Brand: Air tangent
An air tangent 1B is a type of valve used in air compressor systems. It is a pneumatic valve designed to direct air flow between two or more air lines based on the application's specific requirements. The "1B" designation indicates that this valve conforms to industry-standard specifications for valves in air compressor systems, as defined by the Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI). The "B" in the part number signifies that this valve is a non-draining 2-way valve with a ball internal component. The "1" indicates that it is a single-port model, meaning it has a single inlet port and a single outlet port, with the option to connect additional branches or lines. The main function of an air tangent 1B is to regulate air flow to the required application, providing consistent and efficient performance. It does this by allowing or restricting the flow of compressed air through the valve based on the operator's input. Some of its characteristics include:- ball valve internal components for efficient air flow- non-draining design helps prevent contamination in system lines- BSP or NPT threaded connections for easy installation and compatibility with other components- multiple positions for SMC valves with snap-acting action, quick opening, and full port flowOverall, an air tangent 1B is a flexible and adaptable valve that plays a critical role in controlling the direction and flow rate of compressed air to meet different application requirements.
