Air feeds with end of stroke sensor come with control valve plug and silent modification. Electric valve extra. 5. At 100 psi. (Includes allowance for normal friction of moving parts).
Air Supply: A clean, lightly oiled 75-120 psi air supply, water free, is recommended to maintain feed in proper operating condition.
