Pro-source 4550230011PRO 5-way Manual Lever Spring Valve

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 4550230011PRO is a 5-way, 2-position manually operated directional control valve with a hand lever and spring-return actuator. It controls airflow or fluid routing in pneumatic circuits by shifting between two positions via a hand lever, with a spring mechanism to return the spool to its default state. The valve carries a Cv rating of 0.976 and connects via NPT threads, making it a direct-fit choice for light industrial and mechanical pneumatic plumbing applications. Installation is typically handled by mechanical technicians, millwrights, or fluid power specialists working on pneumatic control panels or machine assemblies.

This valve is suited for pneumatic systems requiring a 5-port, 2-position directional control function, such as actuating double-acting cylinders or routing compressed air between two circuit paths. The manual lever operation makes it appropriate for applications where operator-controlled actuation is required without electrical solenoids. It fits into compact panel or manifold assemblies given its overall dimensions of approximately 3.44 inches in length, 1.38 inches in width, and 3.97 inches in height.

Key Features

• 5-way, 2-position spool design for directional air or fluid control
• Hand lever with spring-return actuator for reliable manual operation
• Cv rating of 0.976 for consistent flow performance in light pneumatic circuits
• NPT threaded ports for standard pipe fitting connections
• 5 ports allow direct control of double-acting actuators or split-circuit routing
• Compact footprint suitable for panel or manifold mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install manual directional control valve for pneumatic systems requiring a 5-port, 2-position, NPT-threaded hand lever valve with spring return.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic system before removing any existing valve or making connections. Ensure all NPT fittings are properly sealed with thread sealant rated for pneumatic service. Do not exceed the pressure and flow ratings of the valve or connected system components.
