faq: items: - question: What fluid control applications are Bray MPT/MPC multi-port ball valves suitable for? answer: This series is suitable for mixing or blending pipeline media, diverting media to different locations, bypassing filters, meters, or heat exchangers, directing media to or from storage tanks, and shutting off media from different locations. A single 3-way or 4-way valve integrates multi-directional control and shutoff functions. - question: How to choose between 3-way and 4-way configurations in the MPT/MPC Series? answer: Selection should first determine whether a 3-way or 4-way configuration is needed based on the required flow switching, diverting, mixing, or bypass functions; then confirm the specific model and configuration based on size, pressure rating, temperature, media, and end connection type. Specific configuration depends on the actual model and application conditions. - question: What are the pressure, temperature, and size ranges of this multi-port ball valve? answer: The MPT/MPC Series sizes range from 1/4 to 12 inches (8 to 300 mm), temperature range from -20°F to 450°F (-31°C to 232°C). Maximum allowable working pressure includes ASME Class 150, Class 300 (PN10 to PN40), and 1000 psi CWP (69 bar); actual applicable pressure depends on specific valve configuration and operating conditions. - question: What body materials, seat materials, and connection types are available in the MPT/MPC Series? answer: Body materials include stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy. Standard seat is TFM 1600, with optional Tek-Fil®, UHMWPE, RPTFE, or PTFE. End connections include threaded, clamp, socket weld, butt weld, and flanged connections per ASME B16.5, suitable for different piping installation requirements. - question: What safety, sealing, and maintenance features does this series offer? answer: The MPT/MPC Series is designed and tested to ASME B16.34, features a blowout-proof stem design, and meets CE requirements. Valves feature full-port design with zero-leakage seal class; stems and balls are interchangeable with other multi-port models for unified spare parts management. For applications requiring reduced media contamination risk, optional cavity filler configuration is available.
