Hi Al
have you talked to one of the pneumatics suppliers such as Martonair, Festo, SMC etc? Pilot operated 3 way valves are fairly common. Depending on the gas you are handling, you will need to watch out for corrosion, lubrication and gas stream isolation. However you shouldn't have too many problems. There are also suppliers of valving for medical gases; names escape me but they should be easy to find with a web search. Watch out for plastic components in the valves which can sometimes be troublesome.

Cheers

Steve

12/10/04

We are looking for a small three way pneumatic valve that can be remotely activated by air pressure. The in and out gas flow is at 5 psi, about 300 cc/min. There are two gas sources A and B, each at about

5 psi, that must be switched. We need a through flow from source A when

the control pressure is low and from source B when 5 psi air is applied to the control port. Tubing size is 1/8-1/4" ID, flexible plastic. Quantity is 10-1000 units.

Can you help?

Regards,

Al Ketler
