Brand: Festo

Solenoid valve MEBH-5/2-1/8-S-B-230AC

The Festo 173088 is a 5/2 monostable industrial component featuring electrical actuation, a piston slide design, and a mechanical spring reset with a 17.8 mm width and 18 mm grid dimension. This piloted valve operates across a working pressure range of -0.9 to 10 bar, delivers a standard nominal flow rate of 600 l/min through a 5 mm nominal size, and includes throttleable exhaust-air functionality with reversible flow direction. Built with a soft sealing principle and positive overlap, the unit provides IP65 protection, c UL us recognition, and CE compliance under the EU low voltage guideline for any assembly position.

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.
