Parker B340000XXC 4-way Stacking Solenoid Valve 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER B340000XXC is a stacking solenoid valve designed for 4-way, 2-position pneumatic directional control applications. It uses a double air pilot actuator with pilot return, making it well-suited for automated systems that require externally piloted switching without direct electrical actuation of the main valve element. The valve carries a Cv rating of 0.750 and supports a maximum working pressure of 145 psi. Compatible voltage inputs span a wide range including 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 240 VDC, 120 VAC, and 24 VAC, allowing integration into varied control panel configurations. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This valve is built for use in stacking valve manifold assemblies found in industrial automation, pneumatic actuator control, and fluid power systems. The body-ported, 4-way design directs compressed air to drive double-acting cylinders or other pneumatic actuators. With 1/8 inch inlet and outlet port sizes and a body length of 2.86 inches, it fits into compact manifold builds. Its NEMA 4 enclosure rating makes it suitable for environments with occasional washdown or water exposure. Minimum operating temperature is 5 degrees F and maximum is 120 degrees F, placing it within typical indoor industrial service ranges.

Key Features

• Double air pilot actuation with pilot return for externally controlled directional switching
• 4-way, 2-position valve design for control of double-acting pneumatic actuators
• Wide multi-voltage compatibility: 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 240 VDC, 120 VAC, and 24 VAC
• Cv rating of 0.750 for consistent, predictable flow performance
• NEMA 4 rated enclosure for use in wet or washdown-exposed locations
• Compact 1/8 inch port sizing for integration into stacking manifold assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for stacking solenoid valve manifold systems requiring a 4-way, 2-position, double air pilot configuration with 1/8 inch body-ported connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize the pneumatic circuit and de-energize all electrical control circuits before removing or installing the valve. Verify pilot supply pressure is within the valve's specified working range prior to commissioning. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and local pneumatic system codes during service.
