    Flexible-Mount Air Flow Control Valves

    A swiveling outlet port allows you to make a connection from any direction. These valves adjust the volume of air exiting an air cylinder (meter out) to control the speed of air-powered equipment. They control flow in one direction as air moves from the inlet to the outlet. Air flows freely in the opposite direction. The valve body has an elbow shape, which allows you to mount them directly to cylinder ports, eliminating additional tubing between the cylinder and valve for better control and consistency than inline valves. Insert plastic or soft metal tubing into the push-to-connect outlet ports.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve. When selecting between valves with the same port size, choose the valve with the higher flow coefficient to ensure it provides enough airflow to operate your system.

    Air-Operated Air Flow Control Valves with Safety Shut-Off

    Image of System. Front orientation. CrossSection view. Contains Annotated. Air Flow Control Valves. Air-Operated Air Flow Control Valves with Safety Shut-Off.
    Protect air-powered equipment in emergency shut-off situations—when system pressure drops, the air signal stops and these valves automatically close to stop cylinder motion, even at a mid-stroke. They control the speed of air-powered equipment by adjusting the volume of airflow. A pressure-release button allows you to exhaust any trapped air pressure from the system after shut down. Install them in pairs on cylinder exhaust ports, and use tee connectors (not included) to direct exhaust air from the cylinder to the air of the opposite valve, and to connect valves to a directional control valve. The elbow shape allows you to mount them directly to cylinder ports, eliminating additional tubing or piping between the cylinder and valve for better control and consistency than inline valves.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

    Corrosion-Resistant Single-Control Two-Direction Air Flow Control Valves

    Made of polybutylene, these plastic valves are more corrosion resistant than valves made of aluminum or nylon. A single dial regulates the speed of airflow in two directions as it enters (meter in) and exits (meter out) equipment, and are often used to control the extension and retraction speed of an air cylinder at the same time. Insert plastic or soft metal tubing into the push-to-connect outlet ports; the outlet ports swivel 360° so you can make a connection from any direction. The elbow shape allows you to mount these valves directly to cylinder ports, eliminating additional tubing between the cylinder and valve for better control and consistency than inline valves.
    Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.
