6-Way Configuration
Minimum Pressure Drop · Straight-Through Flow · API 614 Compliant
Straight-Through Flow — Minimum Pressure Drop
In the 6-Way Inline configuration, the inlet and the active outlet port are aligned on the same axis — the fluid travels in a straight line through the valve body to the active equipment train. This eliminates the directional changes present in same-side and opposite-side configurations, resulting in the lowest possible pressure drop.
This makes the inline configuration the standard choice for API 614 turbine lube oil skids, compressor seal oil systems, and any application where minimizing pressure drop is a design requirement.

6-Way Inline Porting
Why Choose Inline Over Same-Side or Opposite-Side?
In the inline configuration, the common inlet and the active outlet are directly opposite each other — in-line through the valve body — so flow passes straight through with no directional change. This produces the minimum possible pressure drop across the valve in the active position. The remaining outlet ports are distributed around the valve body and are isolated when not selected. Choose inline whenever pressure drop across the valve is a critical design constraint.
