3-Way 1-Pressure Valve for Water Jet Cutter Parts – 38 mm, Model No. 10097533-3-Way1-Pressure-Valve-38-Waterjet-Cutter-Parts.917.3-1

Introduction, Application, Features, and Maintenance:

This component is a 3-way, single-pressure valve designed for water jet cutting systems. It features three connection ports with a 38 mm interface and is configured to direct high-pressure flow from one inlet to one of two outlets, or to merge flows from two inlets to one outlet, depending on the specific design.

Application:
Used to switch, divert, or mix high-pressure water or abrasive slurry flow in water jet cutting machines. Common installations include selecting between multiple cutting heads, bypassing the cutting head for system startup or shutdown, or directing flow to different system circuits such as drain or cutting modes.

Features:

• Rated for extreme pressures common in water jet cutting, up to 6,000 bar (87,000 psi).

• 3-way configuration with all ports at 38 mm interface size.

• Single-pressure design optimized for high-pressure applications.

• Provides reliable flow path switching without significant pressure drop.

• Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material suitable for abrasive water jet media.

• Precision-machined internal passages ensure smooth flow and minimal turbulence.

Maintenance:

• Regularly inspect the valve body, all three ports, and internal sealing surfaces for signs of erosion, cracking, or wear.

• Check for leakage at all connection points during machine operation.

• Operate the valve periodically to ensure smooth switching action and proper seating.

• Replace immediately if any surface pitting, thread damage, internal leakage, or pressure loss is detected.

• Always use compatible seals and washers when reassembling.

• Follow specified torque values for all three connections.
