Norgren M/1704/177 Valve - Lever/Lever 5/2
Part Number: M/1704/177
Quick Summary
The Norgren M/1704/177 valve provides reliable, lever-actuated 5/2 pneumatic control for compact automation tasks. In production lines, downtime caused by misalignment or difficult servicing can derail throughput and inflate maintenance costs. Typical industry certifications for this class include CE conformity, SIL readiness, and IP-rated protection; verify exact statuses in the official datasheet. Designed for easy integration with standard Pneufit C fittings and sub-base mounting, it delivers predictable performance in conveyor, packaging, and machine tooling environments. The combination of robust construction and serviceability helps reduce total cost of ownership in busy automation lines.

Lever/lever manual actuation provides tactile, immediate control over the 5/2 valve, while the air-assisted detent ensures a positive, repeatable valve location. This combination minimizes mispositioning during high-cycle runs and reduces operator fatigue in repetitive tasks. In packaging and assembly lines, this translates to faster line starts and fewer misfeeds at critical pick-and-place stations. With a true 5/2 configuration and a standard G1/2 port, the M/1704/177 integrates easily with common pneumatic manifolds and Pneufit C fittings, shortening installation times and reducing hardware diversity. Engineers can swap sub-assemblies without bespoke adapters, improving uptime and simplifying spares management. Operating from -20 to 80 C and 2 to 10 bar, it remains reliable across diverse plant environments, including cosnsistent performance in heat, cold, and workshop floors. The 3200 l/m (113 scfm) flow supports high-cycle lines such as packaging and conveyance, enabling stable pressure differentials during rapid cycling. Its zinc body with nitrile seals delivers durable service in typical pneumatic systems, resisting wear and chemical exposure while maintaining a tight seal. Sub-base mounting and an air-assisted detent contribute to quick field servicing and repeatable performance when multiple valves operate in parallel. Quiet operation and compatible fittings further ease installation in panel-mounted layouts, reducing downtime during commissioning and maintenance.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the G1/2 port layout and mounting pattern is compatible with your sub-base. Use Pneufit C push-in fittings for quick, secure connections and align the valve with the air supply and return lines. Mount on a compatible sub-base, then verify detent alignment and lever operation before commissioning the cycle sequence.
Key specs include medium: compressed air; operating temperature range from -20 to 80 °C ( -4 to 176 °F ); operating pressure 2 to 10 bar (29 to 145 psi); port size G1/2; valve operation 5/2; flow 3200 l/m (113 scfm). Actuation is lever/lever, enabling manual control with reliable positioning.
Yes. The valve’s air-assisted detent provides repeatable positioning critical for high-cycle operations, and its 3200 l/m flow supports rapid actuations. The compact Martonair design, zinc body, and nitrile seals offer durability under continuous cycling, while sub-base mounting simplifies panel integration and maintenance access.
Check the official Norgren datasheet for current certification statuses. Typical industry expectations for this Martonair range include CE conformity, SIL readiness where applicable, and IP-rated protection. Always verify the exact certifications and regional compliance relevant to your installation before deployment.
Routinely inspect seals and connections for wear, especially at the lever actuators and port joints. Use the sub-base mounting for quick access during service, and replace nitrile seals at regular intervals per your maintenance schedule. Keep the air supply clean and within the 2–10 bar range to sustain consistent performance.
