SOLENOID / PILOT VALVE SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Operating Pressure (std.): 20 - 175 psig Flow Characteristics
• Operating Pressure (with optional external pilot supply: Vacuum - 250 psig) Airline Preparation: The Series A valve may be used with dry or
• Maximum allowable cycle rate: 300 CPM (to 600 CPM under specified conditions) lubricated filtered air.
• Maximum heat rise: 85° C
Installation: Valve body to sub-base screws should be torqued no more
than 24 in./lb.
RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Flow curves shown are for the 1/4” sub-base mounted valves. For 3/8” sub-base,
TIME TO TIME TO FILL DE-ENERGIZATION 1/4” or 3/8” manifold valves use the noted correction factors, (CF).
