Overview
The Schrader Bellows B942200140 is a solenoid-actuated directional control valve used in compressed air systems across manufacturing, packaging, and automation environments. This EV5 model delivers consistent switching performance at 150 PSI maximum operating pressure with 12V AC, 60 Hz coil energization. The valve’s 1/4-inch NPT porting makes it a common fit in modular pneumatic manifold assemblies and standalone air circuit control applications. Available in used condition, this unit represents a cost-effective alternative for system maintenance and upgrades.
Key Features
- Solenoid-operated directional control — Reliable electromagnetic actuation for air valve switching
- 150 PSI rated pressure — Suitable for most industrial pneumatic systems (compressed air, nitrogen)
- 12V AC, 60 Hz coil — Standard North American single-phase electrical specification
