UPVC Electric Actuator 3 Way Ball Valve
A UPVC Electric Actuator 3 Way Ball Valve is an automated valve that controls flow, utilizing a three-port ball valve made of UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) and operated by an electric actuator to divert, mix, or distribute fluid flow between different pipeline directions. It uses electric power to rotate a ball with three openings, allowing fluid to flow in multiple paths automatically.
UPVC Electric Actuator 3 Way Ball Valve is a joint system for solvent welding (PVC-U and PVC-C only), for welding (PP-H only), and for threading this patented SEAT STOP® ball seat carrier system that lets you micro-adjust the ball. Easily radial disassembly allows the quick replacement of O-rings and ball seats without any need for tools. The valve body is injection moulding equipped with built-in bores for actuation. Options for disassembling downstream pipes with the valve in the closed position. High surface finish stem with double O-Ring and double connection key to the ball, and equipped with a visual ball position indicator for correct handle installation.

1. Durable Corrosion‑Resistant Construction
- UPVC (Unplasticized PVC) body — provides excellent resistance against corrosion and many chemicals (acids, alkalis, salts), making it ideal for oil, gas and chemical service.
- Lightweight and rugged design compared with metal valves.
2. Three‑Way Flow Capability
- L‑port or T‑port ball design lets you divert, mix, combine, or distribute fluid between different pipes.
- L‑Port: Diverts one inlet to either of two outlets.
- T‑Port: Can mix flows or distribute a stream into two outputs simultaneously.
3. Automated Electric Actuator
- Remote and automated operation removes the need for manual handling.
- Control types:
- ON–OFF (simple open/close)
- Modulating / Position‑adjustable for proportional flow control
- Intelligent actuators with feedback signals and digital control (optional)
- Mounting standard: ISO 5211 mounting pad compatible with most electric actuators.
4. Versatile Electrical Specifications
- Multiple power options: AC 110–380 V, DC 12 V / 24 V, and custom voltages.
- Supports control signals such as 4–20 mA, 0–10 VDC for integration with PLC/automation systems.
- Actuators can include a manual override for local control if needed.
5. Reliable Sealing & Leak Protection
- PTFE or elastomer seats and O‑rings ensure a tight shutoff and minimize leaks.
- A double O‑ring stem seal is often used to enhance sealing reliability and prevent leakage.
6. Easy Installation & Maintenance
- Union or threaded end connections simplify installation and removal.
- True union body designs allow the valve to be removed from the pipe without disturbing the rest of the system.
- Quick actuator mounting with ISO standard pad and direct mounting removes extra brackets.
7. Environmental & Safety Features
- Electrically insulated, reducing risk of short circuits in wet environments.
8. Broad Application Range
Suitable for:
- Automated fluid distribution & mixing
- Chemical dosing systems
- Oil & gas treatment plants
- Irrigation & agricultural control networks
- Industrial processing lines

Types of UPVC Electric Actuator 3 Way Ball Valve
1. By Port Configuration (Flow Path Types)
T‑Port (Mixing / Diverting)
- The internal passage is shaped like a “T.”
- Can mix two inlet streams into one outlet or divert one inlet to two outlets, depending on ball rotation.
- Offers more flexibility on connections (e.g., combining flows).
L‑Port (Diverting Only)
- The internal passage is shaped like an “L.”
- Usually used to divert flow from one inlet to one of two outlets.
- Simpler and often cheaper than T‑port.
2. By Electric Actuator Type
ON‑OFF (Two‑Position) Actuator
- Standard 90° rotation.
- Simply switches the valve between two states (open/closed or diverting positions).
- Used when you just need to switch between flow paths, not control flow rate.
- Modulating (Proportional) Actuator
- Allows partial rotation between 0–90°.
- Provides proportional control — ideal for dosing, mixing, or variable flow control.
Intelligent / Smart Actuator
- Includes an LED display or digital control.
- Can accept feedback signals, connect to field buses (like Modbus), and support remote monitoring.
3. By Control Signal / Voltage Options
- Voltage Types: DC (e.g., 12 VDC / 4 VDC) or AC (e.g., 110 VAC, 220 VAC, 380 VAC) actuators.
- Control Signals:
- Simple ON/OFF
- 4–20 mA, 0–10 V for analog control
- Digital signals for intelligent control systems.
4. By Valve Body / Connection Types
- True Union – easy to assemble/disassemble for maintenance.
- Threaded / Socket Connections – common for smaller sizes and simpler installations.
- Standardized mounting pads like ISO 5211 allow easy actuator swapping.
