Dwyer Instruments WE33 | 3-way Tri-clamp stainless steel ball valve
Genuine Dwyer Series WE33 ball valve from General Tech Services LLC, Saudi Arabia, with free Saudi Arabia shipping available.
Part No. WE33
Product Overview
The Dwyer Series WE33 is a 3-way stainless steel ball valve with tri-clamp sanitary end connections, designed for mixing and diverting liquids and gases. The tri-clamp connections allow fast, tool-free removal for cleaning, making this configuration suitable for applications where convenient maintenance and hygienic access are important.
The 3-way design allows one valve to perform mixing or diverting functions that may otherwise require multiple 2-way valves. The valve features a 316 stainless steel (CF8M) ball, blowout-proof stem, reinforced PTFE (RTFE) seats and PTFE seals and packing.
The WE33 can be supplied as a manual valve or configured with direct-mounted electric or pneumatic actuators. Electric actuator options include weatherproof or explosion-proof versions, various supply voltages, two-position control and 4–20 mA modulating control. Electric actuators also feature thermal overload protection and a permanently lubricated gear train.
Pneumatic actuator options include double-acting versions requiring 40–115 psi and spring-return versions requiring 80 psi, with a maximum pneumatic supply of 120 psi. The actuators use anodized and epoxy-coated aluminium construction and mount directly to the valve for a compact assembly.
Limit switches can be fitted directly to the valve for remote position indication, including manual valve configurations. Provide the required size, media, pressure conditions and actuation requirements so the exact model configuration can be confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dwyer Series WE33?
The Dwyer Series WE33 is a 3-way tri-clamp stainless steel ball valve from Dwyer/W.E. Anderson, designed for mixing and diverting liquids and gases.
What type of end connections does the WE33 have?
The WE33 uses tri-clamp sanitary end connections, allowing convenient removal of the valve for cleaning.
Can the WE33 be automated?
Yes. The valve can be supplied as a manual valve or configured with direct-mounted electric or pneumatic actuators.
What control options are available with electric actuators?
Electric actuator configurations include two-position control and 4–20 mA modulating control. Weatherproof and explosion-proof versions are available depending on configuration.
What pneumatic actuator options are available?
The available configurations include double-acting actuators with 40–115 psi supply and spring-return actuators with 80 psi supply. Maximum pneumatic supply is 120 psi.
What is a 3-way ball valve used for?
A 3-way ball valve can be used to mix or divert liquids and gases through a single valve. The exact flow function depends on the valve configuration and application.
Can position feedback be added?
Yes. Limit switches can be mounted directly to the valve for remote position indication, including on manual configurations.
What is the difference between the WE33 and WE31?
The WE33 uses tri-clamp end connections, while the WE31 is the 3-way NPT stainless steel ball valve referenced in the supplied product information. Selection depends on the required connection type, installation arrangement and flow application.
