Description
1/8" & 1/4" Brass Solenoid Valve Manifold – ADF68
The CS Fluid Power ADF68 is a compact multi-station brass solenoid valve manifold designed for independent control of air, water, gas, vacuum and compatible fluids.
Each station uses a 2/2 way direct acting solenoid valve, allowing normally closed and normally open valves to be configured on the same manifold to suit the application.
Available with 1/8" or 1/4" BSP ports, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm orifices and a wide choice of seal materials, the ADF68 provides a flexible industrial valve island for automation, process control, test equipment and fluid or gas distribution systems.
The manifold is supplied fully assembled with mounting brackets, ready for installation.
Valve Function & Operation
Function: 2/2 way
Operation: Direct acting
Standard Function: Normally Closed
Option: Normally Open
Configuration: NC and NO valves can be mixed
Minimum Differential Pressure: 0 bar
The direct acting design means the valves do not require a minimum pressure differential, making the ADF68 particularly useful for low-pressure and vacuum applications.
Ports & Manifold
Port Sizes: 1/8" or 1/4" BSP
Optional Thread: NPT
Valve Body: Brass
Manifold: Brass
Internal Parts: Stainless steel
Mounting Position: Any position
The complete assembly is supplied with mounting brackets for straightforward machine, panel or equipment installation.
Orifice, Flow & Pressure
Three orifice sizes are available:
3mm Orifice
Kv: 3.7
DC Pressure: 0–7 bar
AC Pressure: 0–10 bar
4mm Orifice
Kv: 8.3
DC Pressure: 0–4.9 bar
AC Pressure: 0–7 bar
5mm Orifice
Kv: 9.2
DC Pressure: 0–3.5 bar (1/8")
DC Pressure: 0–3.6 bar (1/4")
AC Pressure: 0–5 bar
