4 Way Ball Valve

4 way ball valve is a type of ball valve that features a ball with four ports.There is a "cross" or "L" shaped channel in the ball, and the flow path of the fluid is controlled by the rotation of the ball. The four ports usually include an inlet, an outlet and two additional outlets, which can achieve the distribution, merging or switching of fluids.Four-way ball valves are used in chemical and petroleum industries, HVAC systems, water treatment and energy industries, etc.

Main Specifications of 4 Way Ball Valve

Applications of 4-Way Ball Valves:

1. Heating Systems:

   • Used in district heating and underfloor heating systems to control the flow of hot water or other fluids to different parts of the system.

2. Hydraulic Systems:

   • Commonly used to control the direction of hydraulic fluid in machinery, allowing for better flow management and enabling complex operations, such as switching between different modes of operation in heavy machinery.

3. Mixing and Diverting Systems:

   • Employed in applications where two or more streams of fluid need to be mixed or diverted to multiple pathways, such as in chemical, pharmaceutical, or food and beverage industries.

4. Process Control:

   • In industrial processes, 4-way ball valves regulate fluid flow for controlling various operations, such as mixing, dividing, or redirecting fluids in production lines, reactors, or heat exchangers.

5. Water Treatment:

   • Used in water treatment facilities for controlling the flow of water through different treatment stages, such as filtration, chemical dosing, or backwashing.

6. Marine Applications:

   • Used in ships and offshore oil rigs to control the flow of water, oil, or gas between various systems, ensuring that flow can be directed to different parts as needed.

7. Cooling Systems:

   • Applied in liquid cooling systems for computers, servers, and industrial machinery to manage the flow of cooling liquids through different circuits.

Advantages of Our 4-Way Ball Valve:

1. Versatile Operation Modes:

   • Our 4-way ball valve is designed to offer flexible operation options: lever, gear, electric, and pneumatic. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, whether you need manual control for simplicity or automated systems for enhanced precision.

2. High-Quality Material Selection:

   • Built with durable materials such as WCB (Carbon Steel), LCB (Low-Temperature Carbon Steel), CF8 (Stainless Steel 304), CF8M (Stainless Steel 316), and SS321, our valve ensures long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding conditions. These materials offer excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and thermal stability, making the valve suitable for use in both standard and extreme environments.

3. Leak-Free Performance:

   • With a Zero Leakage design, our valve ensures a tight seal and reliable operation even under high pressure. This is crucial for industries like chemical processing, oil and gas, and hydraulic systems, where leaks can lead to serious safety concerns and system inefficiencies.

4. Fire-Safe and Safe Operation:

   • Our valve features a fire-safe design, ensuring that it maintains its sealing integrity even in the event of a fire. The anti-static and anti-blowout stem features further enhance the valve’s safety, making it a secure choice for potentially hazardous environments, such as petrochemical plants and oil rigs.

5. Easy Installation and Maintenance:

   • The ISO 5211 Mounting Pad ensures simple installation of actuators, allowing for efficient integration into automated systems. With soft sealing materials like PTFE and PPL, maintenance is minimal, and you can expect long-term performance with low upkeep costs.

6. Compliant with Global Standards:

   • Our valve meets key international standards, including ASME B16.34, GB/T12237, and EN1092-1, ensuring that it’s built to the highest quality and fully compatible with other industrial equipment, giving you peace of mind that it will meet your operational needs.

7. High Pressure and Wide Size Range:

   • With pressure ratings from PN16-PN40 and 150LB-300LB, our valve is designed to handle high-pressure environments. It is also available in a range of sizes from 1/2" to 12" (DN15-DN300), making it a versatile solution for both small and large-scale operations.

8. Reliable Sealing for Harsh Conditions:

   • The use of PTFE and PPL as sealing materials ensures excellent performance in extreme temperatures and high pressures, guaranteeing a long-lasting, reliable seal even in the most challenging applications.
