UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve T-Port Type
The UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve T-Port Type is a specially designed valve featuring a ball as its core component, offering excellent water flow control and enhanced performance. This valve has three ports, allowing connection to three pipelines, which enable the water fluid reversal and diversion. Its core structure consists of a four-seat sealing system and a T-shaped flow channel. They are rotating the valve, which is core to allow for the interconnection of the three forward flow channels and the conduction of any two channels. The UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve T-Port Type valve also features media mixing and flow direction to switch the capabilities.
UPVC 3 Way Ball Valve T-Port Type body material includes reinforced PTFE, making it suitable for weak acid, alkali, and steam media environments, with operating pressures ranging from 1.0 to 6.4 MPa. The methods include manual, pneumatic, and electric, with a four-seat design and elastic elements to ensure the sealing stability. Some models integrate a water fluid velocity measurement into the device and quickly release the structure, improving the operational efficiency and flow control accuracy.
