GE3N38 | 3/8 in 3-Way Ball Valve, 5800 PSI Compact HP Rated

AR GE3N38 — 3/8 in 3-Way Ball Valve | 5,800 PSI Rated | 3-Port
The AR GE3N38 is a compact, professional-grade
3/8-inch three-way ball valve rated for 5,800 PSI,
engineered by Annovi Reverberi to deliver precise, durable flow control in high-pressure water and
hydraulic circuits where space, reliability, and safety matter. A full-bore flow path, reinforced seats,
and a precision-ground stainless-steel ball provide smooth, low-torque quarter-turn actuation and
bubble-tight sealing while the three-port architecture streamlines routing, diversion, and isolation in
tight layouts.

GE3N38 Key Features & Benefits

Pressure & Flow Performance

• 5,800 PSI working pressure: Handles demanding duty in professional cleaning systems,
  test stands, and high-pressure utility loops where transient spikes and frequent cycling are common.
• Full-bore 3/8 in passage: Maintains line size through the body to minimize pressure
  drop, reduce turbulence, and support steady hydraulic loading on upstream pumps, regulators, and
  unloaders.
• Stable, low-restriction flow: Smooth internal geometry helps preserve outlet pressure
  at tools and process endpoints and shortens flush times when switching chemicals or returning to clear
  water.

3-Way Routing & Control

• Three-port design: Replaces separate tees and isolation valves with one compact body,
  reducing leak points and simplifying plumbing on skids, mobile rigs, and plant manifolds.
• L- or T-port flexibility: Supports diversion, mixing, or bypass functions—direct flow
  to one of two branches, bridge branches, or isolate a leg for service without shutting down the main
  loop.
• Quarter-turn actuation: Crisp 90° handle motion provides fast, predictable changes in
  flow routing for start-up, changeovers, diagnostics, and maintenance.

Construction & Sealing GE3N38

• Corrosion-resistant body: Stainless steel or nickel-plated brass housing withstands
  moisture, washdown, and contact with common cleaning agents, light oils, and process water.
• Precision-ground stainless-steel ball: Polished ball surface and guided stem promote
  low-torque operation and maintain alignment and sealing integrity under high differential pressure.
• Reinforced PTFE / high-performance seats: Seats are engineered to resist cold flow,
  wear, and chemical attack, delivering bubble-tight shutoff and consistent torque across thousands of
  cycles.
• Leak-tight port geometry: Tight dimensional tolerances and carefully finished sealing
  surfaces support reliable isolation and repeatable handle feel from valve to valve.

Installation & Serviceability

• Compact, lightweight form factor: Fits easily into crowded panels and behind guards
  and can be mounted horizontally or vertically without performance loss.
• Precision-threaded ports: 3/8 in threaded connections integrate cleanly with standard
  fittings, reducing joint count and potential leak paths in the system.
• Accessible handle & indication: Durable, non-slip handle with clear position
  marking simplifies verification of routing during walk-by checks, start-up, or lockout/tagout.
• Simple upkeep: Periodic flushing to remove fines, quick cavity inspection, and
  occasional stem lubrication keep actuation smooth and sealing performance consistent over long service
  intervals.

Typical Applications

GE3N38 | 3/8 in 3-Way Ball Valve, 5800 PSI Compact HP Rated

• High-pressure cleaning systems: Diverts discharge between tools, selects bypass lines
  for chemical rinse, or parks circuits during diagnostics without shutting down the pump.
• Pump skids & plant manifolds: Consolidates mixing, bypass, and isolation
  functions into a single three-way body for cleaner schematics and faster field assembly.
• Test stands & process loops: Directs flow to test ports, blends feeds, or
  segregates a branch for work while maintaining main-loop operation.
• Mobile and compact rigs: Space-saving 3/8 in format and corrosion-resistant finish
  reduce inertial loads on fittings and preserve appearance in portable or outdoor equipment.
