Pro-source 4826900314PRO Exhaust Flow Control Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 4826900314PRO is a miniature exhaust-style air flow control valve designed to regulate airflow in pneumatic systems. It accepts a 1/4-inch tube outside diameter and features a 1/8-inch male thread connection, making it a compact solution for speed control in small-bore pneumatic circuits. This valve operates by metering exhaust airflow from a cylinder or actuator, allowing the technician to dial in precise extend or retract speed. At 0.031 pounds, the unit is lightweight and suited for space-constrained panel or manifold installations. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and maintenance mechanics are the typical installers.

This valve is intended for use in miniature pneumatic circuit applications where exhaust flow control is required. Common installations include small pneumatic actuators, automation equipment, and light industrial machinery where controlled cylinder speed is critical. The 1/4-inch tube OD and 1/8-inch male thread configuration fits standard push-to-connect fittings and ported manifolds common in compact pneumatic assemblies. It is appropriate for both OEM equipment builds and field service replacement in residential and light commercial automation or HVAC pneumatic control applications.

Key Features

• Miniature exhaust-style flow control for precise cylinder speed regulation
• 1/4-inch tube outside diameter for push-to-connect compatibility
• 1/8-inch male thread for direct port or manifold mounting
• Compact form factor: 0.9 inches long, 0.39 inches wide, 1.22 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.031 pounds, suited for space-limited installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for miniature pneumatic circuits using 1/4-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch male thread ported connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pneumatic systems technician or qualified maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit before removing or installing any flow control valve. Verify thread type and tube OD before installation to avoid fitting damage. Adjust the flow-control needle gradually after pressurization to achieve the desired actuator speed.
