T Type 3 Way Plug Valve Working Principle

The plug inside the valve body has a through T-shaped passage. By rotating the handle or actuator 90 degrees, the T bore aligns with three valve ports to form different flow modes:
1. Diverting: One inlet medium splits and flows out from two outlets at the same time;
2. Mixing: Two incoming media converge into one outlet for blending;
3. Independent switching: Connect any two ports while cutting off the third passage.
4. Full straight-through bore brings minimal flow resistance and low pressure loss, with no dead space to avoid medium sedimentation.
 

T Type 3 Way Plug Valve Key Advantages
1.Multi-function control: Realize mixing, diverting and switching in one valve;
2.Smooth full bore flow, anti-clogging, suitable for viscous and slightly particle-containing media;
3.Quick 90° operation, low opening torque for easy control;
4. Excellent tight sealing performance, reliable for high & low temperature working conditions;
5.Flexible installation without inlet/outlet direction limitation;
6.Simple disassembly and easy replacement of sealing parts for low maintenance cost.
