Details
Operating pressure
0–1.0 MPa
Negative pressure
−750 mmHg (10 Torr), as printed
Proof pressure
1.5 MPa
Ambient and fluid temperature
−20 to 70 °C
Applicable tubing
Soft nylon or polyurethane; use the exact tube outside diameter specified for this model.
Tube connections
Two tube connections, each for 10 mm outside diameter
Valve type
Three-way with exhaust function
Application
Matching pneumatic tubing; the source specifies tubing sizes rather than a named valve family.
Features and Operation
The PHV catalog states that this series contains no brass. It describes good flow characteristics and sensitive directional operation.
The knob and body arrows aligned in the same direction indicate the open state. A 90-degree angle between the knob arrow and body arrow indicates the closed state.
When this three-way version closes, the downstream outlet pressure is released through the exhaust path, helping commissioning and maintenance.
External and Mounting Dimensions
Dimensions retain the letter labels and separate views in the source drawing. Linear dimensions are in millimeters; pipe threads retain their stated standard and nominal size. Do not combine unrelated callouts into an overall size.

Series Ordering Options
Tube OD 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm; A three-way or B two-way; gray or black. A and B share the catalogued dimensions.
Optional Matching PU Tubing
T = the two push-in sockets for 10 mm OD tube, one at the inlet and one at the outlet. T groups equal tube sizes; it does not make the inlet and outlet interchangeable. Follow the actual valve-body direction marking (inlet left and outlet right in the catalogue view). The listed tube codes are alternative complete coils, not a quantity requirement. Model code A identifies the three-way exhaust function; its internal exhaust is not a third tubing connection. Tube dimensions below are OD × ID in mm. These tubing options are optional and ordered separately.
Code-prefix uses (match the longest listed family prefix): UE polyurethane tube; US polyurethane tube.

The listed PU tubes are optional, separately ordered choices for the two same-size receiving sockets. Match the exact metric outside diameter at each socket; inch sizes are not substitutes. Keep the inlet and outlet functions separate and follow the actual valve-body arrow. T groups tube sizes only; it neither permits reversing the valve nor specifies how many coils are required. These tube choices do not add a threaded connection, mounting accessory or external exhaust connection.
For the three-way A version, the built-in exhaust releases downstream outlet pressure when the valve closes. Keep that exhaust path unobstructed. The catalogue does not give an external connection size for it, so the listed tubes are assigned only to the inlet and outlet sockets; do not attach a third tube, silencer or plug to the exhaust on this basis. Isolate the supply and verify that all affected sections are depressurized before tube removal; the selected valve function is not a substitute for checking the actual circuit.
These selections cover positive-pressure compressed-air service only. PHV has a 0–1.0 MPa working-pressure range; its 1.5 MPa proof pressure is not a working rating. The separately printed −750 mmHg (10 Torr) valve value does not establish vacuum or collapse resistance for these exact PU tubes or the complete assembled path. Dimensional fit alone does not establish liquid service, system flow capacity or leak performance.
US98A and UE95A tubing are rated 1.0 MPa at 23°C. Apply the tubing catalogue temperature-derating curve and every stricter valve, tube and system limit; do not assume 1.0 MPa is available throughout the temperature range. US98A has a −20–70°C component range and UE95A −40–70°C. With PHV’s −20–70°C range, the assembled path must stay within −20–70°C or a narrower applicable range. UE95A’s lower component limit does not extend the valve below −20°C. Tube burst pressure and valve proof pressure are not allowable continuous working pressures.
US98A is polyester-based PU, Shore A98±2; UE95A is ether-based PU, Shore A95±2. Each listed complete code specifies its own OD and ID, a 100 m coil (100M) and blue colour (BU). Tube ID affects flow but does not replace OD as the push-in socket selection criterion. These verified standard-pressure examples do not represent every available length, colour or tube construction. The valve’s grey/black body and release-button colour is separate from tube colour.
For T, 10 mm OD × 6.5 mm ID, the minimum bend radii are US98A 25 mm and UE95A 20 mm. Keep bends clear of both sockets and support the tube so that it is not kinked, flattened or pulled against the valve. Confirm insertion depth, retention and sealing on the actual socket. Keep the knob and release buttons accessible. Preserve clearance for the built-in exhaust.
Confirm compatibility of the actual air contaminants, lubricant or additives with the valve seals, tube and connected equipment. Follow the PU tubing restrictions on acids, alkalis, organic solvents, seawater, corrosive gases, prolonged sunlight and excessive heat. PHV’s catalogue statement that the valve contains no brass does not certify all other components of an assembled installation or establish unrestricted chemical compatibility.
Confirm the exact complete tube code and current availability before ordering; catalogue inclusion is not a current-production, stock or delivery promise. No additional component or coil quantity is included merely because two sockets or internal components appear in the valve drawing.
