- Manual operation gives direct control without external power
Three-Way L-Flow Ball Valve
The Banjo V100BL is a manual three-way ball valve built from polypropylene for corrosion resistance. Its L-flow pattern directs media between the bottom inlet and one of two side outlets, making it suitable for fluid diversion in plumbing and light industrial systems.
Sustained Flow Behaviour
The full-port ball matches the 1-inch nominal bore so pressure drop stays low during continuous operation. Polypropylene handles many acids, bases and solvents without degrading, and the three-piece body allows the centre section to be removed for seat inspection without cutting pipe.
Installation Notes
Female NPT threads on all three ports accept standard 1-inch male pipe threads; apply PTFE tape or compatible sealant to prevent leaks. The bottom-entry inlet fixes orientation, so plan pipe runs accordingly. Polypropylene threads can strip if over-tightened, so hand-tighten plus one to two turns with a strap wrench.

Questions about this item
How does the polypropylene body handle heat if the valve runs continuously with hot fluids?
The polypropylene body resists many chemicals and moderate temperatures typical of drainage systems, but continuous high-heat service should be checked against the material limits for your specific fluid.
What pipe thread do I need on my existing lines to install this 1 in FNPT valve?
You need 1 inch male NPT threads on each pipe end; the valve has three female NPT ports — one bottom inlet and two side outlets — so all connections must match that thread form and size.
Will this three-way valve fit in place of an older two-way brass ball valve without re-piping?
No, the three-port L-flow pattern adds an extra side outlet that a two-way valve does not have, so the piping layout must be changed to accommodate the additional connection.
