Product Name
Sanitary Manual 3-Way Ball Valve
Product Summary
Hygienic Flow Diversion for Sensitive Production Lines.
The Sanitary Manual 3-Way Ball Valve is designed for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical systems that require efficient flow switching without compromising purity. Constructed from polished 316 Stainless Steel, this valve allows operators to divert or mix fluids between different pipelines while maintaining a sterile, bacteria-free environment.
Product Description
This valve features a multi-port design (available in T-Port or L-Port) with sanitary connections (Clamp or Weld). Unlike industrial 3-way valves, the sanitary version is finished to a high polish and features cavity-free seats to prevent product entrapment. It is the ideal solution for diverting product from a processing line to a storage tank or switching between two different ingredient sources.
