Norgren P68F-BGL-PPA Dump Valve G1-1/2, IP65
Part Number: P68F-BGL-PPA
Quick Summary
The Norgren P68F-BGL-PPA is a dump valve that provides a controlled pressure ramp at startup for pneumatic tooling. Many automated lines struggle with startup surges, pressurization spikes, and unnecessary wear on downstream valves and cylinders. This Olympian Plus valve supports CE machinery directive compliance and PUWER requirements, thanks to its robust IP65-sealed performance. With an aluminium body, high forward flow, and plug-and-play compatibility with Olympian Plus accessories, it delivers reliable startup control and peace of mind for system integrators and maintenance teams.

Feature: Compressed air as the operating medium enables clean, dry actuation with readily available plant utilities. Business Impact: Reduces startup surge energy and minimizes wear on downstream equipment, extending component life and stabilizing production cycles. Application: Suitable for packaging lines, automated assembly cells, and palletizing stations where controlled pressurization improves cycle times. Feature: Operating pressure range 3–10 bar supports diverse automation scenarios. Business Impact: Enables wide installation flexibility and scalable performance across different tool sizes and actuators. Application: Retrofit projects and greenfield lines alike in pressurized air systems. Feature: Port size G1-1/2 and gauge port Rc1/8 simplify integration with standard manifolds and gauges. Business Impact: Easier retrofits and faster commissioning, reducing downtime and engineering effort. Application: Replacement of older dump valves or integration into new Olympian Plus platforms. Feature: Actuation via solenoid pilot and spring return provides flexible control. Business Impact: PLC-friendly control with fail-safe return, reducing control wiring and hold-off times. Application: Remote actuation from central control, compatible with common automation PLCs. Feature: IP65 seal (with sealed plug) delivers rugged reliability in dusty or moist environments. Business Impact: Lower maintenance, fewer field failures, and extended service intervals. Application: Outdoor enclosures, dusty factory floors, and washdown areas. Feature: Aluminium body and nitrile elastomers offer durability and chemical resistance. Business Impact: Lightweight yet robust housing supports long service life with stable performance. Application: Heavy-use OEM lines and high-cycle applications. Feature: Compatibility with Olympian Plus accessories such as plug-in shut-off valves and mounting kits. Business Impact: Accelerates installation, reduces configuration errors, and enables modular upgrade paths. Application: System expansions and upgrade projects with T68H-BGB-B2N, Y68A mounting options, and MB008B silencers.

FAQs
The P68F-BGL-PPA supports standard Olympian Plus mounting, including Yoke assemblies (Y68A-BGN-N1N, Y68A-BGN-N2N) and wall brackets (18-001-972). For quick installation, consider the T68H-BGB-B2N plug-in shut-off valve as part of an integrated 3/2 plug-in system. This setup simplifies alignment, reduces leak paths, and speeds commissioning during line upgrades or retrofits.
Key specs include a G1-1/2 port, 3–10 bar operating pressure, 147 dm3/sec flow, and 3/2 valve operation with solenoid pilot and spring return. These enable a controlled downstream pressurization ramp, minimizing surge, improving cycle stability, and protecting downstream actuators during machine start-up in high-volume automation cells.
Yes. The valve’s design supports compliance with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER through controlled startup pressure and robust IP65 sealing (with sealed plug). It is engineered for reliable operation in harsh environments, aiding engineers in meeting regulatory expectations while maintaining performance.
Regular inspection should focus on seals and elastomers (Nitrile rubber) and corrosion-free aluminium body integrity. The IP65 rating reduces ingress risk, but routine cleaning, grit-free air supply, and checking gauge port connections (Rc1/8) help sustain performance. Consider integrating Quietaire MB008B silencers for noise reduction in busy lines.
