3-way ball valves are a versatile solution for flow management in industrial piping systems. Used in sectors such as chemical, energy or water treatment, these ball valves allow redirecting, mixing or isolating the flow of liquids and gases.
What Are 3-Way Ball Valves?
3-way ball valves are a versatile solution for managing flows in industrial piping systems. Widely used in industries such as chemical, energy, and water treatment, these ball valves allow for redirecting, mixing, or isolating the flow of liquids and gases.
These valves incorporate a perforated ball inside, with three ports (inlets/outlets). Through a rotational ball mechanism, they enable the flow of a fluid in different directions, configurations in L-shape or T-shape, making them essential tools for flexible flow management.

Applications of 3-Way Ball Valves in Industry
3-way ball valves are used in situations requiring multiple pipelines for channeling liquids or diverting fluids in different directions.
- In the chemical industry, they mix and distribute chemicals in various manufacturing processes.
- In water treatment, they direct and combine flows in purification, filtration, or chemical dosing systems.
- In the energy and petroleum sector, these valves redirect oil and gas flows in refineries and platforms.
- They are also used in HVAC systems and other industrial processes requiring quick flow changes.
When selecting a 3-way ball valve, consider factors such as configuration type (L or T), material compatibility, system pressure and temperature, and maintenance requirements. FHT Valves provides expert guidance to choose the most suitable solution for any application, ensuring maximum system efficiency and reliability.
