INSTALLATION!

 Do not attempt to install, operate or repair these 

devices without  proper training in the technique of working on pneu-
matic or hydraulic systems and devices, unless under trained supervi-
sion. 

Compressed air and hydraulic systems contain high levels of stored 
energy. Do not attempt to connect, disconnect or repair these products 
when a system is under pressure. Always exhaust or drain the       
pressure from a system before performing any service work. Failure to 
do so can result in serious personal injury. 

MOUNTING!

 Devices should be mounted and positioned in such a 

manner that they  cannot be accidentally operated.

DESCRIPTION OF MODELS 

The HE-2 type CONTROLAIR Valves are handle operated units    
consisting of one 3-way directional side valve, and a 3-way pressure 
graduating portion. The directional side valve is arranged to supply 
inlet pressure to a separate delivery line. The pressure graduating 
portion is arranged to increase, decrease, or maintain graduated air 
pressure to a second separate delivery line.  

In "off" position both delivery lines are exhausted. Handle movement 
from "off" position actuates the graduating pressure to a delivery line. 
The first 10 degrees of handle travel from "off" position to "clutch"  
position opens the side valve to direct inlet supply pressure to a     
second delivery line. Further movement of handle past 10 degrees to 
full travel position, or 92 degrees, continues to activate the pressure 
graduating valve to deliver graduated pressure which increases in 
proportion to the amount of handle movement from neutral. The    
maximum pressure obtained at full handle travel depends on the value 
of the control spring installed.  

MODELS 

There are three models identical in  function, but different in handle 
operating charactistics. 

HE-2-X CONTROLAIR 

Valve - Handle is spring returned to the 

“clutch” or off position from all other positions in the handle travel arc, 
EXCEPT Part No. R434002110 (P -062026-00001) which returns han-
dle to “off”    position from all other positions.  

WARNING:

  The possi-

bility of handle returning to “off” position does exist in all HE-2-X mod-
els in positions from clutch through full travel position when released.  

HE-2-LX CONTROLAIR 

Valve - Handle is spring returned to “clutch” 

or “off” position from all other positions in handle travel arc, EXCEPT 
there is mechanical detent to handle the handle at the maximum    
pressure position.

WARNING!  

Increased friction due to dirt and wear may 

caused handle not to return to clutch position from lower end 
of travel arc.   

HE-2-FX CONTROLAIR Valve 

- Handle is equipped with a 

friction brake that will hold the handle in any position selected 
in the handle travel arc.  The brake is internally adjustable.
