3, 4, 5-Way Multi-Port Valves (Industrial)

Description:

IMI PBM’s 3, 4 and 5-way Multi-Port valves are true multi-port valves with seals at every port. This design makes the multi-port ideal for flow switching operations. In some applications, this valve can replace as many as four ordinary 2-way valves, with corresponding savings in piping and fittings.

  • Temperature Range: up to 450˚F (232.2˚C), depending on seat and seal material
  • Cv Values (gpm): 5.4 to 613 depending on end connection*
  • Valves are rated for full vacuum.
  • Stainless steel brackets are strong, durable and corrosion resistant to facilitate wash-down.
  • Choose from 4-way and 5-way flow patterns available offering for 90˚, 180˚ and 360˚ operation
  • Compact, low profile design facilitates installation in areas with tight space restrictions.
  • Stem assembly accommodates PBM Direct Mount Actuation for accurate alignment and increased cycling life.
  • Optional body cavity fillers minimize areas where media could become trapped and contaminate the process.
