Parker B552BB553C Stacking Solenoid Valve 4-way 120V

Product Description

The PARKER B552BB553C is a stacking solenoid valve designed for directional control of pneumatic or hydraulic flow in industrial and commercial systems. This 4-way, 3-position valve uses a double solenoid actuator with solenoid return and delivers a Cv rating of 1.1 at 120 volts AC. The body-ported design allows for manifold stacking, enabling compact multi-valve assemblies. It handles a maximum working pressure of 145 psi and operates across a temperature range of 5 degrees F to 120 degrees F. Licensed industrial mechanics, pneumatic system technicians, and automation specialists are the primary installers of this component.

This valve is suited for industrial automation, pneumatic actuator control, and machine tool applications where a 3-position, double solenoid directional control valve is required. The 3/8 inch inlet and 3/8 inch outlet ports accommodate standard pneumatic line sizing commonly found in mid-range actuator circuits. Its NEMA 4 enclosure rating makes it appropriate for wash-down environments or locations exposed to splashing water. Applications include cylinder extension and retraction circuits, air-over-oil systems, and multi-axis motion control panels where stacking manifold configurations are preferred.

Key Features

• Double solenoid actuation with solenoid return for positive positioning in all three valve states
• 4-way, body-ported design supports manifold stacking for compact multi-valve installations
• 1.1 Cv rating provides reliable flow capacity for mid-range pneumatic actuator circuits
• NEMA 4 enclosure rating suitable for wash-down and moisture-exposed environments
• Maximum working pressure of 145 psi with a wide operating temperature range of 5 to 120 degrees F
• 3/8 inch inlet and outlet ports for standard pneumatic line connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style directional control valve for use in stacking manifold pneumatic systems requiring a 4-way, 3-position, double solenoid configuration with 3/8 inch body-ported connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial mechanic or pneumatic systems technician. De-energize all electrical circuits and relieve all system pressure before removing or installing this valve. Verify that the supply voltage matches the 120V AC coil rating before energizing. Manifold port alignment and proper torque on mounting fasteners are critical to preventing leaks in stacking configurations; follow the manifold manufacturer's assembly instructions.
