Description
The Georg Fischer 3-way vertical L-port ball valve with threaded connections is designed for applications requiring controlled interconnection between two inlet lines, combined with the flexibility of a vertical inlet arrangement. The vertical L-port configuration provides a clearly defined flow path, making it ideal for selection and changeover duties where simultaneous flow paths are not required.
Manufactured from PVCu and fitted with FPM body seals and PTFE ball seals, the valve offers enhanced chemical resistance alongside smooth operation and dependable shut-off. Female threaded union ends allow straightforward connection to compatible male threaded fittings, while the vertical inlet incorporates a metric solvent cement spigot for compact and efficient installation layouts. The valve end and union nut dimensions are compatible with Georg Fischer Type 543 designs, supporting easy replacement or system upgrades.
Supplied with a lockable lever as standard, the valve allows unrestricted 360° operation and includes an enclosed 90° turn limiter that can be positioned as required to define switching points. Integrated stainless steel mounting inserts make the valve suitable for automation, with options for electric or pneumatic actuators and position feedback modules.
