Descrizione del prodotto<\/h2>\n

A sanitary 3 way ball valve<\/strong>, manual. 316 stainless, polished, with Tri-Clamp or American OD-tube butt weld<\/strong> ends, 1\/2\u2033 to 2\u2033, rated 1000 WOG. Turn the lever and the flow goes somewhere else \u2014 no air line, no wiring, no PLC.<\/p>\n

Two things decide whether this valve works for you, and both of them are decisions you make when you order, not afterwards. L-port or T-port<\/strong>, e which seat<\/strong>. Get either one wrong and the valve is scrap. Both are below.<\/p>\n

L-Port or T-Port? This Is Where People Buy the Wrong Valve<\/h2>\n

They look identical from the outside. Inside, the hole through the ball is a different shape, and they do completely different jobs.<\/p>\n

\n\"Sanitary
L-port diverts between two ports. T-port can feed two at once. The ball is the only difference.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Seat Decides Your Temperature Limit<\/h2>\n

The seat is PTFE either way. What changes is how much of the ball it wraps.<\/p>\n

Semi-encapsulated<\/strong>
(PTFE wraps part of the ball)<\/td>\n		\u221220\u00b0C to 180\u00b0C<\/strong><\/td>\nHot water, hot process lines, anything running above 70\u00b0C. It takes far more heat, but leaves more space around the ball.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

This is a real trade-off, not a marketing choice.<\/strong> If you are running product that must not be trapped, take the encapsulated seat and live with 70\u00b0C. If your line runs hot, take the semi-encapsulated seat. Tell us the medium and the temperature and we will tell you which one you need<\/strong> \u2014 we are not going to sell you a seat that fails in six months.<\/p>\n

Manual Only \u2014 If You Want It Automated, Buy the Other One<\/h2>\n

This valve is built to be turned by hand. It has no actuator mounting pad<\/strong>, so you cannot bolt an air actuator onto it later.<\/p>\n

If you need the valve to divert on a signal from a PLC, buy the sanitary pneumatic 3-way ball valve<\/a> instead \u2014 same valve, same L\/T port choice, with a rack-and-pinion air actuator on top. Better to know now than after the valve arrives.<\/p>\n

Cleaning It<\/h2>\n

Undo the clamps and the valve comes off the line. Undo the body bolts and it comes apart in your hands \u2014 ball out, seats out, everything you need to inspect and swab. Nothing needs cutting, and nothing needs a special tool.<\/p>\n

The encapsulated seat is the one that matters here: by filling the dead space around the ball, it leaves the bore smooth, with no crevice for product to lodge in and no pocket for a swab to miss.<\/p>\n
