SLV
3-Way Clamp Ball Valve
The SLV 3-Way Clamp Ball Valve is a sanitary diverter valve with quick-mount tri-clamp ends and an L- or T-ported ball. It switches, mixes or distributes product in hygienic lines while allowing the valve to be dismantled from the pipework in moments, without tools cutting into the line.
Product Benefits
- Tool-free removal: Clamp connections are the hallmark of hygienic piping: releasing the clamps frees the valve for inspection, cleaning or seat replacement, and refitting is just as quick.
- Short sanitation routines: Cleaning cycles stay brief and welded or threaded joints are never disturbed.
- Fewer joints: One three-way body replaces a cluster of two-way valves and fittings, reducing the number of joints and crevice-prone connections in a line where cleanability matters.
- Fast, visible changeovers: The quarter-turn action makes switching quick and the flow path easy to verify.
Where It's Used
- Sanitary process lines: It is intended for food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants, switching product between destinations and selecting supply tanks.
- Cleaning-in-place duty: The valve directs flows during cleaning-in-place sequences.
- Matches sanitary tubing: The clamp format suits the sanitary tube systems standard in these industries.
- L-port or T-port: L-port versions handle simple destination changeovers, while T-port versions cover mixing and dual-feed arrangements.
Good to Know
- Series construction: The valve follows the SLV three-way ball valve series, with stainless steel body and ball options and soft seats from the PTFE family.
- Stainless for product contact: Stainless trim is the natural choice for hygienic service in contact with product.
- Seats to suit cleaning: Seat material can be matched to the product and the cleaning regime.
- Keep spares on hand: Because clamp valves are made to be opened regularly, spare seats and clamp gaskets make routine sanitation maintenance quick.
- Check ferrule size: Confirm the clamp ferrule size against your tube standard when ordering.
