Description
Clippard MFC-2 Minimatic Miniature Adjustable Needle Valve Brass Flow Control
The Clippard MFC-2 is a miniature manually adjustable needle valve from Clippard Instrument Laboratory's Minimatic line. It uses a knurled thumb-screw adjuster to set the needle position and meter air or gas flow, with a slotted lock screw on the body to hold the setting in place. The brass body is compact — designed for applications where space is tight and precise flow restriction is needed.

Applications
Clippard Minimatic needle valves are used to control and restrict air or gas flow in pneumatic circuits, automation equipment, and instrumentation. The MFC-2 is well suited for low-flow metering applications where a compact, inline flow-control component is needed — such as cylinder speed control, bleed-off circuits, or actuator cushioning in pneumatic automation systems. The Minimatic line has been a standard in light-duty pneumatic control and laboratory instrumentation for decades, valued for its small footprint and straightforward manual adjustment. These valves are still actively used in pneumatic control panels, small automation cells, and lab-scale gas-handling setups.
This Clippard MFC-2 Minimatic Miniature Adjustable Needle Valve is new and unused. It comes in the original Clippard Minimates clear plastic clamshell case with foam insert, though it may have been in storage for some time or the packaging may have been previously opened.
