3 Way L Port Ball Valves 1000 PSI

The 3-way L Port (diverter valve) ball valve with threaded ends, is made of high-quality Stainless Steel CF8M. The 3-way ball valve is available in T-Port and L-Port designs, completing the range of NPT threaded reduced port stainless steel three-way ball valves. The T-Port (Mixing valve) allows flow in all three ports or in two ports only, while the L-Port (Diverter valve) allows flow in two directions in an L pattern. This specialized stainless steel ball valve is necessary for directing flow in three lines. Diverter and directional valves are common names for three-way L-Port stainless steel ball valves because this configuration is typically used to divert or change the direction of gas or fluids through one of two separate outlets or ports. Manual reduced port three-way stainless steel L-Port ball valves, used as directional valves, are usually installed with the bottom port acting as the flow entry port of the valve body. T-Port stainless steel three-way ball valves, also referred to as mixing valves, are used to combine or mix fluids from two different ports. These valves are generally installed with the bottom port acting as the flow entry port of the full port valve body to mix or combine the fluids. In general, three-way stainless steel L-Port or T-Port ball valves are described based on how the ball valve directs the flow of fluids (oil, gas, water, and petroleum). Depending on the setup of the three-way stainless steel ball valve and how the valve ball is drilled, oil and gas flow can be either mixed (Mixing valve) or diverted (Diverter valve). The three-way ball valve can be completely shut off, or the flow can be blocked in one direction. Three-way stainless steel ball valves can eliminate the need for an extra ball valve and save space.
