Best Answer

A valve which requires pressurised air to operate (open or close) is known as pneumatic valve. A valve has a valve base through which the media (could be be air, liquid, steam, gas...) flows and a actuator mounted on the base which helps operate the valve. This actuator could be of pneumatic type. (or elctrically operated motorised type)

A valve is a mechanism to either control the flow of a gas or a mechanism operated by a gas to control the flow of some other fluid.

The gas is usually, but not always, air.
