Maximator® 3-Way ball Valves have 3/16" orifices and are capable of safe handling of liquids and gases up to 21,000 psi pressure. Robust one-piece trunnion style stem design eliminates shear failure that is found in a two-piece stem design. There are two styles in the 3-way design:

• The 180º rotating Switching ball Valve is designed to have fluid enter in through the bottom connection and can be switched to either side connection. Also, the valve can be closed in the center "Off" position
• The 90º rotating Diverting ball Valve is designed to have fluid enter in through the bottom connection and can be diverted to either side connection There is no center off position in the diverting design

Note: ball valves are not recommended for small molecular gases (Hydrogen, Helium).
