5-Way 3-Position Double Air Piloted Valve 1/4 PT – Pressure Centre
5-Way 3-Position Double Air Piloted Valve 1/4 PT – Pressure Centre
$165.00
Five-port, three-position double air piloted valve with a pressure-centre function, 1/4 inch PT supply and outlet ports, and 1/8 inch PT pilot and exhaust ports.
Part number 4A230P-08.
Description
Overview
The 5/3 air pilot valve uses double external pneumatic control to direct compressed air through five ports and three spool positions. Its pressure-centre neutral function suits circuits that must retain a defined pneumatic state when neither pilot signal is active, while the spool construction provides repeatable directional switching.
Features
- Five-port, three-position directional control
- Double air pilot actuation with pressure-centre function
- 1/4 inch PT supply and outlet ports with 1/8 inch PT exhaust and pilot ports
- 12 mm² effective flow area with Cv 0.67
Specifications and Materials
The valve operates with compressed air filtered to 40 microns and uses external pneumatic control. The aluminium-alloy body carries NBR sealing elements and does not require added lubrication. Operating pressure is 0.15 to 0.8 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.2 MPa.
Part number: 4A230P-08.
See the AirTAC 4A200 Series technical guide
Compatibility and Fitment
Confirm the circuit requires a five-port, three-position, double-pilot valve with a pressure-centre neutral function. Also check the PT thread form, 1/4 inch main ports, 1/8 inch pilot and exhaust ports, mounting-hole layout and available body clearance. The main ordering risk is substituting the closed-centre or exhaust-centre version, which changes how the circuit behaves in the neutral position.

Compliance and Safety
Isolate and exhaust the air supply before installation. Keep thread sealant clear of the ports, use clean filtered air, confirm adequate pilot pressure and leak-test every connection after pressurising the circuit. Do not substitute this general pneumatic valve for a purpose-designed braking valve unless the system specification identifies the exact function and pressure requirements.
Trailer Applications
The 5/3 air pilot valve suits pneumatic sequencing and actuator-control circuits that specify pressure-centre logic. Applications may include compatible workshop machinery and truck or trailer auxiliary systems such as body equipment, doors, suspension controls or other air-operated functions.
