Gemini Valve 3-Way Ball Valves for Reliable Process Control

Three-way ball valves are a versatile solution for controlling process flow. They are most commonly configured with L-Port or T-Port flow patterns, each serving a distinct function. The ball is drilled to form either an L-shaped or T-shaped port, which determines how media is directed through the valve.

Three-way ball valves are a versatile solution for controlling process flow. They are most commonly configured with L-Port or T-Port flow patterns, each serving a distinct function. The ball is drilled to form either an L-shaped or T-shaped port, which determines how media is directed through the valve.

L-Port Flow Pattern

  • Designed to divert flow between two different destinations
  • Can also be used to draw media from multiple sources
  • Cannot be configured to have all ports open at the same time

T-Port Flow Pattern

  • Allows media to flow straight through from one side of the “T” to the other in the normal position
  • Can be configured so that in one position media flows directly through, and in another position all three ports are open simultaneously
  • Provides greater flexibility compared to L-Port valves

Actuation and Control Options

Gemini Valve three-way ball valves can be controlled in multiple ways to fit your application:

  • Manual hand lever operation
  • Pneumatic actuators for automated control
  • Electric actuators for precision and integration

Position Sensor Integration

For enhanced process monitoring, these valves can be fitted with position sensors from trusted brands, including:

  • Gemini Valve
  • IFM
  • Pepperl+Fuchs
