Three-way ball valve is available in T and L versions. The T-type enables three orthogonal pipes to communicate with each other and cut off the third channel to function as a split and merge. The L three-way ball valve type can only connect two pipes that are orthogonal to each other, and can not keep the third pipe connected to each other at the same time, only to distribute.

Designed with three ports, 3-way valves allow for the diversion and mixing of flow paths. This configuration is versatile for many applications, but before you buy yourself a 3-way ball valve, you should check which port configuration would be best for your system.

There are two different types of 3-way ball valves configurations. They are either L-type or T-type, which is determined by the shape of the bore in the whole. Each has their own characteristics that make them better than the other for specific uses. In this article, we’ll go over the key differences between L-type and T-type 3-way ball valves which should help you make a more informed decision when searching for a valve to install in your system.
