A 3 way ball valve replaces a tee fitting and two shut-off valves with a single body. Turn one handle — or one actuator — to send flow to either of two outlets, or to blend two lines into one. Fewer joints, fewer leak points, one control point.
We manufacture three way ball valves in 316 stainless steel in Taiwan, and have done since 1999: threaded, Tri-Clamp sanitary and KF vacuum versions, manual or pneumatic. ISO 9001 · CE.

L-Port vs T-Port: Which Ball Do You Need?
The difference is the passage drilled through the ball.
| Port type | Flow pattern | Typical jobs |
|---|---|---|
| Puerto L | 90° passage. Connects the common port to one side port at a time — select outlet A or outlet B. | Diverting: tank changeover, pump selection, filling two vessels from one line. |
| Puerto T | T-shaped passage. Can join two inlets into one outlet, split one inlet to two outlets, or pass straight through. | Mixing and distribution: blending lines, recirculation loops. |
Every valve on this page is made in both L-port and T-port versions — tell us which one when you request a quote.
Choose by Operation and Service
Threaded — general industrial lines
Manual 3-Way Ball Valve (MV-3M) — PT threaded 1/4″–2″, 1000 WOG, PTFE seats, lever handle. The body carries an ISO-style mounting pad, so the same valve can take a pneumatic or electric actuator later.
3-Way Pneumatic Ball Valve (MV-3DM) — PT threaded 1/4″–2″, 1000 WOG, direct ISO 5211 mount with no bracket. Double acting or spring return.
Tri-Clamp — sanitary, food & beverage
Sanitary 3 Way Ball Valve, Manual (MV-3N) — Tri-Clamp or OD-tube butt weld ends, 1/2″–2″, 1000 WOG, encapsulated PTFE seat.
Sanitary Pneumatic 3-Way Ball Valve (MV-3M-TC) — Tri-Clamp ends, 1/2″–2″, fully encapsulated PTFE seat with no cavity behind the ball. Double acting or spring return actuator.
KF / NW flange — vacuum systems
Manual 3-Way Vacuum Valve (V-3WV) — NW40 / NW50 KF flange. One lever diverts a vacuum pump between chambers or vents a line.
Pneumatic 3-Way Vacuum Ball Valve (V-3WVM) — NW40 / NW50 KF flange, double acting or spring return actuator, PTFE seats.

| MV-3N | Palanca manual | Tri-Clamp / OD-tube butt weld | 1/2″–2″ | L / T |
| MV-3M-TC | Pneumatic (DA / SR) | Abrazadera Tri-Clamp | 1/2″–2″ | L / T |
| V-3WV | Palanca manual | KF (NW) flange | NW40 / NW50 | L / T |
| V-3WVM | Pneumatic (DA / SR) | KF (NW) flange | NW40 / NW50 | L / T |
All six are 316 stainless steel bodies with PTFE seats.
Preguntas frecuentes
¿Puedo instalar un actuador en la válvula manual más adelante?
Sí, en el caso de la válvula manual roscada (MV-3M): su cuerpo cuenta con una base de montaje de tipo ISO, por lo que se puede instalar un actuador neumático o eléctrico sin necesidad de modificar las tuberías. Si desea una unidad montada de fábrica desde el primer momento, elija las versiones neumáticas.
¿Cómo elijo entre el puerto en L y el puerto en T?
Pick L-port when you want to send flow to one of two destinations and never both. Pick T-port when you need to mix two lines, feed two outlets at once, or keep a straight-through path. Both patterns are made for every model here — specify L or T when you order.
¿Qué tallas hay disponibles?
Threaded valves cover 1/4″ to 2″, sanitary Tri-Clamp valves 1/2″ to 2″, and vacuum valves come in NW40 and NW50 KF flange sizes.
¿De qué materiales están hechos el cuerpo y el asiento?
Los seis modelos cuentan con cuerpos de acero inoxidable 316 y asientos de PTFE.
¿Ofrecéis tanto modelos de derivación como de mezcla?
Yes. L-port and T-port balls are both manufactured for every model on this page — specify the port pattern when you order.
¿Hay una cantidad mínima de pedido?
No. We are the manufacturer, and small quantities are welcome. Send us the size, port pattern (L or T), end connection and operation type, and we reply within 24 hours.
