Pro-source 5230221611PRO 3-way Manual Air Valve Palm Button

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 5230221611PRO is a 3-way, manually operated pneumatic air valve with a flush palm button actuator and spring return. It controls the flow of compressed air in pneumatic circuits by directing air through one of three ports based on button actuation. With a Cv rating of 0.976 and NPT threading, this valve is suited for light-to-medium duty pneumatic control applications. The flush palm button design reduces the risk of accidental activation. It is typically installed by maintenance technicians, automation specialists, or industrial mechanics working on pneumatic control systems.

This valve is used in pneumatic control panels, machine tool applications, and factory automation systems where manual directional control of airflow is required. The spring-actuated return means the valve automatically returns to its default position when the operator releases the button, making it appropriate for momentary-contact control circuits. Its compact footprint and NPT threaded ports allow for straightforward integration into standard pneumatic manifold or inline installations.

Key Features

• 3-way, 2-position manual mechanical valve for directional pneumatic control
• Flush palm button actuator reduces risk of unintended actuation
• Spring return automatically resets valve to default position on release
• Cv rating of 0.976 for light-to-medium pneumatic flow applications
• NPT threaded ports for compatibility with standard pneumatic fittings
• Red color for quick visual identification on control panels

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement or new-installation manually operated pneumatic directional control valve for standard NPT-threaded pneumatic systems and control panels requiring 3-way, 2-position manual actuation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit before installing or replacing this valve. Ensure NPT threads are properly sealed with thread tape or appropriate pneumatic thread sealant. Verify port orientation and circuit logic before restoring system pressure.
