M SWITCH VALVE There are several ways to position the 2-SWITCH™. The 2-SWITCH™ can be used in any spatial configuration. The M-SWITCH™ is an 11-port / 10-position valve. This means that eleven (11) ports can be connected with tubing, such that it is possible to choose between ten (10) individual positions linking one of the ten (10) external ports to the central port of the valve. - Page 9 M SWITCH M SWITCH M-SWITCH™ is a bidirectional valve. The fluid can flow inside the M-SWITCH™ in both directions. This feature plus the rotary Photo of the M-SWITCH™. capabilities allow different ways of use. Distributor mode: fluid flows from the central port to one external port (according to the selected position).
