This side entry 3 way ball valve offers diverting and mixing flow patterns and often eliminates the need for two valves. The full port design is easily automated and is available with various seat materials. The bolt on side flanges make for easy seat changes as necessary to accommodate your service.
A 2-way ball valve has 2 ports, an inlet and an outlet, making it a straight ball valve. Therefore, media will only flow in one direction and they are considered inline ball valves with the rest of the assembly. If the valve is open (handle parallel to the pipe or hose), then the media will flow from the inlet, through the ball’s bore, and out the outlet. If the valve is closed (handle perpendicular to the pipe or hose), then the media flow is shut off. Thanks to the quarter turn ball valve operation, they are easy to use and you can visually see if the valve is open or closed.
