The Aqua Environment 816-V toggle valve is used on all paintball panels manufactured by Nuvair. The 816 Series valve is an open or shut valve for air, gas, or liquid lines up to 6000 psi. In the normal or relaxed position the valve is shut and the lever extends straight out. When the lever is tipped in any direction the valve opens. A variety of levers can be connected to the 1/4-20 thread. For example, using an eye bolt as shown, the valve could be operated by a lanyard. In many cases the valve eliminates the need for snap action switches, solenoids, and other complicated devices to open or shut a line based on mechanical action. The 816-V is a 3-way valve that vents downstream pressure when the toggle is released.
