Smc Pneumatics VM220-N02-36A Mechanically Operated Valve

Product Description

The SMC PNEUMATICS VM220-N02-36A is a mechanically operated directional control valve designed for compressed air and pneumatic fluid power systems. It features a 2-way, 2-position configuration controlled by a key selector actuator, making it suitable for applications where lockout or restricted operation is required. The valve accepts a 1/4 inch NPT inlet connection and carries a Cv rating of 0.870, indicating its flow capacity relative to line pressure drop. Pneumatic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this valve in air circuits where deliberate, keyed actuation prevents unauthorized or accidental operation.

This valve is appropriate for industrial pneumatic control panels, machine tool circuits, and facility air distribution points where access control is a priority. The key selector actuator requires a physical key to shift between positions, adding a layer of operational security to the pneumatic circuit. It is suited for light to moderate duty compressed air service in both production and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 2-way, 2-position valve design for straightforward on/off flow control
• Key selector actuator restricts unauthorized actuation of the valve
• 1/4 inch NPT inlet connection for standard compressed air plumbing
• Cv rating of 0.870 for predictable flow performance
• 2-port configuration for direct inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation component for 2-way mechanically operated pneumatic valve applications requiring a 1/4 inch NPT port and key selector actuation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any pneumatic valve. Ensure NPT threads are sealed with appropriate thread sealant tape or compound rated for pneumatic service. Verify the Cv rating is compatible with system flow requirements before finalizing installation.
