Manually-Operated Directional Control Valves

A manually operated directional control valve is a type of valve used to manually control the direction of airflow in a pneumatic system. These valves are actuated by mechanical force—such as a lever, push button, or knob—instead of electric or pneumatic signals.

• Directs compressed air to one or more outputs (actuators, cylinders, etc.)

• Changes position via a manual operator (e.g., toggle, roller, pushbutton)

• Controls on/off or directional motion in a system
