Common questions on this part
The BLX-MAL-4200 is detented (bistable). When the operator flips the lever forward or backward, it locks securely in that position until shifted again. Spring-return (momentary) models are also available upon request.
Yes. It connects directly to double-acting pneumatic cylinders (such as the BLX-ISO-4400 or BLX-MRC-4500) using standard G1/4" pneumatic push-in fittings and 8mm or 10mm polyurethane tubing.
Yes. Standard G1/4" sintered bronze or plastic pneumatic silencers screw directly into the two exhaust ports to reduce exhaust air noise and prevent dust ingress.
Yes. The valve collar includes an external panel-mount thread and locking nut, allowing the valve body to be mounted behind a console with only the lever protruding.
Yes. STARNEX stocks BLX-MAL manual valves along with pneumatic tubing and fittings at our Nairobi counter.
