Pneumatic valve VL-5/3G-3/8-B-EX

The Festo 536048 is a 40 mm wide pneumatic 5/3-way closed piston gate valve featuring a mechanical spring reset and soft sealing principle. It delivers a normal nominal flow rate of 2000 l/min through G3/8 pneumatic working ports across an operating pressure range of -0.09 MPa to 1 MPa (-0.9 bar to 10 bar) with an adjustable exhaust air function and a 12 mm nominal width. Certified for hazardous environments with CE and UKCA markings compliant with ATEX and UK EX directives, this component is rated for gas category II 2G (Ex h IIC T4 Gb) and dust category II 2D (Ex h IIIC T130°C Db) within an explosive ambient temperature range of -10°C to +60°C.

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.

Engineering context

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.
