1.The three-way ball valve adopts an integrated structure with a four-side valve seat sealing configuration. It has fewer flange connections, high reliability, and a lightweight design.
2.The three-way ball valve is available in T-type and L-type configurations, offering long service life, large flow capacity, and low resistance.
3.The three-way ball valve is available in single-acting and double-acting types. The single-acting type features that in the event of power source failure, the ball valve will remain in the state required by the control system.
Ball valves and gate valves belong to the same valve family. The difference is that the closing member is a ball, which rotates around the centerline of the valve body to achieve opening and closing. Ball valves are mainly used in pipelines for shut-off, distribution, and changing the flow direction of media. Ball valves are a new type of valve that has been widely adopted in recent years.
Materials of Q45F Three-Way Ball Valve
Part name / Material GB / Material ASTM
Valve body, bonnet: WCB / A216-WCB
Sealing ring: PTFE, Counterpoint polyphenyl / PTFE, Counterpoint polyphenyl

Advantages of Q45F Three-Way Ball Valve
1.Low fluid resistance. Its resistance coefficient is equivalent to that of a pipe section of the same length.
2.Simple structure, small volume, and light weight.
3.Tight and reliable sealing. Currently, sealing surface materials for ball valves widely use plastics with good sealing performance, and they are also widely used in vacuum systems.
4.Easy operation and quick opening and closing. Only 90-degree rotation is needed from fully open to fully closed, facilitating remote control.
5.Easy maintenance. The ball valve has a simple structure, and the sealing ring is generally removable, making disassembly and replacement convenient.
6.When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surfaces of the ball and seat are isolated from the medium, so medium flow does not cause erosion of the sealing surfaces.
7.Wide application range. Available from small diameters of a few millimeters to large diameters of several meters, applicable from high vacuum to high pressure.
Working Modes of Q45F Three-Way Ball Valve
L-type flow path three-way 4-side seat ball valve uses 2-side seats with balanced force, ensuring reliable sealing on the closed passage. Mainly used for flow path switching.
T-type flow path three-way 4-side seat ball valve uses 4-side seats with balanced force, ensuring reliable sealing on the closed passage. Mainly used for分流, mixing, switching, and full opening of three passages.

High-platform ball valves can be classified by passage position into straight-through, three-way, and right-angle types. The latter two types are used for distributing media and changing media flow direction.
Installation and Maintenance Precautions for Q45F Three-Way Ball Valve
1.Sufficient space must be reserved for the handle rotation.
2.Should not be used for throttling.
3.Ball valves with transmission mechanisms should be installed vertically.
The working principle of the three-way ball valve is to rotate the ball to open or close the valve. The ball valve is light and easy to operate, small in size, can be made in large diameters, has reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, and the sealing surfaces are usually closed, making them不易被介质冲蚀. They are widely used across various industries.
