Norgren X3046402 5/2 Valve - G1/8 Knob Actuation
Part Number: X3046402
Quick Summary
Norgren X3046402 is a compact 5/2 valve for precise compressed-air control in automation systems. For panel builders and maintenance teams, space constraints and leakage risk are common pain points, and this valve helps mitigate them with a narrow footprint and robust seals. As part of the Super X family, it supports industry-standard configurations and rugged construction suitable for demanding environments, including 0–70 °C operation and -0.9 to 10 bar pressure range, with 335 l/m flow capacity. Designed for easy manual or pilot operation, it offers knob-to-knob or air-pilot return — streamlining integration into existing control architectures. When selecting components, consider CE-oriented compliance and the need for reliable performance in multi-directional flow and dual-supply applications. Compatibility with Pneufit C fittings and natural-tubing options further reduces installation time and parts variance, improving total cost of ownership.

FAQs
To install the X3046402 on a G1/8 line, ensure the port fittings match G1/8 thread standards, slide in compatible Pneufit C push-in fittings, and secure with appropriate seals to prevent leaks. Day-to-day checks should verify alignment with the actuator and pilot return connection, and the system should be depressurized before any maintenance. The compact footprint helps fit into tight panels, reducing installation depth by roughly a few centimeters depending on mounting orientation.
Yes. The X3046402 is designed to work with Pneufit C push-in fittings and common 6 mm tubing, which simplifies integration with existing pneumatic circuits. This compatibility lowers new-part counts, speeds up commissioning, and supports straightforward leakage testing during system validation.
The valve operates from 0 to 70 degrees Celsius and handles a pressure range of -0.9 to 10 bar (-13 to 145 psi). These limits make it suitable for most standard industrial compressed-air applications and help minimize performance variability in fluctuating plant environments.
Actuation options include knob/knob and air-pilot return. Knob actuation supports easy manual overrides in maintenance or start-up checks, while air-pilot return enables automated control with existing solenoid or pilot-operated logic. Either option integrates into dual-supply or multi-directional flow setups without requiring major control-system rewrites.
Its compact 5/2 design, G1/8 porting, and light zinc body reduce panel footprint while maintaining high flow (335 l/m). Nitrile seals offer chemical resistance, and the option for Pneufit C fittings ensures quick, reliable installation. Combined with the wide operating range and dual actuation modes, it delivers reliable performance with lower maintenance and inventory costs.
