UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port Type
The UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port Type is a ball valve with three channels arranged in an L-shape, hence its name. The UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port Type ball is located within the valve body and connected to the actuator via the stem to allow it to rotate around the valve body’s centerline.
The UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port Type is a reliable and efficient multi-port flow control valve designed for diverting the flow between two outlet ports from a single inlet. The L-port configuration allows the water fluid to flow between one inlet and either of the two outlets, making it ideal for direct control without any mixing. This valve offered superior chemical resistance, long service life, and dependable performance in industrial, chemical, and water treatment applications.
