• The spool valves 3/2 NC have threaded port connections

• All the exhaust ports of the spool valve are connectable, providing better
environmental protection. Particularly recommended for sensitive areas, such as
clean rooms, and applications in the pharmaceutical and food processing sectors
• The valve offers environmental protection against the ingress of liquids, dusts or
any other foreign matter (environmentally-protected construction)
• Epoxy moulded coil for general service applications
• The solenoid valves satisfy all relevant EU Directives

Explanation of temperature ranges of solenoid valves

Valve temperature range The valve temperature range (TS) is determined by the selected seal material, the
temperature range for proper operation of the valve and sometimes by the fluid (e.g.
steam)
Operator ambient temperature The operator ambient temperature range is determined by the selected power level
range and the safety code
Total temperature range The temperature range of the complete solenoid valve is determined by the limitations
of both temperature ranges above

8 mm
Type 02: Spade plug connector with cable gland EN175301-803A (ISO 4400) for cables with an outer diameter from 6 to 10 mm
PV Moulded-in cable, standard length 2 m
WBLP M20 cable gland for cables with an outer diameter from 7 to 8,5 mm
EF 1/2" NPT conduits
JBEF EF + Junction box

Additional options
• Other pipe threads are available on request
• Ex mb (prefix "PV") solenoid can be supplied with various cable lengths

Installation
• Multi language installation/maintenance instructions are included with each valve
• The valves can be mounted in any position without affecting operation
• Do not connect the pressure supply to the exhaust port 3. The “environmentally-protected” construction is not
adapted for a “distributing” function or use in NO function. Contact us for functions available in specific versions
• IEC 61508 Functional Safety (suffix SL). Check temperature range of valve body and solenoid for suitability. For prob-
ability of failure, contact us
• It is necessary to connect pipes or fittings to the exhaust ports to protect the internal parts of the spool valve and
its pneumatic operator if used outside or in harsh environments (dusts, liquids etc.)
• Threaded pipe connection identifier is 8 = NPT (ANSI 1.20.3); G = G (ISO 228/1)
