Norgren 102GB1818 Pressure Reducing Valve - BSP Parallel
Part Number: 102GB1818
Quick Summary
Pressure Reducing Valve 102GB1818 from Norgren provides precise air pressure control for compact pneumatic circuits. Engineers often struggle with bulky assemblies, slow tube connections, and pressure spikes that disrupt line uptime. While the Pneufit series and nickel-plated brass body highlight robustness, confirm CE compliance and any IP considerations with the supplier for your region. This solution aligns with efficiency-focused maintenance strategies and offers easy installation, reduced component counts, and long-term reliability in automation environments. For proactive procurement, this valve supports scalable, cost-conscious pneumatic system design with standard BSP fittings and wide operating ranges.

Very compact units save valuable panel space and simplify cabinet layouts, reducing installation time and material costs. This compact footprint directly translates to easier retrofits and more efficient valve banks in crowded automation panels. In practice, the 102GB1818 fits tight spaces, enabling streamlined tubing routes and faster commissioning in conveyor systems and assembling lines. The design’s easy tube insertion paired with positive tube anchorage minimizes the risk of leaks during vibration, improving line reliability and reducing maintenance calls. Simpler pneumatic systems mean fewer parts to source and manage, lowering inventory costs while speeding up changeovers in high-mix, low-volume production. The nickel-plated brass body provides corrosion resistance across typical plant environments, extending service life and reducing replacement cycles. Compatibility with the Pneufit series ensures quick integration with standard tube fittings and common automation hardware, while downloadable CAD resources streamline engineering workflows. From a field perspective, technicians report faster commissioning and fewer field adjustments compared with bulkier valve assemblies.

FAQs
Begin by isolating the pneumatic circuit and depressurizing the line. Confirm tube diameter compatibility with Pneufit BSP fittings, then cut the tubing squarely. Insert the tube into the valve’s quick-connect port until a positive stopping point is reached. Verify secure engagement with the positive tube anchorage feature, re-pressurize gradually, and check for leaks during a low-flow test. No loose parts should remain in the enclosure, and ensure alignment with adjacent valves to prevent stress on the tubing.
The 102GB1818 handles compressed air as the medium, with an operating temperature range of -20 to 80 °C and an operating pressure range of -0.9 to 18 bar (-13 to 261 psi). The body is nickel-plated brass, offering durability in standard industrial environments, and it belongs to the Pneufit series designed for reliable, compact installations in automation environments.
The provided data does not specify an IP rating or CE certification for this exact model. In practice, many Norgren Pneufit valves are designed for industrial use in typical factory environments, but for rigorous IP ratings or regulatory compliance, verify with the manufacturer or distributor and obtain official documentation before deployment in harsh or regulated areas.
Pneufit offers compact, quick-connect solutions that reduce installation time and cabinet footprint. The 102GB1818 leverages standard BSP parallel fittings, streamlining field connections and maintenance. This compatibility supports modular valve banks, easier tube routing, and faster changeovers, which is especially beneficial in high-mix production lines where downtime is costly.
The valve’s simple, robust design minimizes leakage risks and reduces the number of field-serviceable components, contributing to lower maintenance costs and less downtime. Its compact footprint and quick-connect capabilities speed up commissioning and future upgrades, delivering a favorable return on investment through improved line uptime, reduced panel space, and easier spare-part management.
