There are three basic configurations:

The two inlet connections with common branch outlet type (BV830) allows proportional blending of two flows into one stream. The valve can also be used for flow splitting duties with one inlet and two outlets if flow is in reverse.

For proportional flow splitting the two outlet with common inlet branch type (BV831) is recommended. The valve is designed to divert a quantity of the process medium from one section of the system to another.

On applications requiring a tight shut off at high pressure drops a balanced design (BV832) would be selected. This design can be used only on flow splitting services.
