Part No. WE31 | Ball Type: 3-way (L-port/T-port)
Product Description
The Dwyer WE31 is a 3-way stainless steel ball valve designed for diverting and mixing flow in standard NPT threaded process piping. It provides a single-valve alternative to using two separate 2-way valves, helping simplify piping layouts and reduce the number of components in the system.
The stainless steel ball can be configured for L-port or T-port operation depending on the required flow arrangement. An L-port configuration can be used for diverting flow between destinations, while a T-port configuration can support different diverting or mixing arrangements, subject to the selected configuration.
NPT threaded connections provide a familiar installation method for many process and utility piping systems. Stainless steel construction provides broad compatibility with suitable process media and applications where corrosion resistance is important.
Need a different specification? The Dwyer range also includes the WE34 3-Way Flanged Stainless Steel Ball Valve, allowing you to match the connection style to your piping system.

How to Install & Use It
- Confirm the WE31 connection size and port configuration are suitable for the application.
- Thread the valve into the NPT process line at the required diverting or mixing point.
- Confirm that the L-port or T-port configuration matches the intended flow path.
- Operate the valve to route or blend flow between the connected lines.
- Verify sealing and correct flow direction at each port before full commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 3-way ball valve like the WE31 do?
It can divert flow between two destinations or provide a mixing arrangement between flow sources using a single valve body.
What connection type does the WE31 use?
The WE31 uses NPT threaded connections for installation in compatible threaded process piping.
What port configurations are available?
The WE31 uses 3-way L-port or T-port configurations. Select the appropriate configuration according to the required flow-routing arrangement.
What material is the WE31 made from?
The WE31 features stainless steel construction.
What applications suit the WE31?
It is suited to process and utility piping applications requiring 3-way flow diversion or mixing with NPT threaded connections.
How does the WE31 compare with the WE34 and WE33?
All three are 3-way stainless steel ball valves, but the WE31 uses NPT threaded connections, the WE34 uses flanged connections, and the WE33 uses tri-clamp fittings. Select the model that matches your piping standard.
Does GeneralTech Shop deliver the WE31 across the UAE?
Yes. Call +971 6 5436933 to confirm availability and delivery timelines to your emirate.
Should I choose the WE31 or WE34?
The WE31 uses NPT threaded connections, while the WE34 uses flanged connections. The WE33 provides a tri-clamp connection option for sanitary applications. Choose according to the connection standard and installation requirements of your system.
