Norgren 03043222 Mechanically Operated Valve 1/8 Inch Npt

Product Description

The NORGREN 03043222 is a mechanically operated directional control valve designed for pneumatic systems requiring precise flow control through physical actuation. Built with a packed spool design and an antenna-style actuator, this 3-port, 2-position valve delivers a Cv rating of 0.340 and operates on a spring return mechanism that automatically resets the valve to its default position when the actuator is released. It handles a maximum working pressure of 10 bar and is rated for operating temperatures from 32 degrees F to 158 degrees F. This valve is typically installed by pneumatic systems technicians and industrial maintenance professionals in automation, fluid power, and process control applications.

This valve is suited for light industrial and automation environments where a mechanically triggered directional shift is needed. The antenna actuator allows the valve to be tripped by cams, levers, or moving machine components on automated equipment. The 1/8 inch NPT inlet connection integrates directly into standard pneumatic circuit manifolds or inline tubing assemblies. Its compact form and spring-return action make it a reliable choice for cycle-based machinery where the valve must return to a known state at the end of each actuation event.

Key Features

• Packed spool valve design for reliable directional control in pneumatic circuits
• Antenna actuator trips from cams or mechanical contacts on moving equipment
• Spring return action resets valve to default position upon actuator release
• 1/8 inch NPT inlet for direct integration into standard pneumatic plumbing
• Cv rating of 0.340 supports low-to-moderate flow pneumatic applications
• Black housing rated for operating temperatures from 32 degrees F to 158 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for pneumatic directional control circuits requiring a 3-port, 2-position mechanically operated valve with a 1/8 inch NPT connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize the pneumatic circuit fully before removing or installing any valve in the line. Verify thread compatibility and apply appropriate thread sealant to NPT connections without over-tightening. Confirm the antenna actuator alignment with the cam or trip mechanism before restoring system pressure.
