Description
A 3-way ball valve is a versatile flow control device featuring a spherical closure unit with three ports for directing flow. It allows fluid or gas to flow through, block, or redirect the flow via different combinations of inlet and outlet ports. Commonly used in industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and water treatment, these valves offer efficient control over fluid distribution, enabling diverse applications with varying flow requirements and directional needs.
