Norgren M/1702/87 5/3 Valve - G1/4 Port APB, Martonair
Part Number: M/1702/87
Quick Summary
Norgren M/1702/87 is a compact, manually actuated 5/3 valve designed for compressed-air automation in manufacturing lines. When downtime and misalignment slow production, this valve’s air-assisted detent ensures positive valve location, while its simple servicing and sub-base mounting reduce maintenance time. Although not all datasheets list every certification, this class of Martonair components typically aligns with CE marking and SIL safety expectations, plus robust IP-rated protection for harsh environments. With a G1/4 port, lever actuation, and a 2–10 bar operating range, the M/1702/87 delivers reliable performance in tight footprints, helping you optimize cycle times, reduce leaks, and improve overall equipment effectiveness. This makes it a compelling option for compact pneumatic control in high-demand lines.

FAQs
The M/1702/87 is designed for sub-base mounting with G1/4 ports, facilitating compact installations. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and aligned to the valve’s 200 x 200 mm footprint. Use compatible Pneufit C push-in fittings and ensure the sub-base is securely fastened to prevent misalignment during cycling. The device operates at 2–10 bar and utilizes lever/lever/lever actuation for straightforward manual control.
Key specs include a 1290 l/m flow rate, G1/4 port size, 5/3 valve operation, and actuated by lever/lever/lever. It handles compressed air at 2–10 bar and operates from -20 to 80°C, with a body made of zinc and nitrile seals. These attributes support reliable actuation of double-acting cylinders in compact automation layouts.
Yes. The 5/3 configuration provides versatile control for single or dual-acting cylinders in packaging, machine tooling, and general automation. Its compact footprint, combined with a robust detent mechanism and easy servicing, makes it well-suited for high-cycle environments where space is at a premium and uptime is critical.
Industrial users typically expect CE marking and compliance with SIL safety expectations for pneumatic valve components, along with adequate IP protection for environmental conditions. While the datasheet specifies operating limits and materials, confirm with your compliance team or distributor whether additional regional certifications apply to your installation.
The air-assisted detent ensures precise resets and reduced mislocation, while the sub-base mounting and straightforward servicing cut maintenance downtime. In practice, this translates to lower unplanned stoppages, faster changeovers, and improved line efficiency, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership over the valve’s service life.
