Clippard TV-4M 3-Position 4-Way Toggle Valve, 1/8″ NPT, Enp Steel

Description

Product Overview

The Clippard TV-4M is a precision‑engineered 3‑position, 4‑way toggle valve designed for demanding industrial environments. Constructed from high‑grade Enp steel, the valve offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long‑term performance even when handling air, water, or oil. Its compact 1/8″ NPT thread makes it easy to integrate into existing piping systems, while the robust toggle mechanism provides smooth, reliable operation across three distinct positions: normally open, normally closed, and a neutral middle position.

Key specifications include a maximum input pressure of 150 psig, flow capacities of 4.5 SCFM at 50 PSIG and 7.5 SCFM at 100 PSIG, and a lightweight package measuring 5.5 × 4.75 × 0.2 inches and weighing only 1.59 ounces. The valve’s design incorporates a 15/32‑32 thread mounting style, complete with nut and lock washers for secure installation. Manufactured by Clippard, a trusted name in pneumatic components, the TV-4M has earned a top‑ranking position in the toggle valve category, reflecting its popularity among engineers and maintenance professionals.

Beyond its core technical attributes, the TV-4M offers versatility through its ability to operate with multiple media types. Whether you need to regulate compressed air in a manufacturing line, control water flow in a cooling system, or manage oil pressure in hydraulic circuits, this valve delivers consistent performance. Its straightforward design reduces the risk of leaks and simplifies routine maintenance, making it a cost‑effective solution for both new installations and retrofits.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of industrial applications, the TV-4M excels in environments where precise flow control and rapid response are essential. In automated assembly lines, the valve can be used to direct pneumatic actuators, ensuring synchronized motion of robotic arms and conveyor belts. In HVAC systems, it serves as a reliable component for managing chilled water distribution, helping maintain consistent temperature control across large facilities.

For hydraulic systems, the TV-4M’s ability to handle oil at pressures up to 150 psig makes it suitable for controlling cylinder actuation in heavy‑duty machinery. Its compact footprint allows it to be mounted in tight spaces, such as control panels or valve boxes, without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the valve’s three‑position toggle action enables operators to quickly switch between flow states, reducing downtime during maintenance or process changes.

Maintenance personnel appreciate the TV-4M’s user‑friendly design, which features a simple toggle lever that provides tactile feedback and clear position indication. The inclusion of lock washers ensures a secure connection, minimizing the need for frequent retightening. Whether installed in a cleanroom, a factory floor, or an outdoor enclosure, the valve’s robust construction and reliable sealing protect against environmental contaminants and vibration.
