Parker B532000XXC 4-way Stacking Solenoid Valve 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER B532000XXC is a stacking solenoid valve designed for directional control of compressed air in pneumatic systems. It operates as a 4-way, 2-position valve with a single air pilot actuator and air return, making it suitable for actuating double-acting or spring-return cylinders. The valve carries a Cv rating of 1.4 and accepts a wide range of control voltages including 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 240 VDC, 120 VAC, and 24 VAC. With a maximum working pressure of 145 psi and a body-ported design, it integrates cleanly into stacking valve manifold assemblies. Licensed pneumatic or industrial automation technicians typically install this valve in production, process, or motion-control applications.

This valve is suited for light to medium-duty industrial pneumatic circuits where directional control of actuators is required. The stacking body-ported design allows multiple valves to share a common manifold base, reducing plumbing complexity. Operating temperature range spans 5 degrees F to 120 degrees F, making it appropriate for indoor industrial environments and light manufacturing settings. The NEMA 4 rating provides protection against dust and water ingress, supporting use in wash-down-adjacent areas or moderately harsh shop environments.

Key Features

• 4-way, 2-position directional control with single air pilot actuation and air return
• Cv rating of 1.4 for consistent flow performance in pneumatic circuits
• Wide voltage compatibility: 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 240 VDC, 120 VAC, and 24 VAC
• Maximum working pressure of 145 psi (10 bar)
• NEMA 4 rated enclosure for dust and moisture resistance
• Stacking body-ported design for manifold integration and simplified plumbing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style directional control valve for Parker stacking solenoid valve manifold systems using 3/8 inch inlet and outlet ported bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or industrial automation technician familiar with directional control valve manifolds. Depressurize the pneumatic system and de-energize all control circuits before removing or installing any valve in a stacking manifold assembly. Verify control voltage matches the coil rating before energizing. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and any relevant plant-specific compressed air safety standards during service.
