Description
3-Way Stainless Ball Valve
The 3-Way Stainless Ball Valve safely controls the direction of flow in industrial installations. This type of valve is resistant to high temperature and pressure, but system failure may occur if the right choice is not made. Therefore, material quality and sealing properties should be carefully examined during the selection phase. The fact that the valve is made of non-corrosive steel provides the advantage of long-lasting use, but technical analysis should be carried out before installation. This valve type is frequently preferred in systems that require high performance.
What is a 3-Way Valve and How Does It Work?
3-way ball valves are designed to direct flow in three different directions. These valves are usually available in two forms, T-port or L-port. The T-port valve can open both outlets at the same time, but the L-port only changes direction. Both types offer different advantages depending on the system architecture. For example, the T-port valve is more preferred in heating-cooling systems. The principle of operation is quite simple, but it is still necessary to be careful during installation.
Rust-free Material Advantages
Rust-free steel shows high resistance to corrosion. This is a great advantage, especially in systems where chemical and liquid passage is intense. In addition, non-corrosive steel valves minimize the need for maintenance, but gasket control should not be neglected over time. In the long run, it is also cost-effective because the replacement time is considerably longer. For more technical information, please visit Unox’s technical support page: unox contact
Industrial Usage Areas
3-way non-corrosive ball valves are widely used in petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical and HVAC industries. However, each sector should choose a valve according to its own standards. Hygienic connections are prioritized in the food industry, but pressure tolerance becomes more important in the petrochemical industry. Therefore, information can be obtained from unox for sector-specific solutions.
Installation and Maintenance Recommendations
Flange compatibility should be carefully checked during installation. PTFE gasket is recommended for sealing, but if the system pressure is high, metal gasket can be preferred. The first tests after installation should be carried out before the system is commissioned. For more installation advice: unoxonline contact
