IP65 protection and ATEX intrinsically safe construction shield the valve from washdowns, dust, and hazards in harsh plants. The business impact is reduced field failures, lower maintenance costs, and safer installations. In practice this enables use in hazardous zones on packaging lines, chemical processing, and outdoor automation. 4-20 mA control and G1/4 port simplify integration with existing manifolds and air lines. The business impact is faster setup, lower wiring complexity, and compatibility with common industrial controllers, reducing installation times in large projects. Operating from -40 to 85 °C and 0.2 to 1 bar pressure covers a wide range of environments, from cold rooms to hot process lines. The business impact is consistent performance and a broader application window, reducing the need for multiple part numbers. Zinc body construction provides robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, contributing to longer service life in harsh environments. This translates to lower replacement costs and improved total cost of ownership over the life of the system. The 100X range enables fine proportional control, supported by a 300 L/min flow (10.59 scfm) to match typical pneumatic loads. In practice, this delivers precise response and predictable actuation for conveyors, clamps, and automated dosing valves. Based on the Watson Smith series, the 492100R integrates with related Norgren components for streamlined maintenance and spare-part compatibility. With standard interfaces including G1/4 ports and 4-20 mA signals, installation is straightforward and scalable across multiple lines.
