Aro/ingersoll-rand 104104-N02 Inline Air Flow Control Valve

Product Description

The ARO/INGERSOLL-RAND 104104-N02 is an inline air flow control needle valve designed to regulate airflow in pneumatic systems. This valve uses a needle-style metering element to provide precise in-flow control, allowing technicians to fine-tune the speed of actuators, cylinders, and other pneumatic components. With a 1/4 inch NPTF female thread connection and NPT thread type, it installs directly into standard pneumatic lines. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for industrial and automation environments. Installation is performed by pneumatic system technicians and maintenance professionals working on compressed-air circuits.

The 104104-N02 is used in inline pneumatic plumbing where in-flow metering is required. Typical applications include controlling actuator speed in automated machinery, assembly equipment, and process control systems. The NPTF connection provides a pressure-tight seal without the need for additional sealant in most installations. This valve is appropriate for light industrial and general-purpose compressed-air systems requiring repeatable, adjustable flow restriction at the inlet side of a component.

Key Features

• Inline needle valve design for precise in-flow air metering
• 1/4 inch NPTF female thread for pressure-tight pneumatic connections
• NPT thread type compatible with standard compressed-air fittings
• Compact and lightweight at 0.2 pounds for tight-space installations
• In-flow configuration meters air entering the connected component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline needle valve for standard 1/4 inch NPT pneumatic plumbing in compressed-air systems.

Installation Notes

This valve is installed by qualified pneumatic or maintenance technicians. Depressurize and lock out the compressed-air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT connections unless the NPTF taper provides a sufficient dry seal for the application. Do not overtighten the valve body into the fitting, as this can damage the thread or distort the valve seat.
