It features a 3-way, 2-position valve design with a push button mushroom-style actuator finished in red for quick visual identification. The valve carries a Cv rating of 0.870, indicating its flow capacity under standard conditions. Both the inlet and outlet ports are 1\/4 inch NPT, making connections straightforward with standard pneumatic fittings. This valve is installed by industrial maintenance technicians, automation engineers, and pneumatic system integrators working on machine control and fluid power circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for use in pneumatic control panels, machinery, and automated production equipment where a manual, mechanically actuated directional valve is required. The mushroom-style push button actuator provides a large contact surface for easy manual operation, a design commonly used in operator control stations and safety circuit layouts. With 3 ports and a 3-position arrangement, it fits into directional control applications where flow routing between supply, work, and exhaust paths must be manually controlled. Typical installations include light industrial machinery, pneumatic fixtures, and test stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-way, 2-position directional valve configuration for reliable flow path control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMushroom-style push button actuator with red color for high visibility and easy manual operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCv rating of 0.870 for consistent, predictable flow performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch NPT inlet and outlet ports for compatibility with standard pneumatic plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-port design supports supply, work port, and exhaust routing in a compact body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style mechanically operated valve for pneumatic directional control circuits using 1\/4 inch NPT ported components in industrial automation and machinery applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is installed by qualified pneumatic technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Before installation or service, depressurize the pneumatic circuit and verify that the air supply is fully isolated. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for pneumatic service on NPT connections and avoid over-tightening, which can damage port threads. Verify the valve orientation and port labeling against the circuit diagram before applying system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Design\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-Way, 2-Position\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ports\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActuator Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Push Button (Mushroom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCv Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.870\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: VM230-N02-30RA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52089855541554,"sku":"VM230-N02-30RA","price":69.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/94fa37a445cf9c233d12ec368a46ea12.jpg?v=1790062105","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/smc-pneumatics-vm230-n02-30ra-3-way-valve-push-button","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
