Description
The Georg Fischer 3-way L-port ball valve is engineered for controlled changeover duties where flow must be directed between two outlets while isolating the third port. Unlike T-port designs that allow multiple simultaneous flow paths, the L-port configuration provides a clear, defined flow direction, making it ideal for switching and selection applications within PVCu pipework systems.
Constructed from PVCu and fitted with EPDM body seals and PTFE ball seals, the valve delivers smooth operation, reliable shut-off and strong chemical resistance. Socket union ends are designed for solvent cement welding, allowing secure installation while retaining the ability to fully demount the valve for maintenance. The valve end and union nut geometry are compatible with Georg Fischer Type 546 designs, simplifying replacement and system upgrades.
The valve is supplied with a lockable lever as standard and offers unrestricted 360° operation, supported by an enclosed 90° turn limiter that can be positioned as required. Integrated stainless steel mounting inserts make the valve suitable for automation, with options for electric or pneumatic actuators and position feedback modules.
