FV-02, 3F210 and 3FM210 foot valves provide direct mechanical control of a normally closed 3/2-way pneumatic circuit. FV and 3F versions use aluminum alloy bodies, while the compact 3FM version uses a plastic body. A locking option is available on 3F210 models for applications requiring a maintained valve position.
| Model | Port size | Body material | Locking option |
|---|---|---|---|
| FV-02 | 1/4″ | Aluminum alloy | — |
| 3F210-06 | 1/8″ | Aluminum alloy | Add L for locking version |
| 3F210-08 | 1/4″ | ||
| 3FM210-06 | 1/8″ | Plastic | No L option |
| 3FM210-08 | 1/4″ |
For FV-02, code 02 identifies the 1/4″ connection. For 3F210 and 3FM210, code 06 identifies 1/8″ and code 08 identifies 1/4″. A blank 3F210 suffix specifies the version without a lock; 3F210-06L and 3F210-08L specify locking versions.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Working fluid | Air filtered through a 40μm element |
| Operation | Direct acting, foot operated, normally closed |
| Ports and positions | 3 ports, 2 positions |
| Working pressure | 0-0.8MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5MPa |
| Ambient temperature | 0-70°C |
The lock allows a valve position to be held for a longer interval and released without sustained pedal pressure. Avoid repeated heavy impacts on the pedal or locking mechanism.
The FV-02 outline is 91mm long with a 114mm base width. The compact 3FM210 outline is 95mm long with a 104mm base width. Standard and locking 3F210 versions have a 129mm pedal assembly length.
The drawings show G connections for FV-02 and 3FM210, and PT connections for 3F210. NPT and G thread options are available; specify the required thread when ordering. The attached Pneumatic Components Catalogue includes the family specifications and pneumatic symbol.
