Solenoid valve VUVG-L18-P53C-T-G14-1H2L-F1A

The Festo 8172838 is an 18 mm electrical industrial component featuring a 5/3-way closed valve function and a piston gate valve structural design with a soft sealing principle. It delivers a normal nominal flow rate of 1200 l/min through G1/4 pneumatic working ports, operating at 24V DC within an operating pressure range of 0.3 MPa to 0.8 MPa (3 bar to 8 bar). This piloted control valve includes internal pilot air supply, adjustable exhaust air function, mechanical spring reset, positive overlap lap, and IP40 protection, along with detenting, non-detenting, and covered manual override options supporting any mounting position. Certified with RCM compliance and c UL us recognition (OL) issued by UL MH19482, this unit is ready for specification.

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.
