Beduan 3 Way Shut Off Ball Valve, 3/8"

Product Description

The Beduan 3 Way Shut Off Ball Valve, 3/8" Hose Barb 2 Switch Brass Y Shaped Valve is a reliable and versatile solution for controlling fluid flow in a wide range of applications. Designed with performance and durability in mind, this upgraded valve features 7/16" (about 11 mm) outer diameter barbs, ensuring a tighter and more secure connection with compatible tubing. This enhanced fit helps reduce the risk of leaks and disconnections, supporting stable and efficient operation in demanding environments. Manufactured from high-quality brass, this 3 way ball valve offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use with water, air, oil, and many other non-corrosive fluids. Brass construction also provides superior ductility at high temperatures, allowing the valve to maintain integrity and performance under thermal stress. In addition, brass has low magnetic permeability, making this valve a solid choice for applications where magnetic interference must be minimized. The Y shaped design with two independent shut off switches allows users to split a single line into two separate lines and control each branch individually. This configuration is ideal for systems that require flexible flow management, such as aquariums, hydroponics, beverage dispensing, home brewing, irrigation, laboratory setups, and general industrial or home fluid distribution. For best results, use this valve with flexible tubing that can properly accommodate the 7/16" barbs. Tubing that is too hard may be difficult to install. When matched with the right hose material, the secure barb design helps create a tight, reliable seal without the need for excessive clamping. Combining robust brass construction, an upgraded barb design, and convenient 3 way flow control, the Beduan 3 Way Shut Off Ball Valve delivers dependable performance, easy operation, and long service life, making it an excellent choice for both professional and DIY fluid handling systems.

Is this valve suitable for potable (drinking) water?

The valve is brass and commonly used for water applications; however, suitability for potable water depends on your local regulations and specific system requirements. Check compliance needs before using it in drinking water lines.

Can this valve be used in high-temperature applications?

Brass has good ductility at elevated temperatures and can handle moderately high temperatures, but you should always verify your system’s temperature and pressure requirements against the valve’s ratings.

How do I operate the two switches on the valve?

Each branch has a separate lever handle. Turning a handle in line with the hose opens that branch, and turning it perpendicular to the hose closes that branch, allowing independent control of each outlet.
