Multiport 3-Way Ball Valve: The Versatile Flow Solution
A FlowBiz 3-Way Ball Valve features three ports (openings) that allow for advanced flow configurations that a standard 2-way valve cannot achieve. By rotating the ball, users can switch between different flow paths, making it the "first choice" for distribution and mixing systems.
Key Operational Capabilities
Our 3-way valves are engineered to perform six critical functions within a single unit:
- Shut-off: Completely stop the flow in all directions.
- Switching: Toggle flow between two different sources (Inlet A to Outlet vs. Inlet B to Outlet).
- Combining: Mix media from two separate sequences into one common discharge line.
- Alternating: Direct flow between two different destinations.
- Diverting: Move flow coming from a single source to a new destination.
- Splitting: Divide a single incoming stream between two outgoing destinations simultaneously.

Advantages of FlowBiz Multiport Engineering
- Simplified Piping Design: One 3-way valve can replace two or even three standard 2-way valves, significantly reducing the number of joints and potential leak paths.
- Flow Regulation: Features both fully unlocked and locked positions to ensure safety during high-pressure oil and gas sequences.
- Precise Diverting: Ideal for tank-to-tank transfers, such as diverting oil flow from a primary storage tank to a secondary processing unit without interrupting the pump cycle.
- Modular Actuation: Can be easily equipped with position indicators, pneumatic actuators, or electric motors for automated process control.
Strategic Industrial Applications
- Oil & Gas: Switching between different fuel sources or storage tanks.
- Water Treatment: Diverting water between filtration and backwash cycles.
- Food & Beverage: Mixing ingredients or diverting fluids for CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles.
- Chemical Processing: Combining reactive media in controlled sequences.
