Parker B5K1000XXC Stacking Solenoid Valve 3-way

Product Description

The PARKER B5K1000XXC is a stacking solenoid valve configured as a 3-way, 2-position, single air pilot with air return actuation. It is designed for pneumatic circuit control in industrial and automation systems where modular, stackable valve assemblies are required. The valve carries a Cv rating of 1.400 and supports multiple voltage options including 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 240 VDC, 120 VAC, and 24 VAC, making it adaptable across a wide range of control panel configurations. Licensed pneumatic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers for this component.

This valve is suited for use in manufacturing, process automation, and fluid power control applications where compact, stacked manifold assemblies are preferred. The body-ported 3-way design allows for straightforward integration into existing pneumatic manifold banks. It operates reliably within a working temperature range of 5 degrees F to 120 degrees F and handles pressures up to 145 psi, making it appropriate for general industrial compressed air service.

Key Features

• 3-way, 2-position body-ported valve design for pneumatic circuit switching
• Single air pilot actuation with air return for fail-safe operation
• Cv rating of 1.400 for consistent, predictable flow performance
• Compatible with 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 240 VDC, 120 VAC, and 24 VAC control voltages
• NEMA 4 enclosure rating for protection against water ingress and dust
• Stackable design supports modular manifold assembly configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for stacking pneumatic manifold valve systems requiring a 3-way, 2-position, single air pilot configuration with 1/4 inch inlet and outlet porting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic systems technician or industrial maintenance professional. De-energize all electrical control circuits and depressurize the pneumatic system completely before removing or installing this valve. Verify that the supply voltage matches one of the rated control voltages before energizing. Refer to applicable NFPA and local codes governing pneumatic and electrical control systems during installation.
