1/2" T-Port 3-Way Ball Valve – 316 Stainless Steel
1/2" T-Port 3-Way Ball Valve for Flow Diversion and Mixing Applications
The 1/2" T-port 3-way ball valve is designed for threaded piping systems requiring flow diversion, flow mixing, or multi-directional flow control. Unlike conventional two-way ball valves, a T-port valve allows multiple flow paths to be connected simultaneously, making it suitable for applications where fluids must be mixed, diverted, or distributed between different process lines.
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this valve provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability in demanding industrial, process, chemical, and fluid handling environments. The standard port (reduced port) design offers a compact flow path while maintaining reliable performance in threaded piping systems.
Rated to 1000 PSI, this threaded 3-way ball valve features female NPT connections for straightforward installation into standard piping systems. PTFE seats provide dependable sealing performance, while the blow-out proof stem, locking handle, and integrated mounting pad support safe operation and future automation capability. Common applications include process control systems, chemical handling equipment, water treatment systems, industrial fluid distribution, OEM equipment, and instrumentation systems.
