04 · Frequently asked

Common questions on this part

Yes. By plugging one of the cylinder ports with a G1/4" plug, the 5/2-way valve functions seamlessly as a 3/2-way valve for single-acting spring-return air cylinders.

No. The BLX-PFS-4300 is 100% pneumatic, requiring only air tubing. This eliminates electrical shock hazards and makes it safe for hazardous, damp, or washdown areas.

The protective safety hood is an integral safety feature designed to comply with OSHA safety standards to prevent accidental tripping. It is firmly bolted to the heavy base.

Standard G1/4" male push-in pneumatic tube fittings (for 8mm or 10mm polyurethane tubing) thread directly into the valve ports.

Yes. The BLX-PFS-4300 is stocked at STARNEX in Nairobi for immediate trade counter pickup or delivery.
