• Uses:
• ● Used mixing valves or as diverter or selector valves.
• Description:
• ● Three way Ball valves have 3 Ports and come in two configuration styles, the L-Port and the T-Port.
• Advantages:
• ● An Easy way to select flow from 1 of 2 sources or to divert flow to 1 of 2 outlets.
• ● An easy way to combine flow from 2 sources.
  
• ● One Item replaces a Tee fitting and multiple ball valves, which would be needed to do the same function.
• Operation:
• ● They are easy to use, with a quarter turn of the handle flow can be diverted from one port to another.
• Reduced Port:
• ● A reduced port is standard for a 3 way ball valve.
• Threaded:
• ● Will connect easily to any application with threads.
• Material:
• ● Reliable and made from long lasting stainless steel 316, these valve work well in most applications.

 Different Types:  

• ● 3 way ball valves are used to are used to divert flow.
• ● They have 3 ports and come in two Styles "L-Port" and "T-Port", depending on how the Ball is drilled.
• ● The L-Port has two openings drilled at 90 degree's
• ● The T-Port has 3 openings drilled in a T-Shape.

- The "L-Port" - The Diverter Valve (Input Selector)

• ● Allows for flow to occur between two ports in an L-shaped formation.
• ● Also known as a diverter valve because they are most often used to divert flow form a common inlet into one of two outlets.
• ● Can also funtion as an input selector for a pump switching between one of two sources.
• ● They can shut off all flow.

- The "T-Port"- The Mixing Valve

• ● Allows for flow to occur between any two ports as well as all three ports simultaneously in a T-Formation.
• ● You can direct flow to either of the 2 ports just like the L-Port, and you can have flow through all ports simultaneously. 
• ● Also called Mixing Valves because they are widely used to mix the flow coming from two sources.
• ● They cannot shut off all flow. (They can allow all ports to flow like a Tee Fitting.)
