PURCHASING SUPPORT

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about materials, certification, packing and delivery.

What is a 3 way female thread ball valve?

It is a three-port ball valve with female internal thread connections, used to divert, mix or switch fluid flow. It has two core types: L-port (90° flow switching) and T-port (flow mixing / three-way communication).

What’s the difference between L-port and T-port?

L-port: Only connects two perpendicular ports, for flow direction switching. T-port: Can connect all three ports together, suitable for mixing or splitting media. You can select the bore type as your requirement.

What materials do you supply?

Standard body and ball: SS304 / SS316 stainless steel. Seat & seal: PTFE (Teflon). Handle: Carbon steel with blue PVC coating.

What materials can you provide?
  • 304 / 316L stainless steel (corrosion-resistant; suitable for water, gases, chemical media, and instrumentation piping).
What are the suitable applications?

Water supply, compressed air, natural gas, fire protection, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), instrumentation piping, petroleum, low-to-medium pressure industrial piping, and water supply/drainage systems.

Can you provide an MTC (Material Test Certificate)?

Yes. We can provide an MTC compliant with the EN10204 3.1 standard, which includes the heat number. If an EN10204 3.2 third-party certified MTC is required, it can be arranged at the buyer’s request (subject to an additional fee).

What surface treatment options are available?

The standard treatment is a pickled matte finish.

Is laser marking available?

Yes. We can laser-mark the flat surfaces of the valve body with details such as size, material grade, heat number, and the customer’s logo or brand name.

How are the products packed for ocean freight?

For externally threaded ends, plastic thread protectors are applied. The products are packed into export-grade cartons, placed on fumigated wooden pallets, and wrapped in waterproof stretch film to prevent surface scratches or damage to the threads.

What is the lead time for delivery?

Typically, orders can be shipped within 7 to 15 days after receipt of the deposit, depending on the order quantity.

How is quality control managed?

Raw material inspection → CNC machining → thread inspection → hydrostatic testing → visual inspection → final dimensional check before packaging.

Which Incoterms are offered to overseas buyers?

We offer FOB (Free On Board) terms, with shipment originating from a Chinese port. We will provide a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading for import customs clearance.

Which Incoterms are available to buyers?

We offer FOB (Free On Board) or CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, with shipment originating from a Chinese port. We will provide a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading for customs clearance.

What should be done if defects or non-conformities in the threads are discovered upon arrival?

Please provide photos, videos, and inspection records. We will assess the root cause of the issue; in accordance with the contract terms, solutions may include product replacement, a partial refund, or a new shipment.
