Product Overview
The PARKER PVD-C3422 is a pneumatic directional control valve engineered for precise actuation and reliable switching of compressed air circuits in industrial automation and process systems. As part of Parker’s PVD series, this valve utilizes a spool-type directional control mechanism to manage airflow between supply, exhaust, and actuator ports, enabling controlled extension, retraction, and holding of pneumatic cylinders and rotary actuators. The PVD-C3422 is designed for panel or manifold mounting within centralized pneumatic control cabinets, offering fast response times, low leakage, and consistent shifting performance across demanding duty cycles. Its robust construction and standardized porting make it a direct-fit solution for OEM and MRO replacement in general process and pneumatic valve applications.
