3-Way Control Valve

A 3-way control valve is a type of valve that is used to control the flow of a fluid in a system. It is a device that is used to regulate the flow of a fluid, such as air, water, or steam, through a system. The 3-way control valve has three ports, two of which are inlet ports and one is an outlet port. The inlet ports are connected to the fluid source, while the outlet port is connected to the system that the fluid is being sent to. The 3-way control valve is designed to control the flow of the fluid by controlling the pressure of the fluid at the inlet ports. This is done by using a valve stem that is connected to a spool or disc inside the valve body. The spool or disc is then connected to a lever that is used to adjust the pressure of the fluid. The 3-way control valve is a very versatile device and can be used in a variety of applications, such as controlling the flow of air, water, or steam in a system. It is also used in many industrial applications, such as controlling the flow of chemicals, gases, and other fluids. The 3-way control valve is an essential component in many systems and is used to ensure that the system is operating efficiently and safely.
