Three-Piece Valve Construction
A three-piece ball valve uses a center valve body section positioned between two end connection sections. This construction provides a serviceable valve assembly while maintaining the durability required for compatible pressurized piping systems.
The center section can be accessed more easily than with many one-piece designs, making three-piece valves useful where future inspection, maintenance, or valve servicing may be required.
The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for compatible media and operating environments.
Why Choose a 3-Piece Ball Valve?
Serviceable Body Design
- Three-piece valve construction
- Center valve section can be accessed for service
- Useful where future maintenance is expected
- Suitable for industrial and process piping

- Helps reduce pressure drop through the valve
- Useful where maintaining flow capacity is important
- Full-port configuration throughout the valve
Connection Options
Threaded Connections
- Designed for compatible threaded piping systems
- Mechanical connection without welding
- Convenient for installation and replacement
- Requires compatible pipe thread size and type
- Use appropriate thread sealant for the application
Socket Weld Connections
- Designed for compatible socket weld piping
- Pipe is inserted into the valve end before welding
- Provides a welded piping connection
- Useful in compatible process piping systems
- Requires proper welding procedures during installation
Valve Components & Features
Blow-Out-Proof Stem
- Designed to resist stem ejection under internal pressure
- Supports safer valve operation
- Integral part of the pressure-containing valve assembly
- Provides dependable quarter-turn control
- Suitable for compatible pressurized piping systems
Pressure Balance Hole

Full Port vs. Reduced Port Ball Valve
Full Port
- Larger internal flow passage
- Helps minimize restriction
- Helps maintain system flow capacity
- Typically produces less pressure drop
- Used in this valve design
Reduced Port
- Smaller internal opening than the connected piping
- Introduces additional flow restriction
- May provide a more compact valve configuration
- Suitable where maximum flow area is not required
- Different internal geometry from this valve
1000 WOG Rating
The supplied product information identifies this valve as rated to 1000 WOG. WOG is commonly used for valve pressure ratings associated with compatible water, oil, and gas service.
Actual suitability depends on valve size, operating temperature, media, system pressure, connection type, and manufacturer limitations. Review the applicable product documentation before specifying the valve for a particular service.
Common Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Threaded piping systems
- Socket weld piping systems
- Equipment isolation
- Utility piping
- General shutoff service
Industrial & Process Service
- Process piping isolation
- Equipment connections
- Maintenance shutoff points
- Compatible water, oil, and gas applications
- Applications where valve serviceability is important
Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify whether the installation requires threaded or socket weld connections.
- Confirm mating connection compatibility before installation.
- Verify that the full-port configuration is appropriate for the required flow characteristics.
- Confirm that the 1000 WOG rating is suitable for the intended system pressure.
- Verify media compatibility with the stainless steel valve construction and internal components.
- For threaded valves, use an appropriate thread sealant for the media, pressure, and temperature.
- For socket weld valves, follow proper fit-up and welding procedures.
- Protect valve seats and internal components from excessive welding heat when installing socket weld versions.
- Use appropriate wrenching surfaces during threaded installation.
- Avoid excessive installation torque on the valve body.
- Follow manufacturer procedures when servicing or disassembling the three-piece valve body.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Installation should comply with applicable piping codes and project specifications.
