STAINLESS STEEL 316 SERIES

Ordering Information for Stainless Steel 316 Series:

• Series: 316 identifies stainless steel 316 series.
• Operator "B": This is the secondary operator. It returns the spool to the start position.
• Body Style:
  • 1/8” body available in 4-Way only, but can be plugged to make 3-Way or 2-Way.
• Operator "A": This is the primary operator that moves the spool away from the start position.
• Specify Voltages: Include voltage specifications or any special conditions.

OPERATOR TYPES:

1. Blank end cap
2. Spring end cap
3. Air pilot
4. Lever detented parallel push-pull
5. Conduit connection locking manual override
6. Explosion-proof conduit connection, locking manual override, stainless steel

(Denotes standard voltages)

ENGINEERING & TECHNICAL DATA

• Material:
  316 series – Metal components are 316 stainless steel, excluding standard solenoid operator.

• Body Style:
  1/4 NPTF ported – 3-Way and 4-Way bodies.

• Configurations:
  Solenoid, air, and manual actuators. In-line configuration.

• Lubrication:
  All valves are pre-lubricated and will operate dry (with no additional lubrication). However, a lubricated system will greatly extend the service life of any valve.

• “Thin-Lip” Seal & Spool:

  • PTFE-loaded Viton seals provide millions of trouble-free cycles.
  • Minimal breakout friction.
  • Unique wiping action eliminates contaminant buildup in the bore.
  • Reduces spool hang-up due to compressor or oil varnishing.
  • Operates effectively in lubricated or non-lubricated systems.
