About On/Off Valves

Fast-Acting Panel-Mount Threaded On/Off Valves
Start or stop flow with the flip of a toggle switch or the push of a button. These valves are often used in testing and sampling applications where you need to dispense a small amount of liquid. They fit through a cutout, so the body of the valve stays safe inside your instrumentation panel.
Nickel-plated brass valves resist corrosion better than plain brass valves. 316 stainless steel valves stand up to corrosion better than both plain and nickel-plated brass valves.
Manual-return valves stay open until you flip the toggle off. Since they don't need to be held open, they’re often used to dispense larger samples than spring-return valves. It’s also easy to check if these valves are open or not based on the toggle’s position. Spring-return valves automatically close when you release the toggle or push button. They’re ideal for intermittent use and precise flow control to prevent spills.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Fast-Acting Panel-Mount On/Off Valves with Yor-Lok Fittings
- Valve Type: Stem
- For Use With: Air, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Neon, Oil, Water, Xenon
- Seal Material: PTFE Plastic
Flip the toggle to quickly turn these valves on and off. All have threads and a hex nut below the handle for installation in instrument panels. For extra gripping power and a strong seal, they have Yor-Lok fittings with two sleeves that bite into tubing as you tighten the nut. All are compatible with Swagelok®, Let-Lok, and Parker A-Lok fittings.
316 stainless steel valves are more corrosion resistant than brass valves.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Noncontact On/Off Valves
Also known as pinch valves, these valves stop flow by squeezing tubing from the outside. Since they don’t directly contact your fluid, they’re good for applications where you need to prevent contamination. Install these valves in instrument panels—the body is sized to fit standard cutouts. It’s a closed body, so it surrounds the tubing for a secure hold. Once these valves are installed, their toggle switch sticks out of the panel, so you can quickly start or stop the flow without exposing your line. They can be used with any media that’s chemically compatible with your tubing.

Swivel On/Off Valves with Barbed Fittings
For easy installation from any direction, the body on these valves swivels 360°. They have barbs to securely grip tubing. Often used in testing and sampling applications, they quickly open and close with a toggle or button.
Toggle-switch valves stay open until you flip them closed. Since they don’t need to be held open, they’re often used to dispense large samples. The toggle’s position shows you if they’re open or closed.
Push-button valves open when you press the button. When released, the button springs back and automatically stops flow. They’re ideal for intermittent use and controlling flow to avoid spills.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Panel-Mount On/Off Valves with Barbed Fittings
- Valve Type: Stem
- For Use With: Water, Oil, Air
- Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber
Flip a switch or push a button to control flow while your line stays protected behind an instrument panel. These valves come with a nut to mount the switch or button to the panel. They’re often used to dispense small amounts of liquid for testing and sampling since they allow you to turn flow on and off quickly. Barbs on these valves grip tubing for a secure hold behind the panel. For good corrosion resistance in wet environments, the body is nickel-plated brass.
Toggle-switch valves stay open until you flip them closed. They don't need to be held open, so they’re often used to dispense larger samples than push-button valves. You’ll know at a glance if these valves are open or closed based on the toggle's position.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
