Norgren 102GB3838 Pressure Reduction Valve - BSP Parallel
Part Number: 102GB3838
Quick Summary
102GB3838 pressure reduction valve from Norgren provides compact, precise pressure control for pneumatic lines. Engineers often struggle with slow assembly and leaks in tight spaces, especially when tubing anchorage is unreliable. For regulatory and safety considerations, verify CE conformity, SIL compatibility, and any IP ratings relevant to the environment. This model belongs to the Pneufit family and features a nickel-plated brass body for durability, offering rapid tube insertion and positive tube anchorage to simplify assembly and reduce downtime. The result is a more reliable compressed air system with consistent performance, lower energy waste, and predictable operation. Use alongside IMI Norgren components to optimize footprint and overall system cost.
