PVC & CPVC Multi-Port Ball Valves (1/2” – 4”) will be discontinued effective 6/2/03.These Multi-Ports will be replaced by the Type 23 Multi-Port Ball Valve, which has many added Features and Benefits as outlined below.(PP & PVDF versions to be re-engineered in the near future)

We will begin shipping the New Type 23, as old style Multiport inventory
is depleted, on or about 5/1/03.

We will be able to supply replacement parts for a period of five years
effective the 3rd quarter of 2003.
Pricing:
The New Type 23 valve will be priced the same as the old Multi-Port,
even with the additional features and benefits.

interchangeability. (3” & 4” will have face to face interchangeability only)
