The AVS-5 series now includes single and double-pilot directional control air pilot valves, offering spring return or center closed operation. All are body ported five-port (four-way) spool valves and are available in 1/8” to 1/2” NPT port sizes with flow coefficients from 0.67 to 2.79. AVS-5 series air pilot valves start at $14.

NITRA CVS series directional control foot pedal valves are five-port (four-way) spool valves designed for non-electrical operator control applications. Available in momentary or latching operation models, foot pedal valves feature a 1/4” NPT port with a flow coefficient of 0.80. CVS foot pedal valves start at $25.50.
