FAQs
The X3046502 uses a G1/8 port and is compatible with Pneufit C push-in fittings, including C02250618 (straight adaptor) and C02470618 (90° elbow). It also supports PA tubing PA2-0006100 (100 m, 6 mm/4 mm) and PA2-0006025C (25 m, 6 mm/4 mm). For installation, consider the M/3314 tube cutter to ensure clean, burr-free tube ends for leak-free connections.
Key specs include a medium of compressed air, operating temperature from 0 to 70 °C (32 to 158 °F), and operating pressure of -0.9 to 10 bar (-13 to 145 psi). The valve is a 5/2 configuration with knob/knob actuation and a flow rate of 335 L/min (12 scfm). Body material is zinc, with nitrile seals, and overall dimensions of 119.5 mm length, 36 mm width, and 24 mm height.
Yes. The X3046502 is designed to support multi-directional flow and dual supply configurations within a compact footprint, making it well-suited for complex pneumatic circuits. Its 5/2 valve operation and wide operator range allow you to implement versatile control strategies in automation lines, reducing the need for additional valves or adapters.
Check the datasheet for exact certification markings and approvals relevant to your region. Common considerations include CE compliance for European markets and performance characteristics related to SIL capability or IP ratings for safety-critical or harsh-environment installations. Always verify the official documentation to confirm the specific certifications applicable to your equipment and regulatory requirements.
The valve uses a corrosion-resistant zinc body and nitrile seals, which contribute to longer service life and reduced maintenance intervals. The compact design and standard Push-in fittings shorten installation time and simplify field upgrades. High flow and reliable actuation translate to faster cycle times and improved equipment uptime, delivering a favorable return on investment in production environments.
