Description
This is a 3-way ball valve used for directional air flow control with push-in fittings on all three ports. It has an L-bore and you can see the circuit connection with the arrows on the handle. Therefore, you can only connect the middle port to one of the other ports.
The central port is a 5/16 inch push-in fitting and side ports are 5/16 inch push-in fittings. The push-in fitting provides an easy connection with the tubing. Push the tube in and the fitting will fix it with stainless steel claws.
It is suitable for a maximum operating pressure of 7 bar (101.5 psi. Also suitable for vacuum applications at a pressure of -1 bar (-14.5 psi). It has NBR seals that make it suitable for applications within a temperature range from 0 to 60°C (32 to 140 °F) (no freezing).
Use a quarter-turn handle to open or close the valve. Make sure to turn it completely to avoid damaging the valve.
Pros:
- Suitable for vacuum applications
- Equipped with easy to connect push-in fittings
Cons:
- Dust could damage the pneumatic system if vacuum is applied without a filter on the inlet side
