Norgren P68F-NGL-PFA Dump Valve - IP65 Sealed Plug
Part Number: P68F-NGL-PFA
Quick Summary
Norgren P68F-NGL-PFA is a dump valve delivering a soft-start and controlled pressure ramp for pneumatic startup in automation equipment. This helps reduce startup shocks and valve chatter, preventing premature wear and unplanned downtime. The unit is CE-marked for European Machinery Directive compliance and features IP65 protection, supporting PUWER-aligned safety practices in demanding environments. A robust aluminium body with nitrile elastomer seals ensures durability in compressed air systems, while the solenoid pilot and spring-return actuation provide reliable, fail-safe operation. Designed for easy integration into existing OEM lines, it pairs with standard Norgren yoke options and common 3/2 configurations to streamline installation and ongoing maintenance.

Feature: Solenoid pilot with spring-return provides precise, repeatable actuation and fail-safe closure. Business impact: Improves reliability, reduces startup shocks and energy waste. Application: Ideal for packaging, pick-and-place, and automated assembly where a clean pressure ramp protects downstream cylinders. Feature: 3/2 valve configuration operating between 3 and 10 bar. Business impact: Offers broad compatibility with common plant air networks, simplifying design and single-vendor support. Application: Start-up control across a wide range of machines, from conveyors to clamping systems. Feature: High flow capacity of 312 scfm (147 dm3/sec). Business impact: Enables rapid pressure changes, reduces cycle times, and improves throughput in high-demand lines. Application: Pneumatic dies, tooling, and actuator banks where swift release during dump or startup is required. Feature: Aluminium body with nitrile elastomer seals. Business impact: Robust construction resists corrosion and wear in tough factory environments, lowering maintenance costs. Application: Anywhere compressed air is used, including damp or dusty plants, with operating temperatures from -20 to 50 C. Feature: IP65-rated protection with sealed plug; port without yoke. Business impact: Enhances ingress protection and simplifies retrofits, reducing downtime during installation. Application: OEM lines needing compact, mountable units with easy mounting options like Yoke assemblies Y68A-6GN-N1N/N2N and wall brackets such as 18-001-979.

FAQs
The valve is ported without a yoke by default, but it is compatible with Yoke assemblies Y68A-6GN-N1N and Y68A-6GN-N2N. For installation, you can also use the 18-001-979 wall bracket to secure the unit in challenging layouts, simplifying retrofits and OEM line integrations.
It uses a solenoid pilot with spring-return, configured as a 3/2 valve, and operates between 3 and 10 bar. The operating temperature range is -20 to 50 C, with a flow of 147 dm3/sec (312 scfm). The body is aluminium and elastomers are nitrile rubber, with IP65 protection on a sealed plug.
Yes. The P68F-NGL-PFA provides a controlled soft-start, reducing startup shocks and chatter, which protects downstream equipment in packaging and automated lines while helping maintain regulatory alignment and line uptime.
The valve supports European Machinery Directive compliance (CE-marked) and IP65 protection. It is designed to support PUWER-based safety practices in demanding environments, enhancing regulatory alignment for OEMs.
With an aluminium body and nitrile elastomer seals, the valve offers robust durability and reduced corrosion-related maintenance. Its compatibility with standard yoke options and simple mounting minimizes downtime during retrofits, supporting longer service intervals and predictable lifecycle costs.
