CFM Electric Dual 2 Way Pilot Valve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cast Air BE2-M is a 2-way pilot valve built for electric dual-application compressors. If your electric-drive compressor system needs a reliable unloader or capacity control valve — something that holds up under daily cycling without leaking down or hunting — this is a straightforward, well-built component from a manufacturer that has been making compressor hardware for decades. The 1\/4\" NPT-F inlet keeps installation simple on standard compressor manifold ports, and the direct vent with felt filter handles the exhaust cleanly without a separate exhaust port plumbing run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the BE2-M Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electric dual-application air compressors — controls loading and unloading cycles to match air demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way pilot valve — two ports, one state change per signal, simple and reliable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" NPT-F — threads directly into standard compressor manifold or control line ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct vent with integral felt filter — exhausts signal air through a filter element to prevent contamination ingestion and keep the exhaust quiet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 max CFM — appropriate for 1\/4\" ported pilot circuits on single-stage and two-stage electric compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilot Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/8\" female NPT — standard signal line connection size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and Adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex brass — machines cleanly, threads without galling, resists corrosion in typical compressor room environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full external pressure adjustment — set your cut-in and cut-out pressures at the valve without disassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifferential Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full external differential adjustment — dial in the spread between cut-in and cut-out to prevent short-cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40–250 PSI available; most electric shop compressor applications order the 100–120 PSI or 140–170 PSI range versions — confirm your system's working pressure before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrosion-resistant construction throughout — holds up in humid compressor rooms and industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere This Valve Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement for OEM pilot valves on electric reciprocating compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew installations where a quality 1\/4\" pilot valve is needed for a dual-control circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eService situations where the original valve is hunting, leaking, or sticking — swap this in and re-adjust to spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot for gas engine applications — the BG2-M covers that version\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot for higher-flow 1\/2\" circuits — step up to the BLE (60 CFM) if your control circuit demands it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBE2-M vs. the Cast Air Pilot Valve Lineup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBE2-M (this valve) — $91.63:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" NPT-F, 20 CFM, electric dual, direct vent with felt filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBG2-M — $78.54:\u003c\/strong\u003e Same 1\/4\" NPT-F, 20 CFM, same direct vent — but for gas engine applications; lower price point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBLE — $123.20:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steps up to 1\/2\" NPT-F inlet and outlet, 60 CFM, electric dual — for larger compressor circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBLG — $147.84:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\" NPT-F, 60 CFM, gas engine version of the BLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing a failed pilot valve on an electric compressor and your control circuit is 1\/4\" ported at 20 CFM or less, the BE2-M is the correct part.
