Three-Way Ball Valve

Description

Overview of KNKE Three-Way Ball Valve

The KNKE Three-Way Ball Valve is designed for reliable performance in fluid distribution and flow control. With T-type and L-type configurations, it can connect or cut off three orthogonal pipelines, allowing for splitting and merging of fluids. This valve is compact, easy to install, and designed for use in high-density pipeline systems such as blast furnace water supply systems and circulating water systems. The valve’s body is precision-cast, ensuring excellent performance and durability, while its sealing materials provide high resistance to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures.
