With a single PFA-lined ball and a 90° turn, it diverts the flow of an aggressive acid between two alternative destinations (L-port) or mixes two corrosive streams into a single outlet (T-port) — without any metallic surface contacting the fluid in any operating position.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Available in diameters from 1\" to 4\" with ANSI 150 flanges and ISO 5211 mounting pad for automation with pneumatic or electric actuators.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a specifically anti-corrosion 3-way valve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  In aggressive chemical installations, the diversion and mixing of corrosive fluids is a frequent operational necessity — selection between two acid sources, product diversion between two storage tanks, mixing of two reagents before the addition point, reagent recirculation during startup. The conventional alternative of two coordinated 2-way valves is possible, but has specific disadvantages in aggressive acid installations:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore flanged connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every flanged connection in an HF or ClO₂ line is a potential leak point — the 3-way valve reduces the number of connections to three instead of four.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRisk of period with both circuits open:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the control logic fails when switching between two 2-way valves, there may be a period where both circuits are simultaneously open — in aggressive acid lines, this can be a safety incident.
