4-Way Manual Air Valve
The Parker 521831000 is a 4-way, 3-position manual air control valve with a 1/4 inch NPT port. Its aluminum body measures 5 3/4 inches long and operates at up to 150 psi. The lever actuator returns manually and the center position is closed.
Pneumatic system builders
This valve suits installers needing a direct-acting 4-way valve with a 0.83 cfm flow coefficient and a 0.8 Cv rating. It is not for systems requiring solenoid actuation, higher flow capacities, or port sizes other than 1/4 inch NPT.
150 psi pressure rating
The maximum pressure rating of 150 psi determines if this valve matches the circuit design. The operating temperature range spans 32 to 175 degrees F. Verify the system pressure before installation.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 4-way 3-position version or a 2-way alternative for my pneumatic circuit?
The 4-way 3-position design with center closed lets you pressurize, exhaust and hold a double-acting cylinder from one valve — a 2-way cannot do that.
What does the 0.83 cfm rating mean when the valve is installed on a live air line?
At 150 psi supply the valve passes up to 0.83 cfm, so a small bore cylinder will stroke at moderate speed without starving the actuator.
How does the 1/4 NPT connection limit the flow I can actually get?
The 1/4 NPT ports and 0.8 Cv cap practical flow to the rated 0.83 cfm; larger tubing or fittings will not increase throughput past that limit.
