Pro-source 5230221412PRO 3-way Palm Button Air Valve

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 5230221412PRO is a 3-way, manually operated pneumatic air valve with a palm button actuator and spring return mechanism. It controls directional airflow in pneumatic circuits through a simple press-and-release action - the spring returns the valve to its default position when pressure is removed. Rated at a Cv of 0.759, this valve is suited for low-flow pneumatic control applications. The red palm button provides a clear visual indicator and is sized for reliable hand actuation in industrial and mechanical service environments. The NPT threaded ports allow straightforward integration into standard pneumatic plumbing.

This valve is used in pneumatic systems requiring manual directional control, such as actuator control circuits, press tooling, clamping fixtures, and other mechanically operated air circuits. It is appropriate for light industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance applications where a compact, manually triggered 3-way valve is needed. Installation is typically performed by pipefitters, pneumatic system technicians, or maintenance mechanics working on compressed air systems.

Key Features

• 3-way, 2-position valve design for directional pneumatic control
• Palm button actuator with spring return for momentary operation
• Cv rating of 0.759 for controlled low-flow pneumatic circuits
• NPT threaded ports for standard pneumatic plumbing connections
• Red palm button for quick visual identification and ergonomic actuation
• Compact footprint suited for space-constrained control panels and fixtures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install 3-way manual air valve for pneumatic control circuits using standard NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic or mechanical technicians. Always depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before servicing or installing any pneumatic valve. Ensure all NPT threads are properly sealed with thread sealant tape or compound rated for compressed air service. Verify that system operating pressure and flow requirements are within the rated capacity of the valve before returning the circuit to service.
