Krishna Industries – Trusted Industrial Valve Partner

Introduction to 3 Way Ball Valve

In modern process industries, fluid control is not only about ON/OFF isolation—it is about diverting, mixing, and controlling flow direction efficiently and safely. The 3 Way Ball Valve is a highly versatile industrial valve designed to manage multiple flow paths within a single compact unit. It eliminates the need for multiple valves and complex piping layouts, making it ideal for advanced piping systems.

A 3 way ball valve allows fluid to either:

• Divert flow from one inlet to two outlets
• Mix flow from two inlets into one outlet
• Redirect flow between two different lines

Industries that commonly use 3 way ball valves include:

• Chemical processing plants
• Pharmaceutical industries
• Water treatment plants
• Oil & gas pipelines
• HVAC systems
• Food & beverage manufacturing

This valve is closely associated with other industrial valve types such as 2 Way Ball Valve, Floating Ball Valve, Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve, Flanged Ball Valve, and Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve, all of which serve different but complementary functions in fluid control systems.

At Krishna Industries, Ahmedabad, we manufacture and supply high-quality 3 Way Ball Valves designed to meet industrial standards for pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility. With a strong presence in Gujarat and across India, we are recognized as a reliable industrial valve supplier offering consistent quality and competitive pricing.

What is a 3 Way Ball Valve?

A 3 way ball valve is a quarter-turn rotary valve that uses a drilled ball with three ports. By rotating the ball 90 degrees, the valve changes flow direction between connected ports.

Types of 3 Way Ball Valve

1. L-Port (Diverter Type)

• Used for diverting flow between two outlets
• Common in switching applications
• Cannot mix two inlets simultaneously

2. T-Port (Mixing Type)

• Allows mixing of two inlets into one outlet
• Can distribute one inlet to two outlets
• More flexible flow combinations

Krishna Industries supplies both L-port and T-port designs as per customer application.

Key Features of Krishna Industries 3 Way Ball Valve

Applications of 3 Way Ball Valve

1. Chemical transfer lines
2. Water treatment plants
3. Boiler feed systems
4. Oil & gas flow diversion
5. Pharmaceutical mixing lines
6. HVAC systems
7. Industrial automation systems
8. Steam distribution systems

Advantages Over Traditional Valve Setup

Using two 2-way ball valves to achieve diversion increases:

• Installation cost
• Maintenance points
• Leakage risk
• Space requirement

A single 3 way ball valve simplifies the system by:

• Reducing fittings
• Lowering installation cost
• Minimizing maintenance
• Improving reliability
