Norgren P64F-4GC-PAA Valves - 3/2, G1/2, 3-10 bar
Part Number: P64F-4GC-PAA
Quick Summary
Norgren P64F-4GC-PAA is a soft start dump valve designed to safely start pneumatic systems in automated production lines. Engineers often face inrush pressure spikes that stress actuators, cause downtime, and complicate regulatory compliance. The design supports CE marking under the European Machinery Directive and PUWER readiness, and is engineered for SIL-compatible safety integration with existing controls. By delivering a controlled downstream pressure during startup, it reduces wear on downstream components and cylinders, improves reliability, and helps manufacturing sites meet stringent safety requirements with minimal modifications. Coupled with Olympian Plus accessories and standard mounting options, it delivers scalable, cost-effective performance for industrial automation projects.

Solenoid pilot / Spring return actuation enables remote control and a safe fail-safe default, reducing energy consumption and the risk of unintended actuation during startup in automated lines. This translates to smoother commissioning, lower maintenance costs, and improved operator safety. The 3/2 valve operation with G1/2 port simplifies integration into standard compressed air systems, enabling faster installation and consistent plumbing across multiple machines. With a high forward flow capacity of 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm), the valve supports rapid pressure ramp-down and controlled dumping, reducing cycle times and improving overall line throughput in packaging and manufacturing. Zinc alloy body and nitrile elastomer seals provide robust durability in demanding environments while maintaining leak-tight performance and ease of service. The Rc1/8 gauge port enables straightforward instrumentation and monitoring, supporting condition-based maintenance and process analytics. Accessories such as the T64T-4GB-P1N plug-in shut-off valve, wall bracket, and yoke assemblies streamline mounting and retrofit projects for Olympian Plus systems.

FAQs
To install, mount the valve using compatible Olympian Plus mounting hardware, such as the Wall Bracket 74504-50 or Yoke assemblies (Y64A-4GA-N1N/N2N), and connect the G1/2 ports to your compressed air piping. Use the Rc1/8 gauge port for instrumentation and ensure the solenoid coil is powered with a suitable driver. For retrofits, consider the T64T-4GB-P1N plug-in shut-off valve option to simplify service and maintenance without major plumbing changes.
Key performance figures include an operating pressure of 3 to 10 bar (43 to 145 psi), a medium of compressed air, port size G1/2, and a flow capacity of 57 dm3/sec (121 scfm). The valve is 3/2 operated and uses solenoid pilot actuation with a spring return, making it suitable for rapid, controlled startup and safe shutdown in automated lines.
Yes. The P64F-4GC-PAA provides a controlled pressure ramp during startup, protecting downstream cylinders and valves in packaging lines and other automation equipment. Its compact G1/2 porting, robust zinc alloy body, and compatibility with Olympian Plus accessories make it a sound choice for high-cycle environments requiring reliable, repeatable dump and start-up sequencing.
The valve is designed to assist compliance with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, supporting CE marking and safe integration within compliant control systems. While it does not declare SIL ratings, it is compatible with safety-rated controls and proper system integration ensures alignment with SIL-based risk reduction strategies.
Maximize ROI with readily available spare coils (QM/48/18J/21), silencers (MB004B), and plug-in accessories (T64T-4GB-P1N). Routine checks on the nitrile elastomer seals and zinc alloy body, along with periodic inspection of gauge port connections, preserve performance and longevity.
