Parker B552BCNXXC Double Solenoid Valve 3/8 in 3-position

Product Description

The PARKER B552BCNXXC is a double solenoid, 3-position directional control valve designed for pneumatic and fluid control systems. In its unactuated state, flow passes normally open through ports 1 and 2. The valveless coil design means solenoid coils are not included and must be sourced separately, giving system designers flexibility in coil selection. The aluminum body keeps weight low while the Buna-N seal material provides reliable resistance to general-purpose media. Operating pressure ranges from 30 psi to 145 psi, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial and mechanical system applications.

This valve is intended for use in pneumatic directional control circuits where a 3-position, spring-centered or detented configuration is required at a 3/8 inch port size. Typical installation scenarios include automated machinery, actuator control panels, and process control systems serviced by industrial maintenance technicians and fluid power specialists. The valveless coil configuration suits applications where specific coil voltages or termination styles must be matched to an existing electrical system.

Key Features

• 3-position, double solenoid configuration with normally open flow through ports 1 and 2 when unactuated
• Valveless coil design allows independent solenoid coil selection to match system voltage requirements
• 3/8 inch port size accommodates common pneumatic line sizes
• Aluminum body construction reduces overall assembly weight
• Buna-N seal material compatible with a wide range of general-purpose pneumatic media
• Cv factor of 1.4 supports adequate flow capacity for standard actuator applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation directional control valve for pneumatic systems requiring a 3-position, double solenoid, valveless coil configuration with a 3/8 inch port. Solenoid coils are not included and must be ordered separately to complete the assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or industrial maintenance professional familiar with pneumatic directional control valves. De-energize the system and bleed all residual pressure from the circuit before removing or installing the valve. Verify that the separately sourced solenoid coils match the electrical supply voltage and termination requirements of the control circuit before energizing. Consult applicable NFPA and local codes for pneumatic system installation requirements.
