A pneumatic valve includes a housing with a first port, a second port, and a third port, and a first valve element including a first magnet. The first valve element is movable between an open position and a closed position, and the first valve element is configured to seal the first port in the closed position. The pneumatic valve further includes a second valve element including a second magnet. The second valve element is movable between an open position and a closed position, and the second valve element is configured to seal the third port in the closed position. The pneumatic valve also includes a magnetic actuating element rotatable between a first position and a second position. The first valve element and the second valve element are movable between the open position and the closed position in response to rotation of the magnetic actuating element between the first position and the second position.
