Smc Pneumatics AS2201F-N01-03 Flow Control Elbow Valve

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS AS2201F-N01-03 is a pneumatic flow control elbow valve designed to regulate airflow speed in compressed air circuits. The valve controls outflow, allowing technicians to meter air exiting an actuator or cylinder for precise speed control. Built with a polybutylene terephthalate body, it connects a 5/32-inch OD tube to a 1/8-inch male NPT fitting in an elbow configuration. The elbow orientation simplifies routing in tight panel or manifold installations. This valve is installed by pneumatic system technicians, mechanical maintenance professionals, and automation equipment builders working with compressed air systems.

The AS2201F-N01-03 is suited for use in industrial automation, machine tool, and process control applications where cylinder or actuator speed must be regulated. The elbow form factor makes it a practical choice in space-constrained enclosures or where tubing must change direction immediately at the port. It is rated for operation between -5 degrees C and 60 degrees C, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. This valve is typically installed inline at the actuator port or on a manifold block.

Key Features

• Flow control elbow configuration for compact right-angle tube routing
• Outflow speed control for precise actuator or cylinder extension/retraction metering
• Polybutylene terephthalate body for chemical resistance and durability in pneumatic service
• 5/32-inch OD tube connection with 1/8-inch male NPT thread for standard compressed air plumbing
• Operating temperature range of -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C for typical indoor industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit flow and speed control valve for compressed air circuits using 5/32-inch OD tubing and 1/8-inch male NPT ported components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic system technicians or mechanical maintenance personnel. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any flow control valve. Apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service to the NPT threads, and do not overtighten, as the polybutylene terephthalate body can crack under excessive torque. Verify airflow direction matches the valve outflow orientation before finalizing connections.
