3 Way (T) (L) Ball Valve | Neway

Neway Three-Way Ball Valve, T/L Bore

The Neway three-way ball valve is specified for industrial piping systems requiring flow selection, diversion, or distribution using either L-port or T-port ball configurations. Available sizes range from 1/2”–4”, with pressure ratings of ASME Class 150–300 / PN16–PN40. Flanged ends are standard. Operation can be manual, pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic. Body materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, or duplex stainless steel, selected based on process fluid and corrosion requirements.

L-Bore vs T-Bore Operation

Ball port configuration must be defined prior to procurement:

• L-bore: Switches a common inlet to one of two outlets.
• T-bore: Enables flow distribution or alternative flow paths, depending on the flow plan.
• For actuated versions, ball position, limit switches, and actuator indication must be aligned.

Technical Selection Criteria

For correct specification, confirm the following:

• Design pressure and operating temperature
• Body and trim materials
• Seat material and media compatibility
• Fire-safe, antistatic, or fugitive emission testing requirements
• Differential pressure during switching
• Required actuator torque
• Flange standard and face-to-face dimension

Neway classifies valves for oil & gas, chemical, refining, power generation, water treatment, and new energy applications. Final material selection should be process-specific, not based solely on pressure class.

Applications

Used in manifolds, skids, tank selection lines, bypasses, utilities, process water, air, inert gases, hydrocarbons, and chemical service, provided material and seal compatibility are verified.

FAQ

Is this a flow control valve?
Not primarily. It is designed for on/off selection or diversion of flow.

What information is required for ordering?
Flow plan, bore type, Class/PN, materials, seat type, actuator, and required testing.
