Norgren P68F-NGL-PPA Dump Valve - IP65 Sealed Plug
Part Number: P68F-NGL-PPA
Quick Summary
The P68F-NGL-PPA dump valve from Norgren precisely controls downstream pressure during machine start-up in automated lines. This helps prevent pressure surges that can damage cylinders, cause uneven cycles, or shorten equipment life. It supports compliance with the European Machinery Directive, PUWER, and IP65 protection when used with a sealed plug. Built for reliability, the aluminium body and nitrile elastomer seals resist factory wear while delivering consistent opening and dumping performance. Designed for seamless integration into existing pneumatic systems, it offers predictable startup behavior, reduces fault-induced downtime, and supports scalable automation investments in packaging, automotive, and general manufacturing environments. Compact footprint and standard 3/2 operation simplify retrofits.

FAQs
The port size is without a yoke, but Norgren provides Yoke assemblies Y68A-6GN-N1N and Y68A-6GN-N2N to enable secure mounting. A wall bracket (18-001-979) is also available for retrofit installations. This setup simplifies retrofits and maintains clear attachment to existing frames without reworking upstream plumbing.
Operating pressure ranges from 3 to 10 bar (44 to 145 psi). The valve offers a flow of 147 dm3/sec (312 scfm) in its 3/2 configuration, with solenoid pilot and spring return actuation. These specs support rapid, controlled ramp-up, reducing surge risk on startup while maintaining reliable tool actuation.
Yes. It is designed to aid compliance with the European Machinery Directive and PUWER, and it carries IP65 protection when used with a sealed plug. The combination of sealed IP protection and directive alignment makes it suitable for European automation projects in regulated industries.
Ideal for automation lines requiring smooth startup sequences, such as packaging, automotive assembly, and tooling stations. The high flow supports fast pressurization without overshoot, while the durable aluminium body and nitrile seals withstand industrial environments. The valve's 3/2 operation makes it a straightforward drop-in for many pneumatic circuits.
Retrofits are simplified by the without-Yoke port design plus availability of compatible yoke assemblies and a wall bracket. The predictable startup behavior reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs, delivering faster payback on automation upgrades while preserving compatibility with existing control logic and wiring.
