Stainless Steel Double Ferrule Three-Way Instrument Ball Valve
The Stainless Steel Double Ferrule Three-Way Instrument Ball Valve is an OIB Series one-piece valve designed for manual flow-path switching in instrumentation and fluid-control systems.
Its three-way configuration uses double-ferrule tube connections at all three ports, providing a compact valve arrangement for directing flow between connected tubing lines.

OIB Three-Way Design
The OIB Series three-way configuration provides three connected valve ports for manual flow-path switching in instrumentation and fluid-control systems.
The three-port arrangement allows the valve to direct flow between connected lines according to the specified flow-path configuration.
Double-Ferrule Tube Connections
The three-way valve is available with double-ferrule tube connections for fractional tubing from 1/8 in. to 3/4 in. and metric tubing from 3 mm to 18 mm.
Available orifice sizes and flow coefficients vary with the selected tube size. The required tube outside diameter and operating conditions should therefore be specified when selecting the valve.
Pressure and Temperature
Maximum working pressure is up to 3000 psig (207 bar), with a working temperature range from -65°F to 300°F (-54°C to 148°C).
Applicable working pressure depends on the selected valve configuration, orifice size, tube size, tubing specification, operating temperature, and service conditions. Final valve selection should be based on the actual system requirements.
Typical Applications
OIB three-way instrumentation ball valves are suitable for manual flow-path switching in instrumentation and fluid-control systems, including process instrumentation, test systems, sampling systems, and equipment fluid lines.
Application suitability should be confirmed according to the required flow path, operating pressure, temperature, process fluid, tube size, tubing specification, and material compatibility.
Selecting the Right Configuration
When specifying a double-ferrule OIB three-way ball valve, provide the required tube outside diameter together with the required flow path, operating pressure, temperature, process fluid, tubing material, and quantity.
For applications requiring a straight-pattern, angle-pattern, or other multi-port configuration, provide the connection and flow-path requirements so the appropriate OIB configuration can be confirmed.
