Sanitary Ball Valves
Full bore shut-off where the line must drain clean and the pressure drop has to stay near zero, including 3-way and 4-way diverting bodies.

What Goes Wrong Without the Right Ball Valve
- Industrial ball valves with dead pockets behind the seat that trap product and fail a swab test
- Two-piece bodies that cannot be opened for inspection without cutting the line
- Diverting arrangements built from three separate valves and a nest of fittings
Who Specifies This Category
- Plant engineers replacing non-hygienic industrial valves on product contact lines
- Equipment builders who need a valve that can be stripped for validation
- Process lines that route one feed to several destinations
What You Get From Our Range
- Three-piece encapsulated bodies that open for seat replacement without removing the valve
- Full bore, so a pig or a CIP slug passes without restriction
- 3-way L-port and T-port and 4-way bodies replace multi-valve manifolds
- Manual lever and pneumatic actuated versions share the same body dimensions
Where They Are Installed
- Product line isolation ahead of a positive displacement pump
- Switching a single feed between two storage tanks
- Sampling point isolation on a fermentation loop
- Drain valve on a vessel that must empty completely

Ball Valves FAQ
What engineers ask before they specify this category.
What is the difference between a two-piece and a three-piece sanitary ball valve
A three-piece body separates into end caps and a centre section, so the ball and seats can be removed for inspection and replacement while the end connections stay welded or clamped in the line. That is what makes it serviceable in a validated plant.
Do you offer 3-way and 4-way bodies
Yes. L-port and T-port 3-way bodies and 4-way bodies are in the catalogue in clamped and threaded versions. Tell us the flow paths you need in each handle position and we will confirm the port pattern before production.
Are the valves full bore
Yes, the sanitary ball valves in this catalogue are full bore, so the ball opening matches the tube inside diameter. This keeps pressure drop low and lets cleaning solution scour the whole bore.
