The 2 Position / 3 Ports (1/4") Mechanical Valve is a durable, manually or mechanically actuated pneumatic valve designed for straightforward and reliable air control in industrial systems. Built to control single-acting cylinders or signal control functions, this 3/2-way valve comes in Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) configurations.

Featuring a 1/4" BSP or NPT port size, this valve offers higher airflow capacity than smaller variants, making it suitable for medium-duty pneumatic systems. It can be actuated by various mechanisms like roller levers, push buttons, plungers, or toggles, enabling it to be integrated into mechanical jigs, clamping devices, pressing systems, and manual workstations.

Constructed using anodized aluminum or zinc alloy, the valve is corrosion-resistant and ideal for rugged industrial use. It is sealed with NBR (with optional FKM/Viton seals for high-temperature or chemical environments), providing reliable operation with filtered compressed air, lubricated or not.

This valve is engineered for a long operational life, rated for over 10 million cycles, and is easy to install in panel, base, or fixture mounts. Its fast, precise response and mechanical reliability make it an excellent choice for manual or non-electric pneumatic control applications.

 Key Features of 2 Position / 3 Ports (1/4") Mechanical Valve:

⚙️ Mechanically Actuated
