start valve HEE-3/8-D-MIDI-110

The Festo 172942 is a piloted industrial component featuring a piston slide design structure with electrical actuation and a soft sealing principle. This 3/2 closed, monostable valve operates at a working pressure of 2.5 to 16 bar, delivering a standard nominal flow rate of 3,200 l/min with a 100% duty cycle and a mechanical spring reset. Designed for compressed air and inert gases within a medium temperature range of -10 to 60 °C, the unit includes a detenting manual override and a 110 V AC coil drawing 5 VA pick-up power.

Why no listed price?

Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.

Identification and RFQ Guidance

Confirm the exact configuration

Use the manufacturer part number and model code—not appearance alone. Connection, size, material, voltage, pressure, seal, and control options can differ within the same product family.

What to include in your RFQ

Provide quantity, delivery country and ZIP/postal code, required condition, target date, and photographs of the existing nameplate when available.
