Available in a variety of materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and PVC, our DN80 ball valves are compatible with different media types such as water, steam, air, gas, and corrosive chemicals. Choose from threaded, flanged, and welded end connections to suit your system requirements, with options for manual, pneumatic, or electric actuation. Whether you're upgrading existing infrastructure or building a new process line, our 3" ball valves provide the long-term reliability and ease of maintenance that modern systems demand.

Key features and benefits of 3 inch Ball Valves (DN80).

Key Features

The full bore construction allows unrestricted flow through the valve, reducing pressure drop and energy loss. This makes it ideal for high-flow systems and bulk fluid transfer.

Key Features

Made from durable materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, or PVC, these valves are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. Their strength ensures long service life even under demanding conditions.

Key Features

The ball mechanism enables fast 90° operation for rapid shut-off or isolation. This is essential in emergency scenarios or process systems requiring swift response.

Key Features

Suitable for water, steam, oil, gas, and aggressive chemicals, DN80 ball valves offer wide application flexibility. Material options ensure compatibility across multiple industries.

Key Features

With minimal moving parts and reliable sealing, 3" ball valves require little maintenance. This reduces downtime and ongoing operational costs.

Key Features

Available with manual handles or ready for pneumatic and electric actuators, these valves integrate easily into automated systems. Perfect for remote or high-cycle applications.

3 inch Ball Valves (DN80) are crucial in industrial and commercial systems where managing high-volume flow with reliable shut-off is essential. Their full bore design ensures unrestricted flow, reducing pressure loss and improving overall system efficiency—especially in large-scale pipelines. This makes them ideal for sectors like water treatment, chemical processing, manufacturing, and HVAC, where flow consistency and rapid response are non-negotiable.

Their ability to handle a wide range of media—whether it's water, gas, steam, oil, or corrosive chemicals—adds to their versatility and importance in diverse applications. DN80 ball valves are also built for durability, meaning fewer replacements and less downtime. Whether operated manually or automated via actuators, they provide secure, dependable control in systems that demand both performance and long-term reliability.

3" Ball Valves (DN80) are widely used in medium to large-scale fluid systems where high flow rates and dependable shut-off are required. You’ll commonly find them in water treatment plants for controlling the movement of large volumes of water through filtration, storage, and distribution systems. In the chemical industry, they’re used for handling aggressive fluids safely, thanks to their durable construction and chemical-resistant materials.

They’re also prevalent in HVAC systems, helping regulate chilled and hot water in commercial buildings and industrial facilities. In the oil and gas sector, DN80 ball valves are used for isolating pipelines and managing flow in loading, unloading, and transfer applications. Other key uses include process engineering, food and beverage production, power generation, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where reliable shut-off and flow control are vital to maintaining efficient and safe operations.

Industries

A ball valve is used to start or stop the flow of liquids or gases by rotating a ball with a bore inside the valve body. It provides quick, reliable shut-off with minimal pressure drop.

Ball valves use a hollow, pivoting ball that aligns with the flow path when open and rotates 90° to block flow when closed. The handle position clearly indicates whether the valve is open or shut.

Ball valves are not ideal for throttling or precise flow regulation, as partial opening can cause seat wear and turbulence. They're best used in fully open or closed positions.

Ball valves can be made from stainless steel, brass, bronze, PVC, CPVC, carbon steel, and other alloys. Material choice depends on the application, pressure, and media compatibility.

Yes, many industrial-grade ball valves are designed to handle high pressures, especially those made from metal with reinforced seals and full-bore designs.

Common types include two-piece, three-piece, flanged, wafer, full bore, reduced bore, and multi-port ball valves. Each type suits different installation and maintenance needs.

Ball valves have a long service life, especially in clean systems. With minimal moving parts and a durable seal, they often outlast other valve types when used correctly.

Most ball valves are bidirectional and allow flow in both directions. However, some designs may be unidirectional depending on the seat and body configuration.

Yes, ball valves can be fitted with pneumatic or electric actuators for remote or automatic control. This is common in industrial and process automation.

Ball valves are generally low maintenance. Three-piece designs are preferred where service or cleaning may be needed, as they allow in-line maintenance.

Ball valves are used across many sectors, including oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and HVAC systems.

Ball valves come in sizes ranging from 1/4" (DN08) for small systems to 12" or larger (DN300+) for industrial pipelines. Size selection depends on flow rate and pipe compatibility.
