Three Way (3-way) Ball Valves, also known as directional ball valves, multi-port ball valves and diverting ball valves, are the easiest way to change the direction of flow in plumbing systems. Available in L-Port and T-Port configurations, the valves can switch flow from one line to another or open all three ports so that fluids or gas run from one line into two. 

The T-port 3 way stainless steel ball valve (VBS3T) also serves as a mixing valve, bringing together two sources to be mixed in the outflow pipe. The L-port 3 way stainless steel ball valve (VBS3L) is a directional valve with a full shut-off capability, something the T-port does not do without modification.
