What is a 3 Way Gate Valve
The 3-way gate valve, also known as a T-port, is a valve used to control the flow of fluid in a pipeline. It has three openings, two at each end and one in the middle, in a ‘T’ shape. When the valve is in the open position, the middle opening is flush with the openings at both ends, allowing fluid to pass freely through the pipe. When the valve is in the closed position, the middle opening is closed and the flow of fluid stops.
