Three-way mixing valves

A three-way mixing valve is used for mixing hot and cold water to achieve the desired temperature. They are used in heating and cooling systems, for underfloor heating, ventilation, solar systems, central distribution, and other potable and non-potable water systems. Some three-way valves also have a distribution function. The valves can be controlled in three ways: manually with a dial, with a thermostatic cartridge, or with an actuator, which requires the correct adapter for installation. Three-way valves are made from brass with zinc leaching protection, or cast iron, to achieve high durability and safety. All main components of mixing valves can be easily replaced, however, we recommend installing a suitable filter in the system before the valve. This will prevent the need for more frequent maintenance of the three-way valve, extend the lifespan of the valve and the distribution system, and prevent excessive wear or potential damage due to a higher amount of mechanical impurities in the water.

The use of three-way mixing valves has a very wide range. They are used for distribution and regulation of heating water, where they allow obtaining a resulting mixture at the desired temperature, in central distribution systems, find application in underfloor heating, in solar systems, are utilized in the distribution and installations of cooling systems, in applications for ventilation and air conditioning operation. Some types of three-way mixing valves can be used not only for mixing but also as distribution taps. Connection is provided via external or internal threads, and there are also versions with flanged connections. The valve is equipped with an adjustment wheel with a scale, which can be easily modified for servo drive control. This requires fitting with a suitable adapter, which is of course available in our offer, and you can use Belimo actuators or Esbe actuators. The valve body is made of durable brass or cast iron and the operation of the control knob has a maximum range of 90°.

In our offer, you will find ESBE three-way mixing valves.
