English term or phrase: three position gas ballast
I would like to know how you could translate "three position gas ballast" into Japanese. I'm now working on a manual of a laboratory vacuum pump, and the gas ballast is an element of the machine which prevents condensable vapors from condensing in the vacuum pump. Any suggestion appreciated.

三位置ガスバラスト弁


Explanation:
この"three position gas ballast"は、真空ポンプでガスバラストを行うためのガスバラスト弁のことのように思えます。弁ですから、位置が切り替えられるようになっていて、その位置が3つあるのでしょう。

三点切替ガスバラスト


Explanation:
2 other people's answers are fine, but isn't "3 position" normally 三点 (santen) in Japanese? For example, 2 position switch is 三点切替スイッチ (santen kirikae switch).
