Norgren P64F-3GC-PFA Olympian Plus Dump Valve - 3-10 bar
Part Number: P64F-3GC-PFA
Quick Summary
P64F-3GC-PFA is a soft start dump valve used to control startup pressure in pneumatic automation applications. Engineers often battle pressure spikes and startup shocks that harm downstream equipment and slow line throughput. It helps meet the European Machinery Directive and PUWER requirements, supporting CE compliance and reducing risk in new or retrofitted machines. Designed for compact compressed air systems with G3/8 ports, it delivers precise flow and smoother startup, helping OEMs and maintenance teams minimize downtime. Operating pressure ranges from 3 to 10 bar, with a -20 to 50 °C temperature window, and a 3/2 valve arrangement for reliable control.

FAQs
Begin by selecting compatible mounting hardware such as Y64A-3GA-N1N or Y64A-3GA-N2N yoke assemblies and the 74504-50 wall bracket. Connect the G3/8 port lines to the existing compressed air manifold, then wire the coil to a QM/48/13J/21 spare coil assembly. Use the Rc1/8 gauge port for diagnostics and confirm 3-10 bar supply. Mounting and wiring should follow the Olympian Plus installation guide for a secure, maintenance-friendly setup.
Key specs include a 3/2 valve operation, G3/8 port size, operating pressure range of 3 to 10 bar, and a flow rate of 57 dm3/s (121 scfm). The actuator is a solenoid pilot with spring return, suitable for tight shut-off and fast response. Temperature range is -20 to 50 °C, and the body is zinc alloy with nitrile elastomer seals, ensuring durability in industrial environments.
Yes. The valve’s high forward flow capacity and controlled pressure ramp make it ideal for packaging lines and automation cells. Its 3/2 valve configuration supports simple logic integration, and the G3/8 ports fit common modular manifolds. The Olympian Plus platform and available accessories facilitate quick retrofits, minimizing downtime while ensuring smooth startup to protect downstream equipment.
The P64F-3GC-PFA helps designers comply with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER requirements, aiding CE conformity in new machinery or upgrades. Its rugged construction and elastomer materials are chosen for reliability in industrial use, while the valve’s documentation and mounting options align with standard safety and installation practices used in modern automation facilities.
Maintenance benefits include compatible spare coils (QM/48/13J/21), a robust zinc alloy body, and nitrile elastomer seals that resist wear in continuous operation. The silent operation option (MB004B silencer) reduces noise in busy lines, contributing to a healthier work environment. ROI comes from reduced startup shocks, minimized downtime, and easier retrofits with mounting accessories, leading to longer equipment life and lower lifecycle costs.
