The Scheppach Pneumatic Air Distributor 2-way is a compact inline valve designed to split and route compressed air between two lines. Made for standard workshop and light industrial compressed air systems, this two-outlet distributor lets you run or isolate two pneumatic circuits from a single supply. Its simple construction and compatibility with common fittings make it suitable for organizing air supply to tools and machines while keeping installation space minimal.
Advantages
This 2-way pneumatic distributor offers straightforward functionality in a small footprint, enabling easy splitting of one air supply into two outlets. It is designed for compatibility with common compressed air systems, allowing quick integration without complex adapters. The inline form factor reduces the need for additional piping and helps keep work areas tidy by centralizing connections.
Suitable for
- Powering two pneumatic tools from a single compressor
- Routing air to two separate workstations or machine circuits
- Temporarily isolating one branch for maintenance while keeping the other active
- Compact workshop setups where space for fittings is limited
When it may not be suitable
This distributor is intended for basic air splitting and is not a substitute for pressure regulation, flow control, or complex manifold systems. It is not designed for applications requiring precise flow balancing, high flow rates beyond its intended capacity, or integrated shut-off valves unless external controls are added. For critical industrial processes that require monitored flow or pressure compensation, a more advanced manifold or regulator system should be considered.
Key specifications
- Function: 2-way air distribution (one inlet, two outlets)
- Mounting style: Inline valve body suitable for direct insertion in air lines
- Intended use: Standard compressed air systems in workshops and light industry
- Compatibility: Works with common pneumatic fittings and hoses
- Primary benefit: Space-saving connection point for two circuits
How to use
Install the distributor inline with your compressed air hose or piping, ensuring connections are secure and matched to the distributor's thread or push-fit size. After installation, gradually pressurize the system and check all joints for leaks using an appropriate leak-detection method. Use external shut-off valves, regulators, or filters where required to control pressure, protect tools, and maintain air quality. When servicing either branch, depressurize the system or isolate the branch using upstream valves before disconnecting fittings.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the thread or connector type and size to ensure compatibility with your hoses or fittings
- Confirm the distributor's maximum flow capacity versus the combined demand of connected tools
- Decide whether additional valves, regulators, or filters are needed for your application
- Check available installation space to ensure the inline body fits the intended routing
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, mount the distributor in an accessible location, use quality fittings and thread sealant rated for compressed air, and include a pressure regulator and filtration on the main supply if your tools require controlled pressure or clean air. Periodically inspect connections and replace worn hoses to prevent leaks and ensure consistent tool performance.
