    In the off position, these valves stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. Often used to extend and then retract a cylinder at different speeds, 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. They actuate by air signal, so they're good for environments where electrical use may be dangerous. Valves direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is by air, so they go back to their starting position when the air supply is moved from the first air pilot to the second air pilot. Also known as 4-way and 5/3 closed center valves.

    Flow Coefficient (Cv)Flow coefficient (Cv) indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.
