Description

This is a straight 2-way ball valve for open/close control of the air flow. It has a ball with a bore drilled through it which allows air flow when the bore is aligned with the ports.

It has a 10 mm push-in fitting on one side and an R 1/2 inch male threaded port on the other side. 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 9 bar (130.5 psi. Also suitable for vacuum applications at a pressure of -1 bar (-14.5 psi). It has PTFE 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
