3M 7000118702 Throttle Control Valve Air Tool

Product Description

The 3M 7000118702 is a throttle control valve designed for pneumatic random orbital sanders and orbital sanders. This valve regulates airflow into the tool, allowing the correct volume of air to reach the motor for consistent, controlled operation. It is a direct-service replacement component intended for technicians and maintenance personnel who service pneumatic abrasive tools. Proper airflow regulation directly affects tool speed and performance, making this valve a critical internal component in air-powered sanding equipment.

This throttle control valve is suited for use in industrial, bodywork, and trade environments where 3M random orbital and orbital sanders are in service. It is a standard component used in routine tool maintenance and repair, typically replaced when the tool exhibits inconsistent speed, unresponsive throttle action, or reduced airflow output. Technicians performing pneumatic tool rebuilds will encounter this component as part of standard service procedures.

Key Features

• Regulates air intake volume for consistent tool speed and operation
• Standard fitment valve for 3M random orbital and orbital sander platforms
