Application
Three-way ball valve is isolating valve designed to redirect
the service fluid flow. It is not designed to be used for throttling or
regulating purposes. For temperatures from −60 °C to
+230 °C.
Suitable for water, steam, gas, oil, crude oil, acid, alkali and other
liquids and gases without mechanical impurities.
Approved for fluids in groups 1 (hazardous) and 2 according to
2014/68/EU.
