3-Way Ball Valve L Port Bottom Entry Chrome Plated Brass

The bottom entry L port valve is listed by BSP thread, 1/4" to 2", with the stem brought up through the base of the body instead of out through the side. That is what makes it the compact option when a three way valve has to fit inside spacing that is already set. Part numbers run BVLP06BE at 1/4" through to BVLP50BE at 2".

Key features

• L port ball for diverting flow between two paths
• Bottom entry body, suited to compact installations
• Body nickel plated brass, seat PTFE, ball chrome plated brass, stem brass
• Handle and nut in stainless steel
• Cold working pressure 2500 kPa
• Maximum temperature 150 degrees C
• Eight sizes: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2" and 2"

Applications

• Diverting a transfer line between two tanks
• Routing around a filter or a meter without breaking the run
• Water and air service lines
• Process and workshop pipework

Compatibility and fitting

• All three ports are BSP threaded
• The part number carries the metric equivalent: BVLP12BE is the 1/2" valve, BVLP25BE the 1"
• Male threads to suit each port: brass fittings
• If the base of the valve is not reachable, the side entry L port covers 12 mm to 50 mm

How do I read the size on this valve?

Order on the thread you are screwing into. The listing runs 1/4" to 2" BSP while the part number carries the metric equivalent, so BVLP06BE is the 1/4" valve and BVLP50BE the 2". Reading the part number as an inch size is the usual ordering mistake here.

Where does a three way valve save a fitting?

Anywhere you would otherwise use two valves and a tee. One body, one handle and three BSP ports replaces all of that, which means fewer joints to weep and one handle position to read instead of two.
