Prevost Conex Male Thread/Tube Valve Three-Ways

Description

Prevost Conex Male Thread/Tube Valve Three-Ways

Direct Port-to-Line Command with Manual Shut-Off

The Prevost Conex Male Thread/Tube Valve Three-Ways is a versatile manual control junction designed to mount directly into a threaded port while distributing air to two separate tubing lines. This specific configuration features a Male Threaded Inlet and two Push-in Tubing Outlets, providing an “all-in-one” solution for port branching and localized flow management.

With an integrated ergonomic lever, this valve allows for the instantaneous isolation of two downstream pneumatic circuits directly at the source—ideal for manifolds, cylinders, or air preparation units.

Key Features

• Direct Threaded Mounting: The male threaded base (NPT, BSPP, or BSPT) installs directly into your equipment port, eliminating the need for intermediate fittings and significantly reducing the assembly’s overall footprint.
• Dual Push-in Outlets: Equipped with two outlet ports featuring Prevost’s signature stainless steel gripping rings. Installation is 100% tool-free—simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) in for a secure, vibration-proof seal.
• Ergonomic 90° Manual Lever: The high-visibility handle provides a clear visual indicator of the valve’s status. A simple quarter-turn allows you to “lock out” or engage the airflow to both branch lines simultaneously.
• 360° Swivel Body: After the threaded base is tightened, the polymer valve body can be rotated fully. This allows you to orient the manual lever and the tubing outlets for maximum accessibility and clean line routing.
• Industrial Hybrid Construction: Combines a high-strength nickel-plated brass threaded base with a high-impact, corrosion-resistant technical polymer body, ensuring durability in environments exposed to moisture and industrial oils.

The Efficient Command Hub for Pneumatic Logic

The Prevost Conex Three-Way Port Valve is a “system-level” problem solver. In many automated machines, a single manifold port needs to supply air to multiple localized actuators or sensors. This valve simplifies that requirement by acting as both a splitter and a safety switch. It allows technicians to:

1. Isolate Sub-Systems: Shut off air to a specific robotic arm or workstation for maintenance without depressurizing the entire plant.
2. Clean Up “Spaghetti” Routing: By branching directly at the port, you reduce the need for external T-junctions hanging in the air, resulting in a more professional and reliable build.
3. Prevent Air Loss: Easily close off unused lines during downtime to prevent energy waste from minor downstream leaks.

Ideal Applications

• Manifold Header Outlets: Branching a main supply into two controlled pilot or actuator lines.
• Air Prep Units: Mounting directly to a filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) outlet to feed two separate machine sections.
• Pneumatic Control Cabinets: Providing a master manual shut-off for dual banks of solenoid valves.
• Maintenance Drops: Creating a localized, easy-to-reach isolation point on the side of a machine frame.

Installation Tip

When installing the male threaded inlet, use a wrench on the hexagonal brass base to ensure a primary seal (using thread sealant for NPT or the integrated gasket for BSPP). Once the body is swiveled to the desired position, ensure your tubing is cut perfectly square with a dedicated tube cutter before insertion to guarantee a 100% leak-free connection.
