Metal 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port
A Metal 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port is a multi-port valve designed with an L-shaped bore inside the ball that allows diversion of flow between two different outlets while shutting off the third. Constructed from robust metals like stainless steel, carbon steel, or brass, this valve provides superior durability, chemical resistance, and the ability to handle high pressure and temperature conditions. The L-port configuration is commonly used in applications requiring diversion, mixing, or alternating flow paths in industrial pipelines.
Key Features of Metal 3 Way Ball Valve L-Port
- L-Port Flow Pattern: Directs fluid between two outlets while isolating the third.
- Compact 3-Way Design: Reduces the need for multiple valves in flow diversion systems.
- Quarter-Turn Operation: Quick opening and closing with smooth control.
- Heavy-Duty Metal Body: Provides strength for demanding industrial environments.
- Leak-Proof Sealing: Precision ball and seat design ensures tight shutoff.
- Versatile End Connections: Available with threaded, flanged, or welded ends.
- Manual or Automated Actuation: Can be operated by lever, gear, pneumatic, or electric actuator.
- Corrosion and Pressure Resistant: Suitable for aggressive fluids and high-pressure service.
