5/2-way valve, with selection switch
Turning the selection switch operates the valve. The flow passes freely from 1 to 4. Releasing the switch has no effect; the valve remains in its operating position. Turning the switch back to its original position allows the flow to pass freely from 1 to 2.
This valve is derived from a configurable 5/n way valve. You find this valve in the component library Frequently used Way Valves
, under the menu.
