TMC Pneumatics 1/2 Inch Manifolds Valves

TMC Pneumatics offers a range of 1/2-inch manifold valves designed for pneumatic applications. These valves are integral components used in pneumatic systems to control the flow of compressed air and other gases. Here is an overview of key features and considerations for TMC Pneumatics 1/2-inch manifold valves:

1. Valve Type:

   • TMC Pneumatics' 1/2-inch manifold valves are typically solenoid-operated or manually actuated valves used for controlling pneumatic flow in industrial applications.
   • Solenoid valves are electrically controlled and allow for remote operation using electrical signals.
   • Manual valves require manual actuation (such as turning a handle or lever) to control airflow.

2. Size and Connection:

   • The designation "1/2 inch" refers to the nominal pipe size (NPS) of the valve ports, indicating compatibility with pipes or tubing of this diameter.
   • These valves are suitable for connecting to 1/2-inch pneumatic tubing or fittings commonly used in pneumatic systems.

3. Functionality:

   • Solenoid Valves: Solenoid-operated manifold valves are used for automated control of air or gas flow based on electrical signals.
     • They can be normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), or 3-way/4-way configurations for different flow control applications.
   • Manual Valves: Manual manifold valves require physical manipulation (such as turning a knob or lever) to open, close, or adjust airflow.
     • They provide simplicity and reliability in manual operation but lack the automation capabilities of solenoid valves.

4. Key Features:

   • Durable Construction: TMC Pneumatics' manifold valves are constructed from high-quality materials like brass, stainless steel, or engineering plastics to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion.
