Mead CSV-101 Two-hand Control Air Valve 1/8 Inch Nptf

Product Description

The MEAD CSV-101 is a two-hand control unit air valve designed for pneumatic safety and control applications. It uses an air pilot actuator and features a 4-position, 2-port valve design with a 1/8 inch NPTF threaded inlet. This valve is built to enforce simultaneous two-hand operator input, a common requirement on punch presses, stamping equipment, and other machinery where point-of-operation guarding is mandated. Operating pressure ranges from 70 psi to 120 psi, and the valve is rated for temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Industrial maintenance technicians and pneumatic systems specialists are the primary installers of this component.

The CSV-101 is suited for use on industrial machinery requiring two-hand anti-tie-down or anti-repeat control logic. Typical installations include hydraulic and pneumatic press lines, automated assembly equipment, and other production machinery where operator safety interlocks are required by OSHA or ANSI machine guarding standards. The standard style and NPTF thread type make it compatible with common pneumatic circuit configurations found in manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Air pilot actuator enforces simultaneous two-hand operator input for safety interlock applications
• 4-position valve design supports anti-tie-down and anti-repeat control sequences
• 1/8 inch NPTF threaded inlet for leak-free tapered thread connections in pneumatic circuits
• 2-port configuration for straightforward inline pneumatic circuit integration
• Wide operating pressure range of 70 to 120 psi suits most industrial pneumatic supply systems
• Temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F allows use in demanding plant environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial pneumatic control circuits requiring a two-hand control unit valve with a 1/8 inch NPTF inlet and air pilot actuation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic supply line before removing or installing this valve. Verify that supply pressure falls within the 70 to 120 psi operating range before commissioning. Consult applicable OSHA machine guarding regulations and ANSI B11 standards when integrating two-hand control devices into press or stamping equipment safety circuits.
