It uses a tube-to-male NPT connection with a 1\/2-inch tube outside diameter and a 1\/2-inch male thread, making it a compact inline solution for controlling actuator speed and cylinder motion. The body is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate, a durable thermoplastic suited for pneumatic service. This valve controls outflow, meaning it meters air exiting the actuator to achieve smooth, consistent motion. It is installed by pneumatic system technicians and maintenance professionals in industrial and automation environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for use in compressed air circuits where precise speed control of pneumatic actuators is required. The elbow configuration allows routing changes at the connection point, reducing the need for additional fittings in tight spaces. It is appropriate for both light industrial and general-purpose automation applications. The operating temperature range spans -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C, making it suitable for standard indoor industrial conditions. Typical applications include pneumatic cylinder speed control, directional control circuit tuning, and flow restriction in automated machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutflow speed control meters air exiting the actuator for smooth cylinder movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElbow body configuration allows 90-degree routing at the connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolybutylene terephthalate body offers resistance to wear and chemical exposure in pneumatic service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube x MNPT connection accepts 1\/2-inch OD tubing with a 1\/2-inch male NPT thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for operating temperatures from -5 degrees C to 60 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for pneumatic flow and speed control circuits using 1\/2-inch OD tube and 1\/2-inch NPT threaded ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic technician. Depressurize the air supply and bleed residual pressure from the circuit before removing or installing any flow control valve. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the push-to-connect fitting to achieve a proper seal. Thread engagement should follow standard NPT assembly practices with appropriate thread sealant applied to male threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flow Control Elbow\u003c\/li\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: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMale Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Flow Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Out (Outflow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polybutylene Terephthalate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\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: AS4201F-N04-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52090343489842,"sku":"AS4201F-N04-13","price":36.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/69e3f9bb9f62f3bd92b76a90a37706fe.jpg?v=1790062390","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/smc-pneumatics-as4201f-n04-13-flow-control-elbow-valve","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
