Parker PXBB3911 plunger manual control valve regulates the flow of pneumatic fluids by manually controlling the movement of a plunger within the valve body. This plunger control valve is widely used in the manufacturing, automotive and oil & gas industries. It allows operators to precisely adjust the flow rate, pressure and direction of the fluid. This pneumatic manual control valve is irreplaceable in controlling pneumatic machinery, operating pneumatic tools and managing fluid flow in pipelines. The manual operation gives the operator flexibility in situations where immediate adjustments are required.
Features:
- Parker PXBB3911 plunger manual control valve has Viton seals for reliable pneumatic installations.
- This plunger control valve's NNP (normally non-passing) switching style keeps the flow restricted in the absence of manual involvement.
