IMI Norgren T65C1800 Shuttle Valve - Port Size G1/8
Part Number: T65C1800
Quick Summary
The Norgren T65C1800 shuttle valve enables two signals to share a pilot line for OR logic in pneumatic systems. Engineers often struggle with routing complexity and signal contention when integrating multiple sources, leading to delays and reliability issues. Certification considerations include CE compliance, RoHS materials, and IP protection levels depending on installation context; verify with the datasheet. Beyond core function, users gain predictable performance and easy scalability by ganging multiple units to accommodate three or more sources. In practical automation projects, this translates to shorter wiring runs, reduced leak paths, and faster commissioning for compressed-air control networks. This makes it easier for procurement to specify exact hardware for a given line.

Two independent signal sources can be connected to a common pilot line, enabling OR logic in control circuits. Business impact: This simplifies pneumatic layouts, reduces interconnects, and improves fault tolerance in automation lines. Application: Ideal for sensor and valve networks where multiple pilot signals must be prioritized without backflow or contention. G1/8 port size with standard fittings. Business impact: Simplifies integration with existing manifolds and PA2 tubing; reduces need for adapters and leak paths. Application: Connects to PA2-0004100 or PA2-0004025C tubing in typical Norgren installations. Zinc body and compact dimensions. Business impact: Lightweight yet robust, enabling easier panel mounting and space-saving layouts. Application: On densely packed automation cells where space is at a premium. Ganging capability to operate from three or more sources. Business impact: Scales control logic without replacing hardware; reduces custom manifolds. Application: System expansions or multi-sensor control lines. Wide operating range and defined flow. Business impact: Compatible with 0.7–10 bar pressure and -20 to 80 °C; ensures consistent operation across environments. Flow of 6.87 dm3/s helps prevent bottlenecks. Application: High-demand actuation lines or multiple pilot inputs. CAD and datasheet availability for fast integration. Business impact: Speeds design validation and procurement readiness, reducing project lead times. Application: Engineering workflows that rely on accurate 3D data and formal specifications.

FAQs
The T65C1800 uses standard G1/8 port connections. Install with compatible G1/8 pneumatic fittings and tubing such as Norgren PA2-0004100 (100 m, 4mm/2.5mm) or PA2-0004025C (25 m, 4mm/2.5mm). Ensure clean, dry air and proper seating of fittings to prevent leaks. When wiring multiple sources, consolidate lines carefully to maintain OR logic without signal cross-talk. Use adequate mounting clearance to allow easy access for maintenance and potential ganging with additional units.
Key performance specs include medium: compressed air; port size: G1/8; operating pressure range: 0.7 to 10 bar; operating temperature range: -20 to 80 °C; maximum flow: 6.87 dm3/s; and body material: zinc. These parameters support reliable OR-logic operation across typical factory environments, while maintaining compact dimensions (15 mm height, 36 mm length, 25 mm width) for space-constrained installations.
Yes. The extended description notes that the valve can be combined to operate from three or more sources and that individual valves can be ganged together. This makes it ideal for multi-sensor, multi-actuator, or multi-pilot scenarios, enabling scalable OR logic without redesigning the control manifold. When planning such configurations, ensure consistent signal timing and pressure supply to prevent contention.
Certification verification should be drawn from the datasheet because explicit certifications are not listed in the data provided. Look for CE marking for European compliance, RoHS materials compliance, and any IP protection ratings relevant to your installation environment. Always confirm these details with the official datasheet before finalizing procurement to ensure regulatory alignment in your target market.
