The MAXIMATOR's 3-way ball valves feature 3/16" orifices and can withstand pressures up to 21,000 psi (1,500 bar). They are used for various liquids and gases, and feature a one-piece trunnion style stem design, that eliminates shear failure, that is usual with two-piece stem designs. They are available in two versions. The first one is with a 180˚rotating switching ball valve, that lets the fluid in from the bottom, directing it in any direction. Also, the valve can be closed in the "Off" position. The second one is with a 90˚ rotating diverting ball valve. It involves same functioning as the 180˚rotating switching ball valve version, but without the center "Off" position.
