Air Actuated Brass 3-Way Ball Valves- Scotch Yoke

Valworx air actuated 3-way brass ball valves function as a T-port or L-port diverter valve. A spring return actuator (Series 5417/5419) requires a pneumatic pilot signal to change the valve position, springs will return the valve to the normal failsafe position. Double acting actuators (Series 5416/5418) use air pressure in both directions to change the valve position. Advantages of air actuated ball valves over other type valves may include: higher flow rates, higher pressures, higher temperatures, wider media compatibility, straight through flow path, reduced water hammer, and use in hazardous environments.
