Norgren T1000A3800 Needle Air Flow Control Valve 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The NORGREN T1000A3800 is a needle-style air flow control valve designed to regulate airflow in pneumatic systems. Built with an aluminum body, this valve uses an NPT threaded connection with a 3/8-inch inlet size and is configured for in-flow control, meaning it meters air entering the downstream component. Needle valves of this type allow precise manual adjustment of flow rate, making them well suited for applications where consistent air delivery or controlled actuation speed is required. At 0.33 pounds, the T1000A3800 is a compact, lightweight component appropriate for panel-mounted or inline installations in industrial and commercial pneumatic circuits.

This valve is used in compressed air systems where fine flow adjustment is needed at individual circuit points. Typical applications include pneumatic actuator speed control, cylinder cushioning circuits, and air tool supply lines. The in-flow configuration controls the rate of air entering a device rather than exhausting it, which affects actuator extend or retract speed depending on plumbing orientation. It is installed by pipefitters, pneumatic technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on production equipment, automated machinery, or HVAC pneumatic controls.

Key Features

• Needle valve design provides precise manual flow adjustment
• In-flow configuration meters air entering the downstream component
• 3/8-inch NPT threaded inlet for standard compressed air piping
• Aluminum body construction for lightweight corrosion-resistant service
• Compact form factor at 0.33 pounds for space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install needle flow control valve for pneumatic systems using 3/8-inch NPT threaded connections in compressed air service.

Installation Notes

Shut off and bleed compressed air supply pressure to zero before removing or installing any pneumatic valve. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for compressed air service on NPT threads and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns recommended by standard NPT practice. A qualified pipefitter or pneumatic technician should perform the installation and verify there are no leaks under full system pressure before returning the circuit to service.
