Pro-source 5230221411PRO 3-way Palm Button Air Valve

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 5230221411PRO is a manually operated 3-way pneumatic air valve actuated by a spring-return palm button mechanism. Designed for manual mechanical control of compressed air circuits, this valve opens airflow when the palm button is depressed and returns to its default position via spring force upon release. With a Cv rating of 0.976 and NPT threaded ports, it integrates directly into standard pneumatic plumbing. The red-colored palm button provides clear visual identification at the control station. Industrial maintenance technicians and pneumatic system integrators are the primary installers of this type of directional control valve.

This valve is suited for light industrial and manufacturing environments where manual operator-initiated pneumatic control is required. Typical applications include actuating pneumatic cylinders, initiating clamping sequences, or controlling air-powered tooling in assembly and fabrication operations. The spring-return 2-position design makes it appropriate for momentary-contact control tasks where airflow should cease automatically when the operator releases the button.

Key Features

• 3-way, 2-position directional control valve for pneumatic circuits
• Spring-return palm button actuator for momentary manual operation
• Cv rating of 0.976 for consistent airflow performance
• NPT threaded ports for standard pneumatic plumbing connections
• Red palm button for high-visibility identification at the operator station
• Compact footprint at 1.38 inches wide and 1.02 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard NPT-ported pneumatic control circuits in light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or pneumatic system integrator. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic supply line before installing or replacing this valve in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Use appropriate thread sealant on NPT connections and verify port orientation before tightening to avoid system misrouting. Do not exceed the rated operating pressure for this valve type.
