ARO 216-C Pneumatic Pilot Valve NSMP Series Valve

The ARO 216-C is a compact two-port, two-position valve in the ARO 200 Series NSMP line, offering manual control of compressed air in small pneumatic circuits. It uses a cross-roller plunger actuator and accepts 1/8" NPT ports, with a die-cast zinc body sized for panel or manifold mounting. Internals include a stainless steel spool with a PTFE coating and Buna-N O-rings plus Buna-N static seals, delivering reliable sealing and wear resistance in typical shop-air conditions. This device provides straightforward on/off control of a supply line to a small actuator or pilot line, with exhaust managed through the opposite port in the two-port arrangement. Its compact footprint—the approximate overall length is 2 3/16 inches—facilitates installation in tight spaces and on compact manifolds, using standard 1/8" NPT fittings. The 216-C is suited to light-duty applications such as manual actuation of small cylinders in packaging lines, machine-tool fixtures, or test benches, and can be integrated with other NSMP-series components for compact pneumatic control solutions.
