Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, these valves create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.

Key-Operated Two-Speed Two-Action
Air Directional Control Valves

Because they require a key to operate, you can limit who is able to adjust these valves. They create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Also known as 4-way and 5/2 valves.

Two-Speed Two-Action Air Directional
Control Valves with Full Shut-Off

These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. They create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Also known as 4-way and 5/3 closed center valves.

Two-Speed Two-Action Air Directional
Control Valves with Exhausting Shut-Off

In the off position, these valves exhaust all air pressure, allowing the equipment to return to the neutral position. They create two actions and have two exhaust ports, which allows you to control the speed of each action by attaching a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Also known as 4-way and 5/3 exhaust center valves.

Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Control these valves with one hand. Also known as 4/2 valves, they create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder.

Two-Hand Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Since both hands are required to simultaneously press the buttons, these valves protect workers from accidental machinery start-up. They create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder.

Two-Action Air Directional Control
Valves with Exhausting Shut-Off

In the off position, these valves exhaust all air pressure, allowing the equipment to return to the neutral position. Also known as 4/3 exhaust-center valves, they create two actions, such as extracting and then retracting a double-acting cylinder.

Two-Action Air Directional
Control Valves with Full Shut-Off

These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. Also known as 4/3 closed-center valves, they create two actions, such as extracting and then retracting a double-acting cylinder.

Single-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Create one action with these valves, such as extending a cylinder.

Safety-Lockout Single-Action
Air Directional Control Valves

To prevent accidental start-up, these valves can be locked in their off position with a padlock. They create one action, such as extending a cylinder.

Multiple-Position Single-Action
Air Directional Control Valves

Control six different outputs from a single source of airflow. These valves have one inlet port and six outlet ports. Push in and rotate the dial to move between outlet ports and send airflow to a different output.

Remote-Location Two-Hand Single-Action
Air Directional Control Valves

The push buttons that operate these valves are separate from the logic unit, allowing you to position them away from machinery. Since both hands are required to simultaneously press the buttons, they protect workers from accidental machinery start-up. They create one action, such as extending a cylinder.

Two-Hand Single-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Since both hands are required to simultaneously press the buttons, these valves protect workers from accidental machinery start-up. They create one action, such as extending a cylinder.

Key-Operated Single-Action
Air Directional Control Valves

Because they require a key to operate, you can limit who is able to adjust these valves. They create one action, such as extending a cylinder.

Simultaneous Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Also known as 4-way and 5/3 pressure center valves, these valves create two actions at the same time, such as extending two single-acting cylinders at once.

Single-Action Mechanically Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

A simple automation solution that requires no programming, these valves are activated when an object, such as a box rolling on a conveyor, pushes the actuator. They create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Also known as 3-way and 3/2 valves.

Two-Speed Two-Action Mechanically
Operated Air Directional Control Valves

Single-Action Foot-Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

These valves create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Use your foot to operate them, leaving your hands free to perform other tasks. Also known as 3-way or 3/2 valves.

Two-Action Foot-Operated
Air Directional Control Valves

Also known as 4-way and 4/2 valves, these valves create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a cylinder. Use your foot to operate them, leaving your hands free to perform other tasks.

Air Directional Control Valves

Air On/Off Valves

Quiet Safety-Lockout Air On/Off Valves

These valves have a muffler to reduce exhaust noise. A padlock locks the handle in the shut-off position so you can disconnect air tools safely.

Air On/Off Valves

Control flow in two directions from a single source—these valves have two balls for independent control and shut-off of each outlet.

Sliding-Sleeve Air On/Off Valves

Slide the knurled sleeve in one direction to stop flow, and slide it back to start flow again.

Foot-Operated Air On/Off Valves

Turn airflow on and off with your foot to keep your hands free to perform other tasks.

Safety-Lockout Air On/Off Valves

A padlock locks the handle of these valves in the shut-off position so you can disconnect air tools safely.

Dual Shut-Off Threaded Diverting Valves

Control flow in two directions from a single source—these valves have two handles for independent operation of each outlet. Use them with water, oil, and inert gas.
