Product Overview
The AIRTAC HSV15SS is a manually actuated pneumatic hand slide valve engineered for precise directional control of compressed air within industrial automation and fluid power circuits. Featuring a stainless steel 316 (SS) body construction, this valve operates on a direct-acting slide spool principle, allowing an operator to manually shift the internal spool to redirect airflow between ports. The HSV15SS is a 5/2-way function valve (5 ports, 2 positions), designed to control double-acting pneumatic cylinders and other bidirectional actuators. Its robust stainless steel housing provides superior corrosion resistance, making it suitable for washdown environments, food processing, chemical plants, and outdoor installations. The valve is typically panel-mounted or inline-mounted and offers reliable, detent-free manual operation with a positive tactile response. As part of AIRTAC’s HSV series, it is a direct-fit replacement for OEM pneumatic control panels and is compatible with standard air preparation units and fittings.
