Product Description
1/2" Locking air control valve for in-ground automotive lift hoist. This control valve has 3 1/2" NPT ports, including an inlet (marked "IN" on the valve body) that receives air from the compressor, bottom outlet (marked "HOIST") that sends air to the cylinder, and a side port (marked "OUT") for the exhaust muffler (part # BH-9642).
This valve is used on full hydraulics lifts that have both an air control valve and an oil control valve.

Hoist control valves are designed to operate various lifting devices utilizing compressed air (or oil) as a power source. The valve body is of heavy cast brass construction with internal components of precision machined brass bar stock, stainless steel springs & inlet screen, and Buna-N-Seals to provide long life with minimum maintenance. These valves are widely used on automobile, truck hoists and spring loaded single acting cylinders. Each valve is individually tested after assembly. Maximum operating pressure, 200 PSIG.
If the application calls for the pressure source (air or oil) to be disconnected while the lifting device is in use, a check valve must be installed on the valve inlet to prevent reverse flow. Should reverse flow occur, serious injury may result when support for the load is reduced.
NOTE: Caution should be exercised regarding application of the FK-302 valve. The State of California, and some other state and local governments, prohibit the use of the locking type lever on automotive and man lift control valves. The FK-303 non-locking valve should be used on this type equipment.
