Prevost Bi-Directional Flow Regulator Fittings
Precision Airflow Control in Both Directions.
Take total command of your pneumatic equipment with Prevost Bi-Directional Flow Regulators. Unlike standard “uni-directional” controllers that only restrict exhaust air (meter-out), these specialized fittings restrict and regulate airflow in both directions (meter-in and meter-out).
This “needle valve” style functionality allows you to precisely throttle the volume of air passing through the line, making them ideal for controlling the speed of pneumatic cylinders, actuators, or simply reducing the flow rate to sensitive air tools.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two-Way Regulation: Controls airflow speed regardless of the direction of the air. Whether the air is entering the cylinder or exhausting, the restriction remains constant.
- Precise Adjustment: Features a fine-threaded adjustment screw (often with a knurled knob or screwdriver slot) that allows for minute changes to the flow rate, giving you exact speed control.
- Locking Nut: Once the desired flow is set, the integrated locking nut secures the adjustment screw, preventing vibration or accidental contact from changing your settings.
- Compact Integration: Designed to mount directly onto cylinder ports or control valves, these fittings save space by eliminating the need for bulky in-line flow control valves.
- Push-to-Connect Ports: Equipped with Prevost’s reliable push-in tube connections for fast, tool-free installation with standard nylon or polyurethane tubing.

Ideal Applications
- Cylinder Speed Control: Reducing the stroke speed of pistons in both extension and retraction phases evenly.
- Air Tool Throttling: Reducing the maximum speed of die grinders or drills for delicate work.
- Actuator Dampening: Preventing pneumatic doors or clamps from slamming shut by restricting the air volume.
Why Choose Bi-Directional?
When you need to slow things down or create a steady, controlled movement regardless of air direction, a standard check valve regulator won’t work. Prevost Bi-Directional Fittings provide the constant, reliable resistance you need for smooth machine operation.
