Vacuum to 250 PSI
(Subject to Pressure Limitations on Certain Models)

Threaded Body or Subplate Mounted Models

All valves shown on these two pages are assembled from the same basic body size, although the 3/8˝ models have larger internal passages for greater air flow. Subplate mounted valves are listed in the model selection chart but are not illustrated.

For compressed air or inert gases at pressures from vacuum to 250 PSI, subject to limitations described on the next page for certain models. Spool-type 4-way valves for operation of double-acting cylinders or reversible air motors. The valve will stand full pressure on any port, so it may be used as a 5-way valve or it may be used for 2-way or 3-way service by plugging unused ports.

Valve bodies are pressure-cast aluminum alloy; end caps are steel, aluminum, or zinc; spools are machined from aluminum bar stock and processed to a glass-hard surface finish; springs are plated steel or stainless steel; O-rings are Viton® rubber.

Three options are offered in the model chart, each using the same basic body size: second column = 1/4˝ flow capacity with 1/4˝ NPTF body threads; third column = 3/8˝ flow capacity with 3/8˝ NPTF body threads; fourth column = 3/8˝ flow capacity with unthreaded port holes through base of valve; these models must be mounted on a subplate to which plumbing connections are made. Subplate must be ordered separately.

SOLENOID VALVES. Pilot-operated solenoid type. For pressure from 160 PSI to 50 PSI on spring models and down to 25 PSI on no spring models. If operated on pressure above or below this range, or on vacuum, valve must be converted to external pilot operation.

All standard voltages, both AC and DC can be furnished. All coils may be used for continuous duty. They have a power requirement of 11 watts. Inrush current is 0.36 amps, holding current is 0.23 amps at 120 volts, 60 Hz. Current at other voltages is in proportion. DC coils draw 9 watts at all voltages. Pigtail leads on solenoids are standard; DIN connectors are also available.

Converting to external pilot operation: Remove the pilot operator from the main valve body. Leave gasket as is and rotate the solenoid operator 180° and remount. This will put the valve nameplate on the opposite side from that shown in photos. Connect a steady source of 50 to 160 PSI air to pilot port on top of valve.

Size of double solenoid model: 5-3/4˝ ˣ 2-1/2˝ ˣ 3-3/4˝ high. Weight 2-1/2 lbs.
