3-Way Ball Valve

A 3-way ball valve is used to divert, distribute, or mix flow within a pipeline system — all with a single quarter-turn. Typical applications include process and chemical plants, HVAC systems, water supply networks, and industrial automation. Fergo stocks over 250 models ready to ship — browse the full range.

Fergo supplies 3-way ball valves in the following materials:

  • Nickel-plated brass – for water, air, and neutral media up to 25 bar

  • Stainless steel 1.4408 – for aggressive media, high temperatures up to +180 °C, and up to 63 bar

  • Ductile iron + PFA lining – for highly corrosive chemical media

All materials are available from stock. Technical data sheets available on request.

An L-port 3-way ball valve always connects two of the three ports while the third remains closed. It is ideal for diverting flow between two outlets (A→B or A→C) with a 90° turn. A T-port 3-way ball valve can connect all three ports simultaneously, enabling both mixing (two inlets → one outlet) and splitting (one inlet → two outlets). The correct choice depends on the switching function required in your system. Our technical team is happy to advise — contact us.

Yes. Many manual 3-way ball valves can be retrofitted with a pneumatic or electric actuator at a later stage. The requirement is an ISO 5211-compatible mounting flange on the valve. On request, our team handles actuator sizing, assembly, and delivery of the complete mounted set. Request a quote.
