Description
This Rp 1" BSP female 3-way L-bore double acting pneumatic brass ball valve controls flow direction across three ports. The L-bore ball has two positions - switch flow from the inlet to one of two alternative outlet lines. It requires air pressure on both ports to switch between flow positions, and holds its last position on loss of air pressure.
The actuator operates across an ambient temperature range of -20 to 80 °C, suited for outdoor and industrial environments. No manual override is fitted - the valve cannot be operated without an air supply.
PTFE ball seal and stem seal make it suitable for water, compressed air, oils, fuels, solvents, alcohols, lubricants, and gas. Avoid use with strong acids, ammonia, or seawater. Rated to 40 bar at 20 °C, media temperature range -20 to 130 °C (-4 to 266 °F).
Pros:
- PTFE ball seal and stem seal - suitable for wide range of media.
- Ambient temperature -20 to 80 °C - suited for outdoor and industrial environments.
- Two-position L-bore - simple and reliable flow switching between two lines.
Cons:
- Brass not suitable for strong acids, ammonia, or seawater - check stainless steel variants.
- No manual override - valve cannot be operated without air supply.
- No defined fail-safe position - valve holds last position on air loss.
