Pro-source 4730231011PRO Foot Pedal Manual Valve 3-way

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 4730231011PRO is a foot pedal-actuated manual mechanical valve designed for hands-free flow control in pneumatic and fluid systems. This 3-way, 2-position valve uses a foot pedal as both its actuator and control mechanism, freeing the operator's hands for other tasks during actuation. It carries a Cv rating of 0.65, indicating its flow capacity through the valve body. Ports are threaded in NPT, making connection to standard pipe and fitting systems straightforward. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of valve in applications requiring repeatable, operator-triggered flow switching without electrical actuation.

This valve suits light industrial, pneumatic tool, and machine control applications where foot-operated switching is preferred for ergonomic or workflow reasons. The 3-way configuration allows it to direct flow between two outlet paths or to alternate supply and exhaust functions depending on plumbing arrangement. It is a manually actuated mechanical valve with no electrical components, making it suitable for environments where electrical actuation is impractical or undesirable. Typical installations include assembly line fixtures, pneumatic press controls, and fluid transfer stations.

Key Features

• Foot pedal actuator for hands-free manual operation
• 3-way, 2-position valve design allows supply-and-exhaust or flow-diversion configurations
• 0.65 Cv flow rating suitable for light pneumatic and fluid control circuits
• NPT threaded ports for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Fully mechanical operation with no electrical components required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install foot pedal manual mechanical valve for pneumatic and fluid control systems using NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or industrial maintenance technician familiar with pneumatic and fluid control systems. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any valve. Ensure NPT threads are properly sealed with an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media being controlled. Verify that the foot pedal is positioned and secured so unintended actuation cannot occur during normal operation.
