Hayward three-way ball valves are used for diverting or mixing flow. The two main configurations are L-port and T-port. Choosing the correct configuration depends on your piping layout and desired flow pattern.

L-Port vs T-Port

L-Port: Used primarily for diverting flow from one inlet to either of two outlets (or vice versa). Common in applications where you need to select between two destinations.

T-Port: Allows flow to be mixed from two inlets into one outlet, or diverted from one inlet to two outlets simultaneously. Offers more flow pattern flexibility.

Actuation Options

Both L-port and T-port valves are available in actuator-ready versions. Electric or pneumatic actuators can be added for automated diverting or mixing control.
