SNS PNEUMATIC 1/4"NPT 5 Way 2 Postion Air Hand Lever Operated Valve Pneumatic Solenoid Valve Manual Control Push-Pull Aluminium Alloy Direct Acting Type 4H210-N08

Affordable two way hand control for our light duty fixtures.

It was quite the shock when I opened my package of these controllers and found no fittings were included which resulted in a complete delay for at least four days to get the correct fittings to make the controller work.

It does what it is suppose to do.

It works. This isn't a valve that I would actually install anywhere permanently, and it certainly is not something you would ever use in an industrial application. But if you need a cheap valve for some occasional bench testing, this isn't a bad choice. It takes a bit of force to operate, but it otherwise does what its supposed to. I would compare it to lower end Harbor Freight level of quality: Its cheap, it works, but there's also a chance it may blow up on you at any time!

Works great!

Nice quality. The only issue is the the joystick seems a little rough to operate. Saying that, it works flawlessly. Just not smoothly. Oil would help, but I'm using it to pressurize a water tank for drinking. My setup: ball valve, filter, regulator/filter, this valve, water tank. Picture is the function test. It's cleaner and installed permanently out of sight.

This joy stick type pneumatic controller works well on a double action pneumatic cylinder. Depending on how you connect the air lines; move the stick to one side and the ram extends move to center position and it is in neutral. Move stick to opposite direction and ram retracts. I use these on various pneumatic tools I construct. The photo is a pneumatic bullet sizer I made for sizing powder coated bullets.

Quality product.... but note it's only open or closed
