Pro-source 5250221412PRO 5-way Palm Button Air Valve

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 5250221412PRO is a manually operated, mechanically actuated 5-way 2-position directional control valve designed for compressed air systems. Actuated by a palm button with spring return, it controls airflow direction across five ports to sequence or reverse pneumatic actuators, cylinders, and other air-powered devices. The valve carries a Cv rating of 0.759 and uses NPT threaded connections. It is compact enough for panel mounting or direct inline installation and is identified by its red palm button housing. Installation is typically handled by pneumatic system technicians or millwrights working on automated equipment, production machinery, or industrial air circuits.

This valve fits applications where manual, operator-initiated control of a double-acting pneumatic cylinder or similar actuator is required. The spring-return design means the valve shifts to its default position as soon as the operator releases the palm button, providing a failsafe return to the rest state. Common installation scenarios include assembly line equipment, pneumatic press controls, and maintenance bypass circuits. The 5-way 2-position configuration supports full extend and retract control of a double-acting cylinder from a single valve body.

Key Features

• 5-way, 2-position valve design for full bidirectional cylinder control
• Palm button actuator with spring return for operator-initiated, failsafe control
• Cv rating of 0.759 supports typical light-duty pneumatic actuator flow requirements
• NPT threaded ports for standard compressed air plumbing connections
• Red palm button housing for clear visual identification at the operator station
• Compact body at 5.17 inches height and 1.38 inches width for space-constrained panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation directional control valve for manually operated compressed air circuits using NPT threaded connections in industrial and light-commercial pneumatic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any valve in the circuit. Verify that upstream supply pressure and flow requirements are within the valve Cv and pressure rating before commissioning. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and any local machinery safety codes during installation and maintenance.
