I would guess this is a common valve for water softener installations. I am thinking of two of these units installed with a bypass pipe connecting the inline ports of the valve. Rotating both valves to the 0 degree position bypasses the softener through the pipe connecting the valves. Rotating both valves to the 90 position routes water through the softener. Rotating to the 180 position closes both valves, allowing for servicing of the softener.
I saw one Nibco valve that looked like a possibility, but it state "pressure on the closed port must be greater than the open port or the seal will can blow out", so not a likely candidate.
Any manufacturers or part numbers to recommend?
