Want to tell air when to stop and when to go? Put this solenoid pilot valve from IMI Norgren in control. As it's pilot-actuated, it uses system pressure to open and close its ports, so you get reliable function with low power consumption. With an operating pressure range of -0.9 to 16 bar and a speedy flow rate of 4500L/min, you can trust it to keep pace with heavy-duty processes.

• Performs in demanding temperatures from -10°C to +50°C
• IP65 rating means it's dustproof and withstands low-pressure water jets, so is safe to use in contaminated conditions
• Aluminium body resists corrosion for long-lasting use
• Standard G1/2 port allows quick hookup into your existing setup
• Compact dimensions of 107 (W) x 235 (L) x 76mm (H) save space in busy arrangements

• Power generation
• Water treatment facilities
• Manufacturing sector
• Food and beverage production

Yes, to get going, this pilot-actuated valve needs a low minimum pressure of 3 bar. Direct-acting solenoid valves, on the other hand, don't need this minimum, as they're electrically actuated.
