Three-way Control Valves
Forbes Marshall ARCA Series 100 three way valves are standard globe design three way valves with pneumatic or electric actuator with customisable extensions for a wide range of applications. The body is fitted with a mixing or diverting plug and strong high capacity shaft guiding.
- Easy to service seat
- Seat and plug exchange can be completed within few minutes. During maintenance, the valve remains in the pipeline. This saves cost during maintenance and installation.
- Capacity can easily be adapted to any modification, extension due to modular design

Frequently Asked Questions.
Globe type control valves are two-port valves designed for precise throttling of flow, pressure, or temperature in single-stream systems, commonly used in applications like steam or fluid regulation. In contrast, 3-way control valves have three ports and are used for mixing two streams into one or diverting one stream into two. The choice depends on whether you need single-stream modulation (globe valve) or flow mixing/diverting (3-way valve).
Three-way valves are used for mixing or diverting fluid flows in a system. In a mixing configuration, the combine two fluid streams into one, such as mixing hot and cold water to achieve a desired temperature. In a diverting configuration, they split one fluid stream into two, often for directing flow to different parts of a system.
3-way valves are commonly used for applications for temperature control by mixing hot and cold water, in bypass systems to regulate flow, and in industrial processes for fluid mixing or diverting. They are ideal for applications requiring flow routing, such as splitting one stream into two or combining two streams into one, simplifying piping and control in complex systems.
