Norgren P68F-6GH-PFA Valve - IP65, G3/4 Port, Olympian Plus
Part Number: P68F-6GH-PFA
Quick Summary
The Norgren P68F-6GH-PFA Valve is a controlled-start dump valve designed for compressed air systems in automation and packaging lines. By gradually releasing downstream pressure during startup, it reduces peak loads, minimizes wear on valves and cylinders, and helps protect costly automation assets. Certified for CE, IP65 protection with a sealed plug, and aligned with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, the device supports regulatory compliance in demanding environments. The aluminium body, nitrile elastomer seals, and high-flow dump capability deliver robust performance across temperature and duty cycles. Designed for easy integration with Olympian Plus accessories and mounting options, it accelerates installation, improves uptime, and lowers lifecycle costs for manufacturers.

FAQs
The P68F-6GH-PFA is compatible with Yoke assemblies (Y68A-6GN-N1N, N2N) and can be paired with the Wall Bracket 18-001-979. For retrofit projects, ensure mounting surfaces are flat and aligned to prevent mis-seating. Use proper screws and sealant where required to maintain IP65 integrity.
Operating pressure range is 3 to 10 bar with a G3/4 port and Rc1/8 gauge port. The valve is a 3/2 configuration with a flow of 147 dm3/sec (312 scfm). Actuation is solenoid pilot with spring return, delivering controlled startup sequencing essential for sensitive downstream actuators.
Yes. The unit is IP65 protected when used with a sealed plug, and its aluminium body with nitrile elastomer seals is designed for durability in demanding environments. This makes it appropriate for washdown areas and demanding OEM machinery where moisture and dust exposure are concerns.
The device is CE-marked and aligned with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER requirements, helping manufacturers demonstrate regulatory compliance during product development and through the lifecycle of the equipment.
With reduced startup stress, improved uptime, and compatibility with common mounting options, maintenance intervals extend and spare-part inventory simplifies. The robust aluminium body and reliable seals limit unscheduled downtime, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in automation and packaging lines.
