Hand Slide Valves

Universal Power Conversion provides a range of hand slide valves, a type of specialty valve that is used as a shutoff for pneumatic air systems. Our selection features configurations with several male and female thread connections to meet your application needs, which are made from aluminum alloy and won't require lubrication. To determine the right hand slide valve for your system, it is essential to assess port size, valve type, pressure range, and temperature range.

What are Specialty Valves?

Specialty valves are non-standard, custom valve solutions used in demanding applications that feature high-abrasion media, high pressures, high temperatures, or corrosive materials. Compared to standard valve types, they offer enhanced performance, durability, and cleanliness, utilizing custom or complex designs for unique applications to handle specific tasks in various systems. Their designs, functions, and materials differ from standard ball, gate, and globe valves to provide advanced solutions and withstand their operating environments.
