5/2 Foot-Operated Directional Valve 1/4 NPT | NFV420
Pneuforce NFV420 is a 5/2 foot-operated directional valve for industrial compressed-air and pneumatic control systems. This manually or mechanically actuated valve changes pneumatic flow paths without a solenoid signal. Confirm how its actuation, return or detent mechanism behaves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NFV420 do?
Pneuforce NFV420 is a 5/2 foot-operated directional valve. This manually or mechanically actuated valve changes pneumatic flow paths without a solenoid signal. Confirm how its actuation, return or detent mechanism behaves.
What port size does NFV420 use?
The primary port designation on this model is 1/4 NPT. Some multiport valves use different exhaust-port dimensions; consult the full product data before selecting fittings.
What do the valve function numbers mean?
5/2 means two switching positions and 5 ports. It describes the directional flow-path arrangement, not pipe thread size.
Can it operate a double-acting pneumatic cylinder?
A 5/2 directional valve is commonly used to alternately supply and exhaust the two chambers of a double-acting cylinder. Confirm required actuation and fail-state behaviour.
Does this valve need electrical power?
No solenoid control voltage is required for the mechanical or manual actuation described. Confirm the valve actuation and return behaviour.
