DELCO Sanitary 3-Way Ball Valve, SMS Male Thread, Stainless Steel 316L, Polished
Designed for hygienic flow control in dairy, brewery, and beverage applications, this 3-Way Sanitary Ball Valve features SMS Male Threaded ends for secure, leak-proof connections. Crafted from high-polish Stainless Steel 316L, it allows for the efficient diverting or mixing of fluids while meeting strict sanitary standards.
Features
A 3-way polished stainless steel ball valve with SMS threaded ends, enabling hygienic flow switching for food and beverage lines.
✅SMS Sanitary Threads: Equipped with standard SMS (Swedish Manufacturing Standard) male threads, widely used in the dairy industry for their robust sealing and ability to withstand vibration better than quick-release Tri-Clamp Ball Valves.
3-Way Diverting/Mixing: Available in L-Port (diverting flow 90°) or T-Port (mixing/splitting) configurations, allowing a single valve to handle complex routing tasks that would otherwise require multiple 2-Way Sanitary Valves.
High-Polish 316L Body: The internal and external surfaces are polished to a mirror finish (Ra < 0.8µm), preventing product adhesion and bacterial growth, ensuring purity superior to rough-cast [Industrial Valves].
Encapsulated Seats: Features PTFE encapsulated seats that wrap around the ball, eliminating dead spaces where fluid could become trapped and spoil—a critical requirement for CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility.
Easy Disassembly: The threaded union design allows the valve body to be easily disconnected from the pipeline for inspection or manual cleaning, offering a balance between the security of threads and the convenience of clamps.
