DIRECTIONALCONTROLVALVES
DIRECTIONALCONTROLVALVES
Clippard Instrument Laboratory offers a variety of directional control valves for pneumatic systems, available in poppet or spool designs with 2-, 3-, or 4-way functions. Sizes range from #3-56 and #10-32 (M5) to 1/8” NPT (G1/8) ports, handling pressures up to 300 psig/21 bar. Actuation options include solenoid, air pilot, manual, and mechanical actuators, with mounting styles such as in-line, panel mount, manifold mount, or clearance holes for mounting screws.
Proper valve sizing is crucial for system performance. Undersized valves may slow the system, while oversized valves can cause excessive speed, impact, wear, and air consumption. A relative air flow chart assists in selecting the appropriate valve for specific applications.
Various valve models are listed with specifications such as flow rates (scfm or l/min), port sizes, and configurations. For example, the MTV-2 poppet valve offers a flow rate of 7.3 scfm with #10-32 ports, while the TV-2S spool valve provides 8 scfm with the same port size.
Options like Electroless Nickel Plating for corrosion resistance and Viton seals for high-temperature or chemically compatible applications enhance valve durability and functionality in specific environments.
All control valves operate within a temperature range of 32 to 230°F (0 to 110°C).
Clippard provides custom design or modification services to meet specific application needs, ensuring tailored products for exact requirements.

Catalog excerpts
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVES Every air system is unique . . . and Clippard has the air valve you need. Clippard control valves are available in poppet or spool design; 2-, 3-, or 4-way functions, in sizes from #3-56 and #10-32 (M5) through 1/8” NPT (G1/8) ports; and for pressures to 300 psig/21 bar. They are available with solenoid, air pilot, manual and mechanical actuators. Mounting styles include in-line, panel mount, manifold mount or clearance holes for mounting screws. When designing a pneumatic system, choose the proper size for each component. A valve of insufficient capacity may cause an entire system to operate slower than expected. Conversely, utilizing a valve which possesses greater capacity than is actually required results in needless size and often leads to excessive speed, impact, wear, and air consumption. The chart below shows the variety of valve flows available from Clippard. It can be used as a guide to determine the proper valve for an actual application.
