Three-Way Gate Valve Hand Lever 10x9x6 Cast Iron Plastic Dryer Diverter
This is a three-way gate valve with a manual ball-end hand lever, measuring approximately 10 x 9 x 6 inches overall. The valve body is cast iron/cast aluminum construction and features three ports — a flanged circular top port, a circular side port, and an oval/rectangular base port — controlled by a three-position lever mechanism. A position diagram is printed on the valve body showing the three selectable flow paths.

Applications
Three-way gate valves of this type are used in plastic processing and bulk material handling systems to divert, combine, or shut off the flow of dry granules, pellets, or powders through pneumatic conveying lines or gravity-fed chutes. In plastic dryer applications, they direct dried resin from a hopper dryer to one of multiple destinations — such as different molding machines, a purge outlet, or a return path — by a simple manual lever selection. Beyond plastics, this style of multi-port diverter valve is common in food processing, grain handling, chemical powder transfer, and other dry bulk material conveying systems where a single inlet must be switched between two or more outlets without tools or powered actuators. The three-position lever and body diagram allow an operator to quickly select the active flow path at a glance.
This three-way gate valve with hand lever has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working plastic dryer system where it was actively in use. The cast body shows normal surface rust and wear consistent with industrial service — surface rust is visible on the top flange and base, and the body has the typical scuffing of a removed industrial component. The hand lever and knobs are intact. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
