ARO K313TS Foot Valve

The ARO K313TS Foot Valve is a four‑way, three‑position manual pneumatic directional control valve from ARO’s K Series, designed for foot‑activated control of a double‑acting cylinder, and it uses 3/8" NPT port connections to accommodate standard pneumatic fittings and lines. Operated by a treadle with spring‑centered return, the K313TS provides hands‑free actuation and automatically returns to a neutral position when the pedal is released, supporting simple sequencing in compact layouts. In forward and reverse positions, the valve directs air to the appropriate actuator ports to extend or retract a connected cylinder, while the neutral position centers the valve for safe rest in the absence of pedal actuation. As part of the K Series, the K313TS is documented as a foot valve option and is suitable for packaging equipment, material handling, and other automated pneumatic systems that benefit from pedal control.
