3-way
Flanged three-way ball valves: what is the use
They are very common valves in the chemical and petrochemical industries, as well as in hydraulic installations, heating systems, water distribution, and compressed air systems. Three-way ball valves are used to control one or several fluids direction. They are perfect for mixing or distributing fluids coming from and/or going to a primary or a secondary circuit, or fully closing a way if necessary.
They are two different types of three-way valves, each one with specific functionalities:
- L port valves are used to divert flows (one input, two possible outputs), or to select a circuit (two possible inputs, one single input)
- T port valves are used to mix (two concurrent inputs, one single output) or to distribute fluids (one or several inputs, one or several outputs, depending on each configuration).
L-port and T-port valves can both be diverting valves: the type of valve will depend on the network layout (inputs and outputs).
Syveco’s offer
There is a large offer of three-way flanged ball valves available at Syveco.
