IMI Norgren X3048402 5/2 Manual Valve - G1/8 Port
Part Number: X3048402
Quick Summary
X3048402 is a 5/2 manual valve designed for compressed air systems in automation lines. Operators often face fatigue and inconsistent actuation with pedal valves, but this unit delivers reliable pedal-to-pedal control in a compact package. The data sheet does not list CE, IP, or SIL certifications; validate compliance for your project with the official documentation. Built with a zinc body and nitrile seals, it offers durable corrosion resistance in harsh environments, while a compact footprint eases retrofit and reduces installation time. With G1/8 porting, a wide operating range, and high flow, it supports flexible configurations and faster cycle times in automated production lines.

Feature → Business Impact → Application. The X3048402 provides a wide range of operators and supports multi-directional flow and dual supply configurations, enabling engineers to simplify manifolds and reduce the number of valves in automated lines. This translates into lower assembly time and improved system reliability for packaging and material handling lines, where quick, repeatable pedal actuation is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application. The valve offers a high flow capacity of 335 l/m, which minimizes pressure drop and shortens actuator travel times. In practice, this means faster cylinder response and elevated throughput on conveyors and pick-and-place cells in manufacturing environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application. A zinc body with nitrile seals delivers corrosion resistance in dirty, humid environments, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life for automation panels in food processing, automotive, and robotics applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application. Standard G1/8 porting and a broad operating range (-0.9 to 10 bar, 0–70 °C) simplify integration with existing pneumatics, enabling plug-and-play upgrades and easier stocking of spare parts for OEMs. Feature → Business Impact → Application. The compact dimensions (187 mm length, 71 mm width, 84 mm height) and weight of 1.18 kg facilitate retrofits in tight control cabinets and crowded automation cells, supporting faster installation and lower mounting stress. Industry insight notes that compatible push-in fittings and elbows (Pneufit C series) streamline field assembly and service, reducing downtime during upgrades.

FAQs
To install the X3048402, mount in a clean panel area with aligned porting to minimize bending stresses. Use Pneufit C push-in fittings C02250618 for straight connections or C02470618 for 90° elbows to ensure leak-free interfaces. When routing tubing, select PA2-0006100 or PA2-0006025C tubes of compatible diameter and maintain at least a small bend radius to prevent kinking. Secure fittings and verify no ambient vibration that could loosen connections during operation.
Key specifications include medium as compressed air, operating temperature from 0 to 70 °C, operating pressure from -0.9 to 10 bar, port size G1/8, actuation Pedal/Pedal, valve operation 5/2, and a flow rate of 335 l/m. These figures support reliable actuation for pneumatic cylinders in mid- to high-speed automation tasks while maintaining manageable pressure drops and consistent response times.
Yes. The valve is described as supporting a wide range of operators and is suitable for multi-directional flow and dual supply configurations. This flexibility is advantageous for complex manifolds and systems where several actuators share a common air source, enabling simpler plumbing and reduced valve counts without compromising control fidelity.
The provided data does not list CE, IP, or SIL certifications. For regulatory compliance, consult the official Norgren datasheet or contact the supplier to confirm applicable certifications for your region and industry. Review the CAD/datasheet and project-spec documentation to ensure conformance with your machine safety standards and electrical-safety requirements.
The zinc body and nitrile seals provide robust corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance frequency in harsh environments. The high-flow design supports faster actuation and potentially lower energy consumption due to shorter cycle times. Its compact size and standard porting simplify replacements and spares management, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the valve’s lifecycle in production lines.
