Festo
8080978
Selector valve VHEF-E-B53C-N18
The Festo 8080978 is a 20 mm wide industrial component featuring a 5/3-way closed valve function, piston gate valve structural design, and direct manual actuation with a detenting manual override restricted to hand operation only. It delivers a normal nominal flow rate of 700 l/min through 1/8 NPT pneumatic working ports, operating within a pressure range of -0.095 MPa to 1 MPa with an adjustable exhaust air function and positive overlap lap. Certified for ATEX Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22 explosion prevention and protection, this unit utilizes a soft sealing principle, allows any mounting position, and supports compressed air operating media according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:-:-] with oil lubrication possible.
