Hygienic 3-Way Ball Valve for easy process control
Engineered for demanding hygienic applications, this Stainless Steel 3-Way Ball Valve features threaded connections for secure, leak-free installations. Constructed from premium 304/316L stainless steel, it delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and complies with FDA, 3A, CE, and DIN standards. The polished interior (Ra≤0.8μm) prevents bacterial buildup, while the 3-way design enables versatile flow diversion in complex systems. Its threaded ends ensure rapid assembly without specialized tools, reducing downtime during maintenance. Ideal for pharmaceutical and dairy processing, this valve maintains sterile integrity in CIP/SIP environments. Robust PTFE seals withstand temperatures from -20°C to 150°C, guaranteeing zero cross-contamination during liquid transfer operations where hygiene is non-negotiable.
For optimal threaded-system integrity, pair this valve with compatible accessories: threaded gaskets ensure hermetic sealing, thread-to-triclamp adapters enable hybrid configurations, and pipe supports prevent vibration stress. These components maintain alignment, reduce thermal expansion risks, and simplify disassembly for sterilization cycles in food production lines.
