A 3 way ball valve, also known as a triple ball valve, is a type of valve that uses a ball to control the flow of fluid through a pipe. The ball has a hole through the center that allows the fluid to flow when it is aligned with the pipe. When the ball is turned 90 degrees, it blocks the flow of fluid. Three way ball valves are commonly used in applications where a high level of precision is required, such as in chemical processing or oil and gas pipelines. They are also known for their durability and reliability. Three piece ball valves are designed to be easily disassembled for maintenance or repair, hence their name ''three-piece''. They can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and PVC.
