Norgren 03040222 Mechanically Operated Valve 1/8 Inch Npt

Product Description

The NORGREN 03040222 is a mechanically operated directional control valve designed for pneumatic systems in industrial and automated equipment applications. It features a packed spool design with a roller actuator and spring return, providing reliable 2-position, 3-port directional control of compressed air flow. The valve carries a Cv rating of 0.34 and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 10 bar. The 1/8 inch NPT inlet makes it straightforward to integrate into standard pneumatic plumbing. Licensed pneumatic system technicians, automation engineers, and industrial maintenance professionals typically specify and install this valve.

This valve is suited for use in light to medium-duty pneumatic control circuits where mechanical actuation by cam, lever, or roller contact is required. Typical applications include machine guarding interlocks, end-of-travel sensing, and automated fixture control on production equipment. The roller actuator style allows the valve to be triggered by a moving machine component without direct electrical input. It is appropriate for both OEM assembly and field replacement on pneumatic control panels operating within the rated temperature and pressure range.

Key Features

• Packed spool design provides positive sealing and consistent directional control
• Roller actuator with spring return enables reliable mechanical triggering by cams or moving fixtures
• 1/8 inch NPT inlet threads into standard pneumatic fittings without adapters
• Cv rating of 0.34 supports controlled flow in compact pneumatic circuits
• 3-port, 2-position configuration covers standard normally-open or normally-closed switching arrangements
• Operating temperature range of 32 to 158 degrees F accommodates typical indoor industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation mechanically operated directional control valve for pneumatic systems using 1/8 inch NPT ported connections and operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic technician or industrial maintenance professional familiar with directional control valves and compressed air systems. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic circuit before removing or installing the valve. Ensure all NPT threaded connections are sealed with appropriate thread sealant rated for pneumatic use, and verify that the actuating cam or roller mechanism aligns correctly with the valve roller to prevent premature wear or missed actuation. Confirm system operating pressure does not exceed the 10 bar maximum rating prior to returning the circuit to service.
