Under conventional pool operations, standard 2-way ball valves are installed in supply and return lines. Those wishing to add a water feature such as a waterfall or spa would require additional 2-way valves as well as additional pumps, electrical wiring and piping in a setup that increases costs and maintenance.

Using the Assured Automation PTP Series 3-way actuated PVC ball valves with manual or electric motor operation (12vdc,24vac/dc, 120vac) enables diversion of the supply lines (skimmers or main drains) and return lines normally connected on the pool, to transfer flow to a spa or other water feature.The full port PVC 3-way ball valve from Assured Automation.

This design saves space by eliminating the addition of multiple 2-way ball valves which would require extra pumps as well as piping. Cost savings are realized though the reduction in the number of components needed as well as in reduced electrical bills.

PTP Series 3-Way Ball Valves can be used for flow diverting, mixing, or on/off isolation. They will replace a Tee + 2 valve linkage assembly at reduced cost and space, along with shorter installation and maintenance time. The patented seat stop carrier allows for in-line micro adjustment of the ball seating, and features O-ring cushioning to minimize wear and prevent seizing.

The PTP also includes a patented DUAL BLOCK® locking union nut system, which ensures the nuts are held in position even under severe service conditions such as high vibration or thermal expansion. Integral mounting flange and bracketing allows for direct actuation and simple support, while a locking handle can prevent improper positioning.
