CONTROLAIR VALVE MODEL HC-2-FM

The HC-2-FM valve is designed for open deck marine service and is the same as the HC-2-FX CONTROLAIR valve, except it features longer handle travel, more accurate positioning and a polished chrome plated bronze cover and handle.

The valve is a lever operated, pressure regulating, 4-way directional valve. It consists of two 3-way directional valves and a 3-way pressure regulating portion. The regulating portion furnishes inlet air to the directional valves. Each directional valve has its own outlet port.

Initial lever movement from “mid” position selects the outlet port to be activated. Further lever movement in the same direction controls the outlet pressure at that point. The opposite port remains connected to atmosphere. Lever remains in the position where released. Handle holding friction is adjustable.

Use these valves to control two clutches, a clutch and a brake, two single acting cylinders or a double acting cylinder… wherever you want to selectively control pressure in either of two separate air lines with one lever.
