input and exit ports of the novel three way valve can be attached to a corresponding flange on a cleaning device to pump fluid in around and through the novel hygienic three way valve referring now to fig4 a novel three way valve 140 is illustrated with ports 142 and 144 oriented on main valve body 146 in a different radial arrangement than ports 66 and 74 or main valve body 12 the operation of piston rod 40 as well as the tapered valve seats 70 and 110 operate in a similar manner as heretofore described as will be recognized the orientation of ports 142 and 144 can be modified both radially and axially to suit particular requirements and the length of piston rod can be modified to accommodate particular requirements the novel hygienic three way valve in operation provides not only for the mixing of products in the second chamber by utilizing the sealing head 78 to provide a disturbance in the flow of the product but also allows for use as a diversion valve depending upon the application of the novel three way valve as heretofore discussed piston rod 40 can seal port 66 from port 74 by closing tapered valve seat 70 with top sealing surface 114 of sealing head 78 alternatively sealing head 78 can close port 160 from port 66 and 74 by closing tapered valve seat 110 in valve sealing port 16 to provide diversion of product introduced into port 66 out through 74 where diversion of product rather than mixing is desired in the novel three way valve alternatively the novel three way.
