This pneumatic control valve from RS PRO is used to control the flow of air in pneumatic systems. Its 3/2 configuration means it has three ports and two switching positions. Valves of this kind are suitable for applications such as pressure release and vacuum systems.

The compact and robust valve is built with a lightweight, die-cast aluminium body and operated by an energy-efficient solenoid. It's suitable for in-line or manifold mounting and fits onto a standard thread size of G 1/4 in. The valve's soft-seal spool design enables it to handle airflows of up to 1,020 litres per minute.

The valve is also ATEX-approved for use in hazardous areas (explosive atmospheres). This kind of valve is commonly used to manage airflow in a variety of industrial settings, as well as pneumatic, automation and control applications. These include textile production, pneumatic presses and equipment used in the food and beverage industry.
