Smc Pneumatics AS2000-N01 Inline Air Flow Control Valve

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS AS2000-N01 is an inline air flow control valve designed to regulate airflow and control actuator speed in compressed air systems. It features a 1/8-inch male NPT inlet and a 1/8-inch female NPT outlet, configured for in-flow speed control. This valve meters air entering an actuator rather than exhausting it, making it the correct choice when inlet-side flow restriction is required. Licensed pneumatic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting-style valve directly into pneumatic circuit lines without additional hardware.

The AS2000-N01 is suited for residential and light commercial pneumatic control applications, including automation equipment, pneumatic actuators, and compressed air tool circuits. Its compact inline body and standard NPT threading make it compatible with common pipe and fitting assemblies found in industrial and commercial pneumatic systems. It is appropriate for use wherever precise in-flow metering is needed to tune cylinder or actuator stroke speed.

Key Features

• Inline valve body for direct in-line installation in compressed air circuits
• 1/8-inch male NPT inlet for standard pipe and fitting connections
• 1/8-inch female NPT outlet for downstream component connection
• In-flow configuration meters air entering the actuator for speed control
• Combined flow and speed control function in a single valve body
• NPT thread type ensures compatibility with standard North American pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline flow control valve for compressed air pneumatic circuits using 1/8-inch NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic or industrial maintenance technicians. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic components. Apply thread sealant appropriate for compressed air service to all NPT connections and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per fitting manufacturer guidelines. Do not overtighten NPT fittings, as this can crack valve bodies or distort sealing surfaces.
