It uses a tube-to-male NPT connection with a 3\/8-inch tube outside diameter and a 3\/8-inch male NPT thread. The valve is configured for outflow control, meaning it meters air exiting the actuator to manage cylinder or actuator speed. The body is molded from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), a glass-reinforced thermoplastic suited for pneumatic service. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance technicians, and automation specialists typically install this type of valve in pneumatic control circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for use in compressed-air pneumatic circuits found in industrial automation, process equipment, and HVAC pneumatic actuator systems. It is installed inline between a directional control valve and a pneumatic cylinder or actuator to provide adjustable speed control on the exhaust stroke. The operating temperature range of -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C makes it appropriate for standard indoor industrial and light commercial environments. It is a single-unit supply item with a minimum order quantity of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutflow (meter-out) configuration for actuator speed control on the exhaust stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube x MNPT connection accepts 3\/8-inch OD tubing on one end and a 3\/8-inch male NPT fitting on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePBT body construction provides chemical resistance and dimensional stability under pneumatic service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT thread type for compatibility with standard North American pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install flow control valve for pneumatic circuits using 3\/8-inch OD tubing and 3\/8-inch NPT ported components.

Depressurize the compressed-air circuit completely before removing or installing any valve components. Ensure NPT threads are sealed with an appropriate thread sealant compatible with compressed air service. Verify tubing OD and NPT port size against system requirements before installation to avoid misfit connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tube x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Flow Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Outflow (meter-out)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flow and Speed Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -5 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SMC PNEUMATICS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AS3201F-N03-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985916559666,"sku":"AS3201F-N03-11","price":32.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66b63afaec262604a72281037e305ac4.jpg?v=1789985810","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/smc-pneumatics-as3201f-n03-11-air-flow-control-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
