Parker’s 2-position, 4-way manual spool valves provide precise operator control for reversing type applications with a simple push style knob actuator. These valves are capable of flows up to 15 lpm (4 gpm) and pressures as high as 350 bar (5000 psi). Parker’s 2-position, 4-way manual spool valves return to their normal or original position when the push knob is released and allows flow to switch in dual direction applications. These valves are ideal for bi-directional applications such as motors, double acting circuits, and pilot circuits on a variety of machinery within the construction, material handling, or industrial markets.

• Miscellaneous Mobile

Features/Benefits:
• High flow capacity
• Low mechanical operating force
• Detent optional
• External parts zinc plated

Applications:
• Double acting circuits
• Pilot circuits
• Bi-directional motors

Additional Technical Insight:
GM0240XS is a 4-way 2-position manual spool valve which can be used to reverse the direction of double acting cylinders, bi-directional motors, or rotary actuators. When the valve is in the neutral position and is not manually shifted, 4-way flow causes the actuator to operate in a single default direction. When an operator pushes the external knob, the spool shifts and changes the direction of the actuator. Once the operator releases the knob, the actuator will return to its original direction.

GM0240CS is a 4-way 2-position manual spool valve which can be used to manually start and stop cylinders, motors, and rotary actuators. When the valve is in the neutral position and is not manually shifted, all flow is prevented from going to downstream components. When an operator pushes the external knob, the spool shifts and 4-way flow is allowed downstream. Once the operator releases the knob, the actuator will return to its original position and all flow will be blocked.

Parker’s GM0240 manual valves provide design flexibility for applications that require operator actuation for 4-way functions. They can also be used to isolate or enable pilot and troubleshooting circuits.
