemical compatibility, and reliable sealing across a wide range of fluids and temperatures.
The lockable lever allows the valve handle to be secured in a fixed position using a padlock. This helps prevent accidental operation, improves safety, and is especially useful during maintenance, isolation, or process control applications.
