• Heating jacket connections: 3/8" or 1/2", depending on valve size

T-Port Operation

The T-pattern ball enables multiple flow configurations between three branches. Typical uses include bypass, recirculation, tank selection, or mixing two lines to a common outlet. Not intended for continuous throttling without assessment of pressure drop, flow velocity, and seat wear.

Heating Jacket

The jacket is specified where the process medium increases in viscosity, solidifies, or crystallizes at lower temperatures. Common applications: syrups, fats, waxes, resins, chocolate, and chemicals requiring temperature maintenance. Thermal supply must be calculated considering line insulation and product residence time.

Sealing and Options

Standard configuration includes 4 PTFE ball seats, 3 PTFE sleeve seals, double PTFE stem seal, and FKM stem O-ring. On request: glass-filled PTFE seats (up to +170°C), carbographite-filled PTFE (up to +180°C), PTFE with stainless steel (up to +200°C), UHMW-PE (up to +80°C).

Certifications

Optional antistatic design ATEX II 2G Ex h IIC T4 Gb / II 2D Ex h IIIC T135°C Db and M.O.C.A. CE 1935/2004 compliance for food contact available on request.

FAQ

When to select over 300101C?
Use when the process line requires DIN 11851 connections instead of ISO 228 threaded.

Is it suitable for CIP?
Can be used in CIP lines if installation geometry, ball cavity drainage, and seal compatibility are verified.
