The Block Type “A” PILOTAIR Valve is a poppet
type, on-off, three-way directional valve. The body
design lends itself to individual or multiple
mounting operations. The basic valve 2-MA-1A,
with a choice of six operators, can be easily and
quickly assembled without special tools. The valve
is interchangeable with the former design. Refer to
“Identity Schedule,” page 3.
