How a 4-Way Valve Works (Quick Overview)
A 4-way valve typically:
- Directs air to two different output paths
- Allows switching between extend/retract or on/off functions
- Controls actuators or system states via electrical input
Ideal for systems requiring controlled air direction changes, not just simple on/off flow.
Installation Notes
- Verify 120VAC power compatibility
- Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on all connections
- Ensure correct port configuration during installation
- Follow system wiring and airflow diagrams
- Test operation after installation
Compatibility & Notes
- Designed for abrasive blasting and pneumatic control systems
- Works with standard 1/4" NPT fittings
- Not interchangeable with simple 2-way valves
- Ensure proper application for 4-way functionality
