Three Way (3 Way) Ball Valves are used to divert the flow of fluid. They come in Flange End or Screwed end configurations and can be either L or T Type. They can be supplied either with a handle or with a common lever. Optionally a pressure equalization line can also be provided. Two such valves can be coupled together by a common lever to work simultaneously and are known as Double 3-way valve or 3-Way Double Valve. These valves can be supplied in various configurations as shown under Product Specifications.
