Air Actuated 3-Way SS L-Port Valve 3/8",Double Acting

Valworx 523203A stainless steel full port three way ball valves are designed for use with water, air, oil, and other media compatible with the materials of construction. Use as an L-port diverter valve (direct flow from center inlet port to either side outlet port 1 or 2) or as a selector valve (two separate inlet ports and one center outlet port). There is no flow shutoff position with this type valve. Double acting actuators use an air pressure signal (80-120PSI) to change the valve to position 1 or position 2. Maximum working temperature of assemble is 180 °F. Order optional valve mounting kit to extend media temperature to 300 °F (suitable for steam up to 50 PSI max. with kit). 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. Valve is tested per API 598, can be mounted in any orientation.
