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.
