Norgren 4228-03 Excelon Manifold Block - G3/8 Port Size
Part Number: 4228-03
Quick Summary
Norgren Excelon Manifold Block 4228-03 optimizes pneumatic distribution for compact automation lines. Engineers often battle tight spaces and port misalignment that slow assembly and invite leaks. In this industry, CE marking, IP-rated protection, and SIL-capable configurations are critical for safe, compliant operation in automated plants. Designed to integrate with the Excelon family, this block delivers reliable, scalable performance that reduces downtime and total cost of ownership in industrial automation. With a G3/8 port size and compact footprint, it fits densely packed control panels and minimizes tubing runs. The robust design supports consistent performance across harsh environments, while CAD data and datasheets streamline engineering workflows and procurement decisions.

FAQs
For successful installation, ensure mounting to a stable panel or bracket compatible with the block’s compact 36x51x45 mm footprint. Use the G3/8 ports for primary and secondary air feeds, maintain clean, dry supply lines, and align ports to minimize bending radii. Refer to the CAD STEP data for precise mounting hole patterns and allowances, and follow torque guidelines to prevent thread damage during bracket fixation.
The 4228-03 concentrates air distribution within a compact footprint, reducing tubing length and potential pressure drops. Its standardized G3/8 port size supports compatible actuators and valves, enabling faster commissioning and fewer leak paths. In practice, this translates to shorter setup times, more predictable actuation sequences, and improved overall cycle reliability in packaging and assembly applications.
The Excelon manifold block is designed to meet common industry expectations for safety and reliability, with considerations for CE compliance and IP-rated protection in appropriate enclosures. For SIL-rated safety-critical lines, verify configuration with system integrators and consider using protective housings or dedicated safety modules in your control architecture to ensure full compliance in your plant.
The 4228-03 is part of the Excelon series, offering standardized mounting and port patterns that align with other Norgren Excelon modules. This enables modular expansion, easy spares management, and seamless CAD-based validation. When upgrading or retrofitting, leverage STEP CAD data to check fitment and routing before purchasing additional components to ensure a cohesive pneumatic network.
By reducing mounting time, tubing complexity, and potential leak paths, the 4228-03 lowers installation and maintenance labor. Its compact size frees panel space, enabling denser automations and fewer components overall. Over the lifecycle, this translates to lower total cost of ownership, faster changeovers, and improved system uptime in automated production lines.
