Description
The pneumatically actuated Durapipe 3-way T-port ball valve is designed for automated systems where flow diversion, distribution, or mixing is required within a PVCu pipeline. The T-port configuration allows multiple flow paths depending on valve position, making it suitable for more complex control duties than standard isolation valves.
Manufactured from PVCu, the DP PVCu TK 3-Way Ball Valve provides a lightweight yet durable solution with excellent resistance to corrosion and a wide range of chemicals. EPDM seals are supplied as standard, ensuring reliable sealing performance across the full operating temperature range. Solvent weld union ends allow the valve to be securely installed into PVCu pipework using solvent cement, while still enabling full valve demounting for maintenance or replacement.
The Prisma Pneumatic Actuator features a lightweight, corrosion-resistant design with a fully protective IP67 housing and is approved to SIL3 and ATEX standards. Spring return operation provides a defined fail-safe position on loss of air supply, while double-acting variants are available on request. Designed specifically for use with thermoplastic valves, the actuator is silicone-free and can be fitted with a wide range of control and feedback accessories, including solenoid valves, positioners and limit switches.
This product is delivered fully assembled, made up from the following parts:
- 1x Durapipe PVCu 3-Way T Port Ball Valve
- 1x Prisma Pneumatic Actuator (Model dependent on size)
- 1x FIP EasyFit Mounting Kit
