Clippard TV2S 2 Way Toggle Valve – Enp Steel, 8 SCFM @100 PSIG

Description

Product Overview

The Clippard TV2S 2 Way Toggle Valve is engineered for high‑performance pneumatic control in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from enameled steel, the valve offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long‑term reliability. Its compact dimensions of 2 × 0.5 × 0.5 inches allow easy integration into tight spaces while delivering consistent flow regulation. Designed with a normally‑closed (N‑C) configuration, the valve provides secure shut‑off when the actuator is not engaged. The valve’s 10‑32 psi inlet rating and 8 SCFM flow capacity at 100 PSIG make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small‑scale automation to larger test rigs.

Core features include a robust enameled steel body, a precise toggle mechanism that delivers smooth operation, and a compact footprint that maximizes space efficiency. The valve’s internal sealing surfaces are machined to tight tolerances, reducing leakage and ensuring repeatable performance over thousands of cycles. Its N‑C (normally‑closed) design guarantees that the system remains closed when the valve is idle, enhancing safety in critical processes. Additionally, the valve is compatible with standard 1/8″ and 1/4″ pneumatic fittings, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Material construction utilizes high‑grade enameled steel, providing a balance of strength and corrosion resistance that extends service life even in harsh chemical environments. The toggle lever is ergonomically shaped for easy manual operation, allowing operators to quickly change flow states without excessive force. Technical specifications include a maximum operating pressure of 100 PSIG, a flow rating of 8 SCFM at that pressure, and a temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, covering most industrial temperature conditions.

Package dimensions are listed as 2 × 0.5 × 0.5 inches and a weight of 0.01 ounces, making the valve lightweight and easy to handle during assembly. The product ships with a protective sleeve to prevent damage to the toggle lever during transit. Item model number TV‑2S is clearly marked on the valve body for quick identification, and the product carries the Clippard brand reputation for quality and durability.

Usage

The TV2S toggle valve excels in environments where precise flow control and rapid response are essential, such as robotic assembly lines, laboratory test equipment, and packaging machinery. Its compact size enables installation in confined panels or control cabinets without sacrificing performance. Users benefit from the valve’s ability to quickly toggle between open and closed states, reducing cycle times and improving overall system efficiency.

Typical applications include controlling air supply to pneumatic cylinders, regulating airflow in venting systems, and managing gas distribution in analytical instruments. The valve’s 8 SCFM capacity at 100 PSIG ensures sufficient flow for medium‑size actuators while maintaining low pressure drop, which is critical for energy‑efficient operation. Engineers often select this valve for projects that require a reliable, manually operated solution without the need for additional solenoid components.

Installation is straightforward: connect the inlet and outlet ports using standard pneumatic tubing or fittings, secure the toggle lever in a convenient location, and verify operation by toggling the lever while monitoring system pressure. The valve’s N‑C configuration means the system remains closed by default, providing an added safety layer during maintenance or startup procedures. Regular inspection of the toggle mechanism and sealing surfaces will keep the valve performing at peak efficiency.

FAQ

What does N‑C mean and why is it important?

N‑C stands for normally‑closed, meaning the valve remains closed when the toggle lever is not actuated. This configuration provides a safety advantage by ensuring that the flow path is blocked unless deliberately opened, reducing the risk of accidental discharge or system pressure buildup.

Can this valve be used with fluids other than air?

While the TV2S is optimized for pneumatic (air) applications, its enameled steel construction can handle certain inert gases and non‑corrosive liquids. Always verify compatibility with the specific fluid and operating conditions before installation.

What size fittings are compatible with this valve?

The valve is designed to accept standard 1/8″ and 1/4″ pneumatic fittings, making it easy to integrate with common tubing and connector types used in industrial and laboratory settings.

How often should the valve be inspected or maintained?

Regular visual inspections are recommended at least once per year, focusing on the toggle lever movement and sealing surfaces. If the valve is used in a high‑cycle environment, more frequent checks may be warranted to ensure optimal performance.

Is there a recommended torque for tightening the valve connections?

Connections should be tightened to a snug fit without over‑torquing. Typically, a torque of 5–7 Nm for the fitting nuts is sufficient to prevent leaks while avoiding damage to the valve body.
