Norgren T68C-BGB-B2N Valve - 3/2 G1-1/2 Plug-in
Part Number: T68C-BGB-B2N
Quick Summary
Norgren T68C-BGB-B2N Valve provides reliable 3/2 shut-off control for compressed air systems. Operators often contend with slow actuation, hard-to-access exhausts, or leaks in compact installations. Certification details are not listed in this dataset; verify CE, SIL and IP ratings with the supplier to ensure regulatory compliance. Its lockable open or closed position reduces inadvertent operation, while the rugged aluminium body supports long service life in demanding environments. Designed for mid- to large-scale pneumatic circuits, it integrates with standard G1-1/2 ports and compatible fittings to streamline installation and maintenance. This combination translates to lower downtime and increased throughput for automation lines.

FAQs
Yes. The valve uses a G1-1/2 port size and is designed to integrate with standard pneumatic manifolds and piping. When planning, verify port compatibility with your existing block, ensure correct sealing materials, and check mating thread standards to avoid leakage. The aluminium housing and nitrile seals support reliable performance in typical factory environments.
Key specs include a 3/2 valve operation, 17 bar maximum inlet pressure, flow capacity of 451 dm3/sec (956 scfm), and an operating temperature range of -20 to 80 °C. These figures inform actuator sizing, expected response times, and suitability for high-speed indexing, clamping cycles, and venting in automated lines.
Yes, its aluminium body and nitrile elastomer seals are chosen for durability and chemical resistance, enabling reliable operation across a broad temperature spectrum (-20 to 80 °C). For very hot processes or aggressive media, confirm compatibility of elastomer seals and insulation, and consider additional protection against environmental exposure.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. For regulatory compliance and safety verification, consult the supplier or Norgren catalog to confirm CE, SIL, IP ratings, and any industry-specific approvals relevant to your application and region.
The lockable actuation feature minimizes unintended operation, reducing risk of system faults. Durable aluminium construction and nitrile seals lower corrosion-related maintenance. Regular inspection of seals, exhaust for blockages, and mounting integrity will extend service life, while the valve compatibility with standard parts simplifies spare-parts logistics and reduces downtime during replacements.
