Valworx 576500A air actuated all-stainless sanitary 3-way ball valves are typically used for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care and pet care applications where sanitary construction is required. Both the valve and actuator are made of 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance. These T port valves can be set-up in any one of four different flow patterns (T1-T4) in the field by simply moving the valve stem (factory setup T2 flow pattern). Highly polished product contact area (8- 12 Ra finish) and Dyneon PTFE ball seats are standard. Triple stem seal design is live-loaded and self-adjusting, compensating for wear, pressure, and temperature fluctuations.
