Description
The 4HV / 4HVL Series Hand Lever Valve is a manually operated pneumatic directional control valve designed for reliable switching of compressed air circuits in industrial automation systems. Available in both 4/2-way and 4/3-way configurations, the series offers smooth directional control with precise lever operation, low pressure loss, and a large effective flow area.
The valve features a direct-acting manual control mechanism that provides accurate switching and responsive operation. Three center-position options are available for 4/3-way models, allowing users to select the most suitable control function for their application. The robust construction supports both panel mounting and body mounting, making installation flexible for machine builders and pneumatic system integrators.
Designed for use with filtered compressed air, the 4HV/4HVL Series is suitable for industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment, pneumatic control panels, assembly systems, and operator-controlled automation applications.
