Our Products
Solenoid and Directional Control Valves
High Quality and Varied Designs
Fabco-Air covers all of your directional, solenoid, air pilot, needle and flow valve needs. Our valve lineup features a wide range of sizes and high-performance materials, including FDA-approved options for your flow and process valves. If installation space is an issue, you can mix and match our valves in a single compact manifold. Additionally, we carry several lines of special purpose valves—including shuttle, check, micro limit and pressure sensing valves.
Pneumatic Directional Control Valves

- Constructed from lightweight aluminum with hard anodized aluminum spools
- Spool cushioned with Delrin®-urethane bumper combination that absorbs shock but does not bounce the spool
- Static seals
- Available in six different actuator types
Flow Optimized Pneumatic Solenoid Valves
- Flow rate: Cv = 0.7 to Cv = 2.8
- Port sizes: ⅛, ¼, ⅜ and ½ NPT
- Individual or manifold mount
- Fast-acting valves designed for high flow
- Multiple options include 2- and 3-position spools
- Individual or manifold mount
- Manifolds range from two to ten stacks
- Fifteen million cycle life in normal usage
- Special machining and hard anodized body
Namur Valves
- Flow rate: Cv = 1.7
- Port size: G1/4 ports
- NAMUR mounting attaches directly to the actuator without additional manifolding
- Designed for high flow with single or double solenoid model options
- Features 100% continuous duty cycle
Process and Media Valves
Composite Body Poppet Valves
- Flow rates: Cv = 0.025 to Cv = 0.31
- Port size: ⅛ NPT
- Constructed from media-compatible DuPont™ Zytel® FE 5105
- FDA-approved options available
- “Basket” orifice design feature allows the possibility of changing the orifice diameter in the field to meet flow requirements
- Created from predominantly lightweight and corrosion-resistant composite materials
- Choose between a brass/stainless steel or all stainless steel solenoid operator
Brass Body Diaphragm Process Valve
- Flow rates: Cv = 1.5 to Cv = 2.4
- Port sizes: ¼, ⅜ and ½ NPT
- Robust, compact valves that combine the latest injection molding and forging technologies
- Molded pilot section features a quick connect DIN 43650 “A” electrical connection, high-cycle solenoid parts and a push non-locking manual override
- Use as a directing acting/pilot operated valve gives full flow throughout the pressure range starting with an MOPD of zero psi
Composite Body Diaphragm Process Valve
- Flow rates: Cv = 1.5 to Cv = 2.4
- Port sizes: ¼, ⅜, ½ NPT
- Designed with a media compatible polymer body
- Features a stainless steel anti-flex ring for port strength
- Use as a directing acting/pilot operated valve gives full flow throughout the pressure range starting with an MOPD of zero psi
Special Purpose and Accessory
Special Purpose Valves
- OS-1 Series: provides a momentary output at its cylinder port when pressure is applied at its inlet
- RV-1 Series valve: designed to open when a pre-set amount of pressure is applied to provide a pilot signal for circuit control
- MSV Series: tiny, poppet-style valves designed for very light actuating forces
- Miniature Series allows you to choose between 1-way or 2-way flow, panel mounting and flow control models, all constructed from durable brass
- Micro-Fine™ Series designed to provide high control of gasses and liquids, available in both needle or flow valve models
- Swivel, Port-Mounted line provides a 360° swivel on all models, multiple size options and the choice between molded or brass body design
- SuperVee™ Series can be adjusted from full flow to bubble-tight shutoff with an orifice that provides precise repetition of your selected flow rate
- Check and shuttle valves available
Custom Solutions
