Pro-source 4730230011PRO Foot Pedal Valve 3-way Npt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 4730230011PRO is a manually operated foot pedal valve designed for hands-free fluid control in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. This 3-way, 2-position valve uses a spring-actuated foot pedal mechanism, returning to its default position when foot pressure is released. With a Cv rating of 0.65, it regulates flow in applications where operators need to keep both hands free during a cycle. NPT threading provides straightforward integration into standard pipe systems. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install this valve in industrial, shop, or production environments where manual actuation must be foot-operated for safety or workflow reasons.

This valve suits industrial pneumatic circuits, assembly lines, shop air systems, and production equipment where hands-free actuation is required. The spring-return design makes it appropriate for momentary-contact applications - the valve shifts when the pedal is depressed and immediately resets when released. It is well-suited for machine tool operations, clamping circuits, or any process requiring intermittent flow control without hand contact at the valve body.

Key Features

• 3-way, 2-position configuration for directional flow control
• Spring-actuated foot pedal returns valve to default position on release
• Cv rating of 0.65 for controlled flow capacity
• NPT thread type for standard pipe system compatibility
• Hands-free operation keeps operator hands available at the work surface
• Compact footprint at 6.97 inches long, 3.86 inches wide, and 3.42 inches tall

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation manual mechanical valve for pneumatic systems using NPT-threaded connections and requiring 3-way, 2-position foot pedal actuation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified maintenance technician or industrial pipefitter. Depressurize and de-energize the pneumatic or fluid system fully before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant to NPT connections per the system manufacturer guidelines, and do not overtighten fittings. Verify Cv rating and port sizing match system flow requirements before placing the valve in service.
