Abstract: A fluid valve especially adapted for manually controlling pilot valves and other fluid valves. The manual override valve includes an axially slideably movable plunger which is contained and recessed within a fluid passageway in the valve. Slide bar positioning means are included for holding the plunger in a predetermined axial position to control fluid flow through the fluid passageway. The slide bar and plunger are color coded for visual determination of the plunger position. For safety considerations, the override valve requires two-hand operation using a probe smaller than the override valve passageway in which the plunger is mounted.
