Norgren VHLA300-03G Rotary Lever Valve - 4/3 APB, G3/8
Part Number: VHLA300-03G
Quick Summary
Norgren VHLA300-03G rotary lever valve provides precise 4/3 control of compressed air in automation systems. Engineers often struggle to find compact, panel-ready valves that combine secure detents with fast, repeatable actuation. While this datasheet does not specify CE, SIL or IP ratings, Norgren valves are designed for CE conformity and panel-environment compatibility, with SIL-ready control options where applicable; verify exact certification scope in the official datasheet. This valve integrates a panel mounting option, a detented centre position, and a 4/3 APB function to support reliable, low-maintenance operation in tight spaces, reducing wiring complexity and enabling quicker changeovers on production lines. With compatible push-in fittings and silencers, it delivers predictable performance while helping reduce total cost of ownership over time.

The 4/3 valve operation with APB function delivers full control across three positions, enabling more compact pneumatic circuits and eliminating the need for supplementary spares, which translates to reduced footprint and faster line changes. This directly improves equipment uptime and lowers installation costs as system layouts can be simplified while maintaining precise flow control. The lever-actuated design with a detented centre position provides tactile feedback and repeatable positioning, minimizing mis-actuation in high-demand environments and enhancing operator confidence during setup and maintenance. Panel mounting capability via VHLA-300N supports space-saving installations in control panels, enabling neater, safer layouts and faster commissioning in crowded or retrofit projects. Aluminium body construction combined with nitrile seals offers robust, lightweight performance with good chemical and oil resistance, translating to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs. The included Pneufit C push-in fittings and the T40C3800 silencer simplify on-site assembly and reduce noise exposure in the workplace, helping meet workplace safety and compliance targets. Designed to operate across a broad temperature and pressure range, VHLA300-03G provides consistent performance from -5 to 60 °C and 0 to 9.7 bar, ensuring compatibility with standard plant air supplies and diverse application needs while supporting energy-efficient operation by delivering predictable flow under varying loads.

FAQs
VHLA300-03G supports panel mounting via the VHLA-300N panel mounting nut, allowing a compact, space-saving installation in control panels. For quick assembly, use the Pneufit C push-in fittings (C02471038 and C02251038) to connect 10 mm tubing. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and square to maintain detent accuracy and seal integrity across the 4/3 valve actuation.
Key specs include a G3/8 port size, 4/3 valve operation with APB function, flow of 1100 l/m (39 scfm), and operating pressure 0 to 9.7 bar. These characteristics support fast, repeatable actuation with high throughput in compact pneumatic networks, reducing cycle times and enabling more reliable automation sequences in packaging and assembly lines.
Yes. The 4/3 APB valve with lever actuation is well-suited for compact pneumatic circuits in manufacturing automation, including panel-mounted control stations, grippers, and shuttle valves. Its detented centre position improves repeatability in repetitive tasks, while the panel-mount option helps integrate into tight control panels and retrofit projects without extensive reworking of existing layouts.
The provided data does not list explicit certifications. In practice, many Norgren pneumatic valves are designed for CE conformity and suitable for standard industrial environments; however, verify the exact certification scope and any IP protection rating in the official datasheet or with the supplier to ensure compliance for your application and region.
Plan for routine inspection of the detented lever and seals, and ensure clean, moisture-free compressed air to preserve seal life. Use the included fittings and the T40C3800 silencer to minimize noise and leakage. Regularly check the panel mount integrity and re-tighten mounting hardware to maintain precise actuation and prevent unintended movement over time.
