Zero Leakage and Zero Frictional Drag

HICORP · 3-Way Configuration

3-Way Continuous Flow Transfer Valve

Zero Leakage · Single-Stream Diverter · API 614 Compliant

Diverts a single process stream from one equipment train to another — continuously, without shutdown or pressure loss. Available in carbon steel or stainless steel, 1½″ through 6″.

Single-Stream Continuous Flow Diverter

The HICORP 3-Way valve has three ports — one common and two equipment-train ports — and diverts a single process stream between two trains without interrupting flow. It is the compact solution when only one stream (supply or return, not both) needs to be switched.

For applications requiring complete isolation of the off-line train on both supply and return, two 3-Way valves or a single 6-Way valve are used. The 3-Way is often the right choice for simpler single-circuit switching, or where space constraints make a 6-Way impractical.

Available in carbon steel or 304L / 316L stainless steel with Buna-N, Viton®, or Neoprene seals to match your process fluid and temperature requirements.

3-Way vs. 6-Way — Which Do You Need?

Choose the 3-Way when:

  • Only one stream (supply or return) needs switching
  • Space constraints limit valve size
  • A simpler single-circuit diverter is sufficient
  • Two 3-Way valves will be used for full isolation

Choose the 6-Way when:

  • Both supply and return must switch simultaneously
  • Complete isolation of the off-line train is required
  • A single valve replaces two 3-Way valves
  • API 614 duplex filter switching is specified
