A quarter turn of the lever opens a smooth bore matched to the tube inner diameter, so product flows through without a step or a pocket. Buyers also call this style a tri clover ball valve or a hygienic ball valve; the clamp ferrule ends are the same.<\/p>\n<p>Two end styles cover both ways hygienic lines are built: Tri-Clamp ferrules (V-3N) for quick, tool-free assembly, and extended OD-tube butt-weld ends (V-3N-L3) for permanently welded runs. The three-piece body unbolts in place, so seats and ball can be inspected, cleaned or replaced without cutting the valve out of the line. Sizes 1\/2\u2033 to 4\u2033 in both versions. 316 is stocked; 304 (CF8) is available on request.<\/p>\n<h2>Tri-Clamp or Butt Weld?<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;margin:12px 0\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px;text-align:left\"><\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px;text-align:left\">Tri-Clamp (V-3N)<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px;text-align:left\">Extended Butt Weld (V-3N-L3)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px\"><b>Joint<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px\">Clamp ferrule \u2014 tool-free to install, open and inspect<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px\">Welded OD-tube ends (sanitary tube O.D.) \u2014 a permanent, smooth-bore joint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px\"><b>Ideal para<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px\">Lines that are opened and cleaned often<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #dddddd;padding:8px\">Permanently welded runs; the extended ends keep welding heat away from the seals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Both are available across the full 1\/2\u2033\u20134\u2033 range, and you can mix them on one order.<\/p>\n<h2>Cavity Filled Ball Valve Seat: Fully or Semi Encapsulated PTFE<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of a plain seat ring, the PTFE seat wraps further around the ball and fills the body cavity where product could otherwise collect.

Both end styles use the same centre section, so one spare-parts kit serves the whole line.<\/p>\n<h2>Aplicaciones<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Breweries, wineries and distilleries:<\/b> fermenter outlets, racking arms, sample points and bright-tank transfer lines, where the Tri-Clamp ends let the valve come out for cleaning between batches.<\/li>\n<li><b>Food processing with viscous or crystallising product:<\/b> syrups, sauces, chocolate and concentrates on batch lines that change product often \u2014 the full-port bore and cavity filled seat leave less room for product to hide between runs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Access points versus main runs:<\/b> Tri-Clamp (V-3N) at points that are opened, inspected or sampled; extended butt weld (V-3N-L3) on permanent runs that stay in the line and are cleaned in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Need automated on\/off?

The ferrules join with a clamp and gasket, so the valve comes out of the line without tools. Tri clover ball valve and hygienic ball valve are other names for the same style.<\/p>\n<h3>Tri-Clamp or butt weld \u2014 which ends should I choose?<\/h3>\n<p>Tri-Clamp if the line is taken apart and cleaned often: the clamp opens without tools. Extended butt weld (V-3N-L3) if the valve lives in a permanently welded run \u2014 the long ends keep welding heat away from the PTFE seats.<\/p>\n<h3>What does the cavity filled (encapsulated) seat do?<\/h3>\n<p>The PTFE seat wraps around the ball and fills the body cavity where product could otherwise collect. The fully encapsulated seat fills the most cavity and is rated \u221220 to +80 \u00b0C; the semi encapsulated seat is rated \u221220 to +180 \u00b0C. Both are available on V-3N and V-3N-L3 \u2014 tell us which your process needs.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la temperatura nominal?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the seat: \u221220 to +180 \u00b0C with the semi encapsulated PTFE seat, \u221220 to +80 \u00b0C with the fully encapsulated seat. Pressure rating is 1000 WOG for both.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfSe puede desmontar la v\u00e1lvula para limpiarla?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The three-piece body unbolts in place, so you can inspect the bore, clean the internals or replace the seats without cutting the valve out of the line.<\/p>\n<h3>Is 304 stainless available?<\/h3>\n<p>316 (CF8M) is the stock material. 304 (CF8) is made on request \u2014 state it on the enquiry.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfPuedo combinar extremos Tri-Clamp y de soldadura a tope en un mismo pedido?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Both are available across the 1\/2\u2033\u20134\u2033 range; state the size and connection for each line item.<\/p>\n<h3>What decides the price of a tri clamp ball valve?<\/h3>\n<p>Size, end style (clamp or extended weld), seat type (fully or semi encapsulated), material (316 stock or 304 on request) and quantity. Send line sizes and end style and we quote each item.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es el pedido m\u00ednimo?<\/h3>\n<p>No minimum order quantity \u2014 we accept orders of any size, including small trial orders.
