Questions & Answers
When you press this pedal, it only exerts pressure. The pressure goes away when you release it, but this didn't work for my application. A jack wouldn't be able to use it.
At each pressure, there is full flow. You must be more specific in your description. br>Purchase it, connect it, and test it out. Most compressors operate at less than 125 PSI, and there is no discernible difference in pressure between the inlet and outlet of the valve compared to any other triggered gun in a sand blast cabinet. You will not be let down.br> Unless you're using this valve on some exotic esoteric piece of machinery that requires a specific pressure and flow (that's what a pressure regulator is for), there's no further restriction than the outlet nipple from your compressor slave tank, unless you're using 1 inch ID iron pipe as part of a hard assembly infrastructure, in which case you'll get full tank pressure and as much flow rate as you like right up to the 3/8ths inlet of the valve. Internal plumbing could contribute resistance to about 10 feet of air line, resulting in a minor reduction in pressure. It's a well-made piece of equipment. BUY IT.

I bought two of these to use on an air over hydraulic press I built, and while I've read some negative reviews, it appears that the pedals were hooked up incorrectly by people who had no experience (not meant to be offensive). This is a double-acting valve (used to back and forth operate a cylinder). Simply plug the second port to use it as a single acting valve, as I do (press on/release off). If the second port is not plugged, air will "leak" out when the pedal is depressed. I could have bought a single-acting valve instead, but I liked the look of these better. I'd buy it again without question.
I had high hopes for this pneumatic foot pedal, but it leaked so badly that I had to return it. This unit does not come with any documentation. This makes it even more difficult to connect properly. Are you having trouble figuring out the three inputs? A, B, or C connections are the options for /outputs. I continued to look for a replacement pedal for this one. If I still had it, I'd give it to you. I'd try connecting it again, this time with connection C as an input and A or B as outputs, to see if it still leaked like a sieve. So, with that said, maybe, just maybe, this unit would have worked and I would have given it a better rating. So, here's what I've come up with. If you're willing to take a risk with this unit. If you are a seller of this unit, then try using the C connection (the bottom one) as an input and the other two as outputs. Please include some information so that it is not a guessing game as to how to connect it. br>Best of luck, Rachel's fatherbr>.
I got this gem after replacing the gun in my HF blast cab with one that didn't have a trigger. There isn't enough air coming out of this thing to do anything with it. It's back to square one.
Be aware that there are two outlets, one of which must be plugged if only one stage is being used. When your foot isn't on the pedal, air flows continuously out one port; when you apply pressure to the pedal, that port closes and air exits through the second port; for most applications, you'd plug the port that flows when your foot isn't on the pedal. Any local hardware store should have this plug. I hope this clarifies how it works and assures others that it does not have a serious flaw.
I was about to return it because it had leaked. br>After taking a step back, I hooked it up with "P" for pressure in and "A" for pressure out while the pedal was depressed. When the pedal is released, "B" must be plugged into or connected to a device that requires air pressure.
My Skat blast gun's trigger is a lot better than this. I'm hoping for the best. On an HF blast cabinet, it was used. You must block the B port, as previously stated. Pressure to the P port, cabinet to the A port. I made a couple of hoses and saved $250.
This was bought to go with a planishing hammer. The B outlet is plugged in, and the A outlet is connected to the hammers as usual, and everything works fine. We can only hope that the longevity continues. It appears to be of high quality.
Because I didn't realize the ports were in the back and not on each side, it didn't work out for me, so I ordered another one from a different company with cheaper side ports.
