Commonly used in the processing of fluids, there are a couple of different types of three way ball valves. One of them allows for full flow in either direction while the other requires the user to perform an action to change the flow direction.
JossMin manufactures and offers a comprehensive range of Three Way Ball Valves along with complete automation designed to comply with the ASME standards. All valves offer a blow-out-proof stem along with an antistatic ball to eliminate any static charge as a standard. The Electro-Pneumatic Ball Valves are primarily offered with complete automation (i.e. along with a Pneumatic Rotary Actuator, Solenoid Valve and AFR for ease of use) in a variety of end connections.
Valve components are ultra-finished to extend seal life and deflect flex seats. To prevent atmospheric leakage and defend against pipeline stress, a multi-sealed stem and a double gasket set up ensuring positive body joint sealing is incorporated. The valves are integrated with the ISO 5211 mounting pad. A Belleville washer set over the gland and fastened with gland nuts assures zero leakage that may occur due to live loading.

The Valve works by aligning the channels in the ball with the inlets and outlets of the Valve. The valve is offered in 2 different orientations for Diverting Applications:
L-port Valve: The “L” shape cut-out of the ball delivers fluid across 90° from one port to another, generally placed with the bottom port of the valve body as the entry port.
T-port Valves: The “T” shape cut-out of the ball can also deliver from one port to another, but it can also be rotated to align with the “T” shape of the Valve such that all 3 ports can mix. Also called a T-cavity ball valve, the design allows it to have three pipe inlets and one outlet. These valves can be used for switching or mixing applications between various fluid flows.
Features:
The Valve is offered in the standard flanged end connection, however, other variety of end connections are also available. The special cavity filled design helps avoid any entrapment of media.
