Description
This premium PVCu 3 way ball valve with T port configuration is designed for efficient and reliable fluid control in a wide range of piping installations. Manufactured from rigid PVCu with EPDM seals, it offers excellent chemical resistance and long service life, making it ideal for handling water and many industrial fluids.
Suitable for use in process plants, water treatment systems, irrigation layouts and general industrial pipework, this compact 3 way valve allows easy diversion, mixing or distribution of flow through three ports. Available in 25mm, 32mm, 50mm and 63mm sizes, it integrates neatly into standard plastic pipe systems to deliver precise and corrosion-resistant performance.
Product Features
- 3 way T port configuration for diverting, mixing or distributing flow between three pipe lines.
- Durable PVCu body providing excellent corrosion and chemical resistance in demanding environments.
- EPDM seals for reliable, leak-tight performance with water and a wide range of compatible fluids.
- Available in 25mm, 32mm, 50mm and 63mm sizes to suit common plastic piping systems.
- Full-bore design helps minimise pressure drop and maintain efficient flow rates.
- Lever-operated ball mechanism for quick, quarter-turn open/close operation.
- Compact, lightweight construction for straightforward installation and handling.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides versatile flow control, allowing a single valve to replace multiple fittings in complex pipe layouts.
- Resists corrosion from moisture and many chemicals, reducing maintenance and extending system life.
- EPDM sealing elements help ensure secure, drip-free connections to protect surrounding equipment and floors.
- Simple quarter-turn operation makes it easy to adjust or isolate flow quickly, even in tight spaces.
- Full-bore passage supports efficient flow, helping to reduce energy use in pumped systems.
- Lightweight PVCu design is easier to install than metal alternatives, helping to cut installation time and effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a T port 3 way ball valve and a standard 2 way valve?
A T port 3 way ball valve has three ports and a specially drilled ball that allows flow to be directed between different combinations of these ports. This enables diverting or mixing of flows using a single valve, whereas a standard 2 way valve only opens or closes flow along one line.
Is this PVCu 3 way ball valve suitable for hot water or aggressive chemicals?
The valve is designed for use with water and many compatible chemical solutions within the temperature and pressure limits of PVCu and EPDM. It is not generally recommended for very hot water or highly aggressive chemicals. Always check the temperature rating and chemical compatibility of PVCu and EPDM with your specific media before installation.
How do I choose the correct size of 3 way ball valve for my system?
Select the valve size to match the nominal bore of your existing pipework, choosing from 25mm, 32mm, 50mm or 63mm options. Using a valve that matches the pipe diameter helps maintain flow rates and minimise pressure drop. If in doubt, refer to your system design or consult a qualified installer.
