PILOTAIR
The Block Type "A" PILOTAIR Valve is a poppet
type, on-off, three-way directional valve. The body
design lends itself to individual or multiple
mounting operations. The basic valve 2-MA-1A,
with a choice of six operators, can be easily and
quickly assembled without special tools. The valve
is interchangeable with the former design. Refer to
"Identity Schedule," page 3.

Installation (BLOCK TYPE)
The Block Type "A" PILOTAIR Valve can be installed in
any convenient position without interfering with the valve
operation. The straight, flat sides are identical to provide
either right or left hand horizontal mounting. Mounting
holes are also provided for mounting the valve vertically
from the top or bottom.
Dual IN and OUT ports are provided on all valves
except the 2-CA-1B for ease of piping. Pipe plugs
are supplied for plugging the unused ports
Note: Install the valve to ensure operation within the
travel limits shown on the outline drawings (refer to
sales catalog SC-700-800). Travel beyond these
limits can cause damage to the valve plunger O-ring
and subsequent valve leakage.

to operate at pressures up to 250 psi within a
temperature range of -40º F to 200º F (-40° C
