A multiport valve has more than two ports and can control flow in three, four, or five directions depending on application needs. They are durable, corrosion-resistant, and require minimal maintenance, making them suitable for various sectors like water treatment, food, and chemical operations. Multiport valves, available in different types such as top mount, side mount, and sky facing mount, help simplify distribution systems and improve efficiency by reducing leakage and the number of valves needed in a process line.
