AAP Stainless Steel 3-Way Ball Valve, 1/4"

This AAP stainless steel ball valve is a 3-way L-port valve. It is supplied in 8 sizes from 1/4" (8mm) to 2" (50mm). A ball valve turns a ball with a hole through it between sealing seats. When the lever or handle is in line with the pipe the hole lines up with the flow and the valve is open, and a quarter turn closes it. The handle sits in line with the port, so it shows the valve position.

The maximum working temperature is 180°C and the cold working pressure is 6,895 kPa (68.95 bar), with a body in CF8M, a 316 stainless steel ball and stem, and a PTFE (Teflon) seat. It suits air, water and hot or cold corrosive fluids in harsh environments. An L-port ball connects the common port to either of the other two ports, so it diverts flow from one line to another.
