IMI Norgren P68F-AGC-PFA Dump Valve - 3-10 bar IP65
Part Number: P68F-AGC-PFA
Quick Summary
The P68F-AGC-PFA dump valve provides controlled start-up pressure for automated manufacturing lines. Start-up surges can stress downstream actuators and trip sensors; this valve moderates ramp rates to avoid shocks. It supports CE-compliant design under the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, and carries IP65 protection with sealed plug. With a G1-1/4 port and 3-10 bar range, it suits high-flow pneumatic circuits while maintaining compact footprint. Designed for OEMs and upgrade projects, it integrates with Olympian Plus components and standard control logic to deliver reliable uptime. This combination translates to easier validation, reduced downtime, and lower lifecycle costs.

FAQs
This valve uses a G1-1/4 port, solenoid pilot with a spring return, and Rc1/8 gauge port. For installation, mount with compatible Olympian Plus accessories (Y68A yoke assemblies, wall bracket 18-001-978) and connect the Rc gauge port for system diagnostics. Ensure IP65 sealed plug is fitted for dirty environments.
The P68F-AGC-PFA supports 3-10 bar (44-145 psi) with a high flow capacity of 147 dm3/s (312 scfm). It operates as a 3/2 valve for controlled venting and ramping, enabling rapid yet gentle startup across demanding pneumatic lines.
Yes. The valve is designed to aid compliance with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, providing controlled pressure rise and reliable performance in automated equipment while meeting essential health and safety requirements.
Recommended options include Y68A-AGN-N2N or Y68A-AGN-N1N yoke assemblies for mounting, T68H-AGB-B2N plug-in shut-off valve for shut-off integration, and MB008B Quietaire silencer for noise reduction. A wall bracket (18-001-978) supports permanent installations in compact layouts.
Aluminium body with nitrile elastomers provides durable wear resistance, reducing replacement frequency. IP65 protection minimizes ingress-related maintenance. Combined with high-flow performance and reliable actuation, downtime is lowered and total cost of ownership improves in high-cycle applications.
