Description
1/2" DN15 to 2" DN50 Motorised UPVC True Union 3-Way Ball Valve – ABV3P Series
The ABV3P Series is a premium range of motorised UPVC true union 3-way ball valves, available from 1/2" (DN15) to 2" (DN50) for reliable flow diversion, changeover and mixing of water, air, oils and chemically compatible fluids.
Combining a corrosion and chemical resistant UPVC true union ball valve with a high-performance electric actuator, the ABV3P Series provides dependable automatic operation, integrated position feedback and optional failsafe protection for industrial process control, water treatment, chemical dosing and utility applications.
Available with T-port or L-port ball configurations, the ABV3P range offers multiple flow path options for diverting, selecting or mixing media. The true union valve design also allows rapid valve removal without disturbing pipework, making inspection, maintenance and replacement quick and straightforward.
