The Foot Pedal Valve is a mechanically actuated pneumatic control valve operated by foot pressure, allowing users to control airflow in hands-free applications. Designed for convenience, safety, and reliability, these valves are commonly used in pressing, clamping, cutting, and assembly operations, where both hands must remain free for handling workpieces or tools.

Available in 3/2-way (for single-acting cylinders) and 5/2-way (for double-acting cylinders) configurations, the foot pedal valve operates with a simple foot press mechanism that instantly opens or closes the valve ports. It is typically available in 1/4” BSP or NPT port sizes and supports operating pressures up to 8 bar.

Constructed using a durable die-cast aluminum body with a non-slip pedal surface, this valve is built for industrial use and high-cycle reliability. Some models come with an optional protective safety cover to prevent accidental actuation, enhancing workplace safety.

The Foot Pedal Valve is ideal for automated workstations, pneumatic jigs, mechanical presses, and any application where manual triggering is impractical or unsafe.
