Parker B512BCNXXC Solenoid Valve 3/8 Inch Npt

Product Description

The PARKER B512BCNXXC is a 3/8-inch NPT solenoid valve designed for fluid and pneumatic control applications in industrial and commercial systems. It operates in a normally open state through ports 1 and 2, meaning flow passes freely until the solenoid coil is energized. The valve body is constructed from aluminum with a Buna-N seal, supporting a working pressure range of 20 to 145 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 120 degrees F. A coil is not included with this valve body. The Cv factor of 1.4 makes it suitable for moderate-flow control circuits where precise on/off actuation is required.

This valve is suited for use in fluid power, pneumatic, and light hydraulic control systems found in commercial HVAC equipment, refrigeration skids, industrial machinery, and process control panels. The normally open configuration is common in fail-safe applications where flow must be maintained during a power loss condition. Licensed mechanics and fluid power technicians typically install this valve as part of a larger control assembly or manifold system.

Key Features

• Normally open through ports 1 and 2 for fail-safe flow retention on power loss
• 3/8-inch NPT port size for standard pipe thread connections
• Aluminum body construction for lightweight durability
• Buna-N seal material compatible with a broad range of hydraulic and pneumatic media
• Working pressure range of 20 to 145 psi
• Cv factor of 1.4 for moderate-flow circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed as a solenoid valve body for use in fluid power and pneumatic control systems requiring a 3/8-inch NPT normally open valve. Solenoid coils are sold separately and are not included with this valve body.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or licensed mechanic familiar with pneumatic and hydraulic control systems. Depressurize the system completely and de-energize all control circuits before removing or installing the valve. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the media being controlled and torque fittings in accordance with the pipe size and fitting manufacturer specifications. Verify coil compatibility and voltage requirements before energizing the assembly.
