IMI Norgren 102GA3838 Pneufit 10 - Pilot operated valve
Part Number: 102GA3838
Quick Summary
102GA3838 is a pilot-operated check valve used to protect pneumatic circuits by preventing reverse flow in compact valve assemblies. Engineers often struggle with lengthy installation times and leaks in tight automation spaces. This family aligns with ISO 13849 functional safety guidelines and supports CE conformity where required, enabling safer, compliant installations. By combining push-in ease with a nickel-plated brass body, it reduces maintenance costs and improves line efficiency in compressed air systems. For scalable automation, its Pneufit 10 compatibility supports quick upgrades and modular plant layouts.
