Prevost Conex Male Thread Valve Three-Ways (Inlet Male / Outlet Male)

Description

Prevost Conex Male Thread Valve Three-Ways (Inlet Male / Outlet Male)

Centralized Manual Command for High-Pressure Manifolds

The Prevost Conex Male Thread Valve Three-Ways is a rugged manual control component designed for the direct management of air distribution at the source. This specific configuration features a Male Threaded Inlet and two Male Threaded Outlets, allowing it to serve as a primary junction point directly on a manifold, tank, or valve block.

By combining the functionality of a 3-way splitter with an integrated manual shut-off, this valve enables technicians to isolate or engage dual downstream pneumatic circuits with a single, quick-action lever.

Key Features

• Dual-Port Male Distribution: Features a master male inlet and two male threaded outlets. This is the ideal solution for expanding a single manifold port into two separate, independently controlled or simultaneously operated lines.
• Ergonomic 90° Lever: The high-visibility manual handle provides an immediate visual confirmation of the valve state. Its smooth, low-torque operation allows for effortless air isolation even under full system pressure.
• Compact Threaded Integration: By threading directly into equipment ports, this valve eliminates the need for intermediate nipple fittings or adapters, reducing the overall footprint and the number of potential leak points in your system.
• Full-Flow Internal Porting: Precision-engineered to minimize internal restriction. Even when diverting air to two separate outlets, the valve maintains high CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) to ensure your tools and actuators perform at peak power.
• Industrial Nickel-Plated Construction: Manufactured from premium nickel-plated brass and high-impact polymers.¹ This hybrid construction ensures excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and a long service life in harsh workshop environments.

The Professional Choice for System Isolation

In complex pneumatic networks, the ability to isolate specific branches is critical for both safety and energy efficiency. The Prevost Conex Male Thread Valve acts as a localized “lock-out” point. It allows you to:

1. Isolate Downstream Sections: Perform maintenance on specific tools or machine sections without shutting down the entire plant air supply.
2. Air Conservation: Shut off air to unused manifold branches to prevent “phantom” air loss from downstream leaks during idle hours.
3. Modular Expansion: Easily add dual-line capability to existing single-port regulators or filters.

Ideal Applications

• Manifold Header Blocks: Expanding a primary supply port into two controlled branch lines.
• Compressor Outlets: Serving as a compact splitter and shut-off directly at the air tank or discharge port.
• Machine Entry Points: Providing a master manual shut-off and distribution point for dual-actuator machine sections.
• Heavy-Duty Maintenance Drops: Splitting a main wall drop to feed two separate retractable hose reels.

Installation Tip

When installing the male threaded inlet into your manifold, use a high-quality thread sealant (for NPT) or ensure the seated gasket is in place (for BSPP). Once the base is secure, the outlets are ready to receive your choice of Prevost Conex push-to-connect female adapters or quick-disconnect couplers.
