5-Way Air Pilot Valves
5-Way Air Pilot Valves use a pneumatic pilot signal to direct compressed air within industrial control circuits. They are suitable for automated machinery and remote valve operation.
Pneumatic Operation
Uses an air pilot signal rather than an electrical solenoid.
Fast Response
Designed for rapid switching in industrial control circuits.
Multiple Functions
Available configurations support a range of actuator control requirements.
Durable Bodies
Industrial materials support repeated operation and long service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an air pilot valve?
An air pilot valve shifts when a pneumatic control signal is applied to its pilot port.
Why use pneumatic pilot operation?
It enables remote control without placing an electrical coil at the valve and can suit hazardous, hot or wet locations when properly specified.
What is the difference between 3-way and 5-way?
A 3-way valve commonly controls a single-acting actuator or pilot signal. A 5-way valve commonly controls a double-acting actuator.
What pilot pressure is required?
Use the minimum and maximum pilot pressure specified for the selected valve series.
How is valve flow selected?
Consider actuator volume, cycle speed, operating pressure, tubing length and allowable pressure drop.
Can these valves be manifold mounted?
Some series may support manifold mounting. Confirm the mounting arrangement for the selected model.
What materials are used?
Series may use anodized aluminum, stainless steel and compatible industrial sealing materials.
Can Pneuforce assist with valve selection?
Yes. Pneuforce can help determine function, port size, flow and pilot requirements.
