Three-way ball valve (L-type, T-type, Y-type three-way ball valve) has compact structure, beautiful appearance and good sealing performance. This valve is suitable for the pipeline of water, steam or oil medium to change the flow direction and connect or cut off the medium in the circuit. It can realize the switching of the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. It can also connect or close the two channels that are perpendicular to each other. The pneumatic actuator can be closed tightly with the operation of rotating the air source by 90 degrees and a small torque. The completely equal valve body cavity provides a low resistance, straight-through flow path for the medium. It is generally considered that the ball valve is most suitable for direct opening and closing. The main features of the ball valve are its compact structure, easy operation and maintenance, suitable for general working media such as water, solvent, acid and natural gas, and also suitable for media with harsh working conditions, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene. The ball valve body can be integral or combined.

Three-w ay ball valve features
The three-way ball valve solves the problems of slurry, mixed-flow liquid, dust and other media in industrial production that are precipitated, easy to scale, and block during pipeline transportation, so that the valve is not tightly closed;

The switch is light, the ball is separated from the shell when the three-way ball valve is opened, there is no contact, the starting torque is small, and the rotation is flexible. When closed, the squeezing action of the hemisphere and the valve seat can remove the dirt on the sealing surface of the three-way ball valve, so that the valve can be opened and closed smoothly, with high safety factor and good sealing performance;

The eccentric structure of the sealing surface of the three-way ball valve enables the spherical surface to automatically compensate for wear, maintain the sealing of the valve, and has a long service life;

The three-way ball valve is a wear-resistant hard-sealed ball valve. Its sealing material is special, and the sealing surface must undergo special wear-resistant treatment. After treatment, the surface hardness can reach HRC65-72 degrees, so the wear resistance of the three-way ball valve is particularly good;

Valve surface paint, there are two kinds of normal temperature and high temperature. Imported paint with a temperature resistance of 600 ℃ for high temperature use. After spraying, the three-way ball valve will not burn the paint, carbonization, coking and discoloration when used at high temperature.
