Norgren P64F-3GC-PAN Valves & Flow Control - G3/8
Part Number: P64F-3GC-PAN
Quick Summary
P64F-3GC-PAN is a Norgren soft-start dump valve for controlled pneumatic startups in automation systems. It addresses inrush, pressure spikes, and startup shocks that can damage cylinders and slow lines. This solution supports compliance with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, helping OEMs meet safety requirements. Designed for compact integration in the Olympian Plus family, it combines high flow with reliable actuation for efficient manufacturing and reduced downtime. With its G3/8 port, 3/2 valve operation, and durable zinc body, installation is straightforward for approved control panels.

FAQs
Install the valve in a clean, dry air line with the G3/8 port facing the supply side. Use compatible mounting options such as Y64A-3GA-N1N or Y64A-3GA-N2N yoke assemblies and the 74504-50 wall bracket for rigid mounting. Attach the exhaust silencer MB004B if noise is a concern and ensure proper wiring of the solenoid coil (QM/48/18J/21) for reliable actuation.
Key specs include medium: compressed air; operating temperature -20 to 50 °C; operating pressure 3 to 10 bar; port size G3/8; actuation: solenoid pilot with spring return; valve operation: 3/2; flow 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm); body material: zinc alloy; elastomer: nitrile rubber; series: Olympian Plus; model range P64F.
Yes. The valve is designed to assist machine designers in complying with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER requirements by providing controlled startup sequences, pressure management, and reliable shutdown behavior. This alignment helps OEMs meet essential safety and regulatory standards during design, integration, and retrofit projects.
Common concerns include integration complexity, space constraints, and compatibility with existing panels. The P64F-3GC-PAN offers a compact Olympian Plus design, standard G3/8 porting, and compatible mounting options (Y64A yokes, wall bracket). Spare coils and plug-in shut-off valve option (T64T-3GB-P1N) further simplify stocking and maintenance, reducing downtime.
The valve contributes to ROI through reduced startup shocks, lower actuator wear, and shorter cycle times. Maintenance benefits come from robust zinc alloy construction, nitrile elastomer seals, and readily available spare coils (QM/48/18J/21). The combination of durable design and accessible accessories minimizes unscheduled downtime and extends mean time between failures (MTBF).
