Type-23 Multiport™ plastic ball valves are three way ball valves with true union design. The use of a multiport ball valve simplifies piping and eliminates the need for an additional valve and tee fitting. A “L” ported ball valve permits flow from the bottom entry to either the left or right ports or to an OFF position. An optional tee ported ball allows simultaneous left and right flow versatile ball valves with two “branches” and one “leg”. Fluid flow direction is governed by an interchangeable ball in the center of the valve. Because this ball can be swapped out to offer a number of different flow patterns, the Type-23 Multiport™ valve is customizable to specific applications. Similar to other ball valves, the Type-23 Multiport™ valve has a low pressure drop and works best in applications with zero to very low concentrations of suspended solids. True union ball valves can be lifted from the line, without having to move the piping, simply by loosening the two union nuts. The valves can be disassembled, and parts may be replaced. The Type-23 Multiport™ valve may be pneumatically or electrically actuated.
Ball patterns:
- Single L-port (All sizes) – A single drilled L-port ball capable of diverting fluids through either the left or right branch with a 180º handle rotation. Also offers an “all off” position in the center where all ports are closed.
- Double L-port (All sizes) – A double drilled L-port ball capable of diverting fluids through either the left or right branch with a 90º handle rotation. Because of the drill pattern, one port is always open so there is no “all off” position.
- Triple L-port (All sizes) – A triple drilled L-port ball capable of diverting fluids through either the left or right branch with a 180 degree rotation. Also provides for an “all on” position where all ports are open.
- T-port (All sizes) – A “T” drilled ball capable of opening or closing all valve ports.
- Cross-port (1/2″ – 2″) – A proprietary ball capable of providing several different flow patterns using a 180º handle rotation.

The Type-21a SST PVC flow control ball valve provides a modified equal percentage flow control, with repeatable results across the span of travel. It is available in ½” – 2” true union sizes and features a precision-machined PVC ball with center provisions to support PTFE seats from zero to 100 percent of capable flow. The characterized ball valve requires directional installation and comes equipped with a flow direction label.

Type-21/21a ball valves are corrosion resistant plastic manual true union design quarter turn valves with hyperbolic flow characteristics, low pressure drops and reliable sealing. They are typically used in on/off applications and are offer relatively poor flow control. They are excellent for use in clean fluid service applications with very little to no suspended solids. Type-21/21a ball valves are well suited for a wide variety of fluid flow applications. True union ball valves can be lifted from the line without having to move the piping simply by loosening the two union nuts. The valves can be disassembled, and parts may be replaced. They can be pneumatically or electrically actuated.
