3-Way Ball Valves

Three Way Ball Valves:

A 3-way ball valve has three ports and is available in T-Port and L-Port configurations, depending on the required flow pattern.
Ideal for controlling and diverting flow without the need for a tee and multiple valves.
Can be used as a diverter, directing flow from one inlet to either of two outlets.
Can also function as an input selector, where the outlet is fed from either of the other two ports.

T-Port:

Excellent for mixing fluids, as two inlets can be merged into a single outlet (also known as Mixing Ball Valves).
The opposite flow direction is also possible, allowing a single source to divert flow in two directions simultaneously.
T-Port ball valves can direct flow between just two ports, either to the left, to the right, or straight through.

L-Port:

The L-port design allows flow to be directed in one direction at a time.
From a single inlet, flow can be directed into two different outlets.
In the opposite flow direction, a single outlet can receive flow from either of two inlets.

Stainless Steel 3-Way Ball Valves

Full Port with flange Connections (2″ to 16″)

3-way stainless steel ball valves are designed to either mix or divert flow in piping systems. These valves are popular due to their cost-effective solution for handling a wide range of media, including water, foodstuffs, beverages, brewing, and various corrosive substances. They are available in two configurations:

L-Ported Ball: Ideal for diverting duties.
T-Ported Ball: Suitable for both mixing and diverting tasks.

The AVP air-actuated 3-way stainless steel ball valves are designed to meet most common flow change requirements, with all three ports aligned on the same plane (horizontal entry). These valves are available with either screwed or flanged end connections and come equipped with ISO 5211 actuator pads, allowing pneumatic actuators to be directly mounted.

3-way Ball Valve Flow Plans

These flow patterns are standard features available on all 3-way ball valves we supply. To specify the flow pattern you need, simply select it in the configurator for the corresponding series.

What is a 3-Way Ball Valve?

A 3-way ball valve is a type of multi-port valve, which can have three, four, or even five ports. The 3-way ball valve is the most popular among multi-port valves due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. It features three ports or entry points that allow gas or fluid (media) to flow through, which are connected to piping or conduit.

Depending on the flow configuration, these ports are typically designated as one inlet and two outlet ports, or one outlet and two inlet ports. The 3-way ball valve is widely used because it provides an economical and straightforward solution for controlling both shutoff and flow paths within a single valve body.

Flow control in a 3-way valve is achieved through the alignment of the piping, the rotation of the valve handle, and the internal configuration of the valve ball. The valve can perform various functions depending on the specific requirements of the process:

– Restrict the Flow Completely: The valve can be used to completely stop the flow.

– Mix Two Different Fluids: It can combine two different fluids from separate sources.

– Divert Flow: The valve can redirect flow from one destination to another.

– Direct Flow to Multiple Destinations: Flow from one inlet can be split and directed to two different outlets.

– Selective Flow Blocking: The valve can block one outlet while allowing flow to continue in another direction.

A key aspect that determines the function of a 3-way ball valve is the internal design of the valve ball itself. This design dictates the flow pattern, with most 3-way ball valves having valve balls shaped in either an “L” or “T” configuration:

– L-Port Ball: Provides two flow paths and is typically used for diverting flow between two outlets.

– T-Port Ball: Offers three flow paths, allowing for mixing or diverting flow among multiple ports.

How Does a 3-Way Ball Valve Work?

There are 2 primary types of 3-way ball valves, each functioning differently from a standard ball valve:

1. L-Pattern (Diverter Valve)

Functionality: The L-pattern valve shifts the flow from one port to another through the rotation of the handle or actuator.

Controle de fluxo:

In its first position, the bottom port and left port are open.
A 90-degree turn (counter-clockwise) redirects the flow from the left to the right outlet.
A 180-degree turn completely blocks the flow of media.
A 270-degree turn also obstructs the flow.
A full 360-degree turn brings the valve back to its original position.

Flow Positions:
- 2 ports can be open at any given time.
- This allows for two shut-off positions and three flow options.

2. T-Pattern (Mixer Valve)

Functionality: The T-pattern valve allows the mixing of media from two inlet flows, directing it out of a third port.

Controle de fluxo:

All 3 ports can be opened simultaneously.
The T-pattern valve can also function as a diverter, similar to the L-pattern valve, with a quarter-turn of the handle.

Flow Restrictions:

Unlike the L-pattern, the T-pattern cannot provide a bubble-tight shut-off.
It can, however, restrict flow to two ports or open all three ports for passage.

Flow Patterns:
- As a mixer, the valve can divide media flow in two opposite directions.
- It can also create a straight-through flow similar to a two-way ball valve.
- The typical port remains open in a vertically mounted T-pattern valve, and flow diversion occurs with a quarter-turn.
- A 180-degree turn will not change the flow pattern.

3-Way Ball Valve Classification

What is the 3-Way Ball Valve used for?

A 3-way multiport ball valve is versatile and can be used for various applications depending on the configuration of the internal ball. With an L-type ball, the valve is commonly used as a diverting valve, shut-off valve, by-pass valve, selection valve, or directional valve.

On the other hand, a T-type ball valve is typically used as a sampling valve, mixing valve, by-pass valve, purge valve, or uniform flow valve.

3-Way Ball Valve Selection Guide

The main consideration while selecting the right valve for your application are:

Determine the fluid to be used in the system, this is required to choose the right and equivalent valve seal.
Determine the pressure rating of the system where the valve needs to be fitted.
Know the temperature to which the system usually works on.
Check the connection type whether the valve is compatible to be connected to the piping or not.
The material used for the valve body must be compliant with the existing process lines and appropriate for the process temperature and pressure.
Determine the operation mechanism of the valve and whether it is feasible for application in the existing system.
