Description
The Georg Fischer 3-way vertical L-port ball valve is designed for applications requiring controlled interconnection between two inlet lines, with a vertical inlet arrangement to suit compact or space-restricted installations. The vertical L-port configuration enables positive changeover between flow paths while maintaining clear separation, making it ideal for selection and switching duties within PVCu pipework systems.
Manufactured from PVCu and equipped with FPM body seals and PTFE ball seals, the valve provides smooth operation, dependable shut-off and strong resistance to corrosion and a wide range of chemicals. The vertical inlet is supplied with a metric solvent cement spigot, while the remaining connections use solvent cement unionised sockets, allowing secure integration into PVCu systems using a fast and reliable jointing method. The valve end and union nut dimensions are compatible with Georg Fischer Type 543 designs, supporting straightforward replacement or system upgrades.
Supplied with a lockable lever as standard, the valve offers unrestricted 360° operation, supported by an enclosed 90° turn limiter that can be positioned as required to define switching points. Integrated stainless steel mounting inserts allow easy installation of electric or pneumatic actuators and position feedback modules.
