Pro-source 4550230012PRO 5-way Manual Lever Valve

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 4550230012PRO is a manually operated 5-way directional control valve actuated by a hand lever with spring return. It controls the direction of airflow or fluid flow in pneumatic or hydraulic circuits using a simple lever mechanism that snaps back to position under spring tension. The valve carries a Cv rating of 0.976, meaning it supports moderate flow capacity suited for compact control applications. With NPT threaded ports and a 2-position design, it installs directly into standard porting blocks or manifolds. The unit weighs 0.59 pounds and measures 3.97 inches in height, 3.44 inches in length, and 1.38 inches in width.

This valve is used in pneumatic control systems where manual, mechanical actuation is required without electrical power. Typical applications include industrial automation panels, machine tool controls, and fluid power test rigs where an operator needs direct, tactile control over circuit switching. The spring-return lever design is well suited for momentary-signal applications where the circuit must return to a default state when the operator releases the handle. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of valve as part of directional control assemblies in both OEM equipment builds and field service repairs.

Key Features

• 5-way, 2-position directional control design for versatile pneumatic or hydraulic circuit routing
• Hand lever with spring-return actuation for reliable, repeatable momentary operation
• Cv rating of 0.976 supporting moderate flow capacity in compact control circuits
• NPT thread type for direct connection to standard North American fittings and manifolds
• Compact footprint at 3.44 inches long and 1.38 inches wide for tight panel or inline installations
• Lightweight at 0.59 pounds, reducing load on mounting structures and manifold assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation directional control valve for pneumatic and fluid power systems using NPT-ported, 5-way, 2-position manual valve configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation of directional control valves should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or industrial maintenance professional. De-energize and fully depressurize the system before removing any existing valve or making port connections. Verify that all port thread engagements are sealed with appropriate thread sealant rated for the media and pressure in the circuit. Follow applicable NFPA and ISO fluid power standards for directional valve installation and system commissioning.
