Description
This premium PVCu 3 way ball valve with L port configuration and EPDM seals is designed for reliable flow control and diversion in a wide range of industrial and commercial pipework systems. Its robust construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for handling many water-based and compatible chemical media.
Available in 25mm, 32mm, 50mm and 63mm sizes, this valve is simple to install into new or existing PVCu pipelines. The quarter-turn operation allows easy switching between flow paths, while the L port design enables effective diversion or mixing duties in process, treatment and services pipework.
Product Features
- Durable PVCu 3 way ball valve suitable for use in industrial, commercial and process pipework systems.
- L port configuration for controlled diversion of flow between two outlets or circuits.
- Fitted with EPDM seals for reliable sealing performance and resistance to many water-based media.
- Offered in four popular metric sizes: 25mm, 32mm, 50mm and 63mm for system flexibility.
- Quarter-turn ball operation for quick and simple manual flow control.
- Chemically resistant PVCu body, ideal for non-metallic pipework installations.
- Lightweight yet robust design to ease handling and reduce installation loads on pipe runs.
Key Features and Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an L port 3 way ball valve do compared with a standard 2 way valve?
An L port 3 way ball valve allows you to divert flow between two different outlets or circuits using a single valve body, rather than simply opening or closing a single line. The internal ball has an L-shaped bore that can connect the inlet to one outlet, the other outlet, or in some configurations isolate one leg, giving flexible control in distribution and mixing applications.
Can this PVCu 3 way ball valve be used with hot water or chemicals?
The PVCu body and EPDM seals provide good resistance to many water-based media and certain chemicals, typically at low to moderate temperatures. Suitability always depends on the exact temperature, pressure and chemical involved, so the media must be checked against PVCu and EPDM compatibility and the system designed within the manufacturer’s recommended operating limits.
How do I choose the correct size of valve for my pipework?
Select the valve size to match the nominal bore of your existing PVCu pipework, choosing from 25mm, 32mm, 50mm or 63mm options. Using the same nominal size helps maintain flow characteristics and makes installation easier when using compatible PVCu fittings and connectors.
