Smc Pneumatics AS2201F-N02-05 Flow Control Elbow Valve

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS AS2201F-N02-05 is a flow control elbow valve designed to regulate airflow speed in pneumatic systems. It features a tube-to-male NPT connection configuration and accepts a 3/16 inch tube OD. The body is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a durable thermoplastic suited for compressed air service. This valve controls outflow, allowing a technician to meter the exhaust side of a pneumatic actuator or cylinder to manage motion speed. It is installed by HVAC technicians, automation service techs, and pneumatic system specialists working on compressed air control circuits.

This valve is suited for light industrial and commercial pneumatic control applications where precise speed or flow regulation is required. The elbow orientation makes it practical in tight installation spaces where a straight fitting would not clear adjacent components. The 1/4 inch male NPT thread connects directly to manifolds, cylinders, or valve bodies with standard NPT ports. Operating temperatures range from -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C, making this valve appropriate for indoor compressed air systems in controlled environments.

Key Features

• Flow control elbow configuration for use in space-constrained pneumatic circuits
• Tube x MNPT connection accepts 3/16 inch OD tubing on one end and 1/4 inch male NPT on the other
• Outflow control meters exhaust air to regulate actuator or cylinder speed
• PBT body material offers resistance to wear and dimensional stability in compressed air service
• Operating range of -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C suits indoor industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for pneumatic control circuits using 3/16 inch OD tubing and 1/4 inch NPT ported valves, actuators, or manifolds.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic fitting or flow control valve. Use thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service on the NPT threads and verify the tube is fully seated and locked before restoring pressure. Torque the NPT connection per standard trade practice without over-tightening the PBT body.
