Smc Pneumatics VM120-N01-08A 2-way Valve Toggle Lever

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS VM120-N01-08A is a mechanically operated pneumatic valve designed for 2-way, 2-position flow control in compressed air and inert gas systems. It uses a toggle lever actuator for manual operation, allowing a technician to lock airflow in the open or closed position without electrical input. The valve features a 1/8 inch NPT inlet with a Cv rating of 0.110, making it suited for low-flow pneumatic circuits. Industrial maintenance technicians and pneumatic system integrators are the typical installers of this valve in panel-mount or inline applications.

This valve is used in industrial pneumatic control systems where manual actuation is required at the point of service. Common applications include machine tool circuits, automation panels, and equipment isolation points where a technician needs a reliable manual shutoff or diverter without relying on a solenoid or pilot signal. The 2-position toggle lever provides tactile confirmation of valve state, which is useful in maintenance and troubleshooting scenarios on production equipment.

Key Features

• 2-way, 2-position design controls a single flow path with fully open or fully closed states
• Toggle lever actuator allows manual locking in either position without continuous hand pressure
• 1/8 inch NPT inlet fits standard small-bore pneumatic fittings and manifolds
• Cv rating of 0.110 matched to low-flow pneumatic circuit requirements
• 2-port configuration simplifies inline installation in compressed air lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original installation component for industrial pneumatic control circuits requiring a manual 2-way toggle valve with 1/8 inch NPT porting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize the pneumatic circuit completely before removing or installing this valve. Use thread sealant tape rated for pneumatic service on all NPT connections and avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage on the valve body. Verify system operating pressure is within the valve rated range before returning the circuit to service.
