Slide Valve
Slide valves control the admission or exhaust of air and gases by moving a sliding gate across a port. Compact and straightforward to install, they suit pneumatic systems where simple on/off flow control is required without the bulk of a larger valve body. The range at The Hosemaster includes hand-operated slide valves with an operating pressure range of 0–9.9 kgf/cm² and a temperature range of -5°C to +60°C, as well as on/off type slide valves with aluminium sleeve and chrome nickel-plated stem. Suitable for air and gas applications across light industrial and pneumatic systems.-

Slide valves for pneumatic flow control
Slide valves are a practical choice where you need simple, compact on/off control of air or gas flow in a pneumatic circuit. The sliding gate mechanism is more straightforward than a rotary ball valve in certain installation configurations — particularly where linear actuation suits the layout of the equipment.
The range here covers hand-operated variants for manual control and on/off type valves with aluminium and chrome nickel-plated construction. Pressure and temperature ratings are stated in each product listing, so match those to your system specification before ordering. These valves are suitable for air and inert gas duties in light industrial and workshop environments. If your application involves anything other than air or inert gas, check the media compatibility before fitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slide valve used for?
Slide valves are used to control the flow of air, exhaust gases or other gases in pneumatic systems. They use a sliding gate mechanism to open or close the flow path and are commonly used in light industrial machinery and air systems where simple on/off control is needed.
What pressure range do your slide valves operate at?
The hand slide valves in our range operate at 0–9.9 kgf/cm² across a temperature range of -5°C to +60°C. Check the individual product specification for the specific valve you're ordering.
What materials are your slide valves made from?
Our range includes slide valves with aluminium sleeves and chrome nickel-plated stems, designed for durability in pneumatic applications.
