A 3-way valve is an industrial valve used to provide a steady flow rate for the diversion or mixture of various applications. It is named after its three openings, which can be connected to tubing for the flow of liquid or gas. These openings can be comprised of two inlets and one outlet, or one inlet and two outlets.

Despite the movement of liquid or gas through each opening, the rate of flow remains constant, ensuring that it can be steadily maintained.
