Pneumatic Solenoid Valve - B3 Series

Brand: Parker - Fluid Control Division

Parker's B3 series valve is a general inline industrial valve, offered in a variety of sizes and configurations, robustly engineered to reduce friction and valve leakage while extending the life of your general industrial application. 

The valve can be installed as a single valve for point-of-use applications or mounted on aluminum bar manifolds for centralized applications. 

The B3 Series is a fully-featured valve that has multiple solenoid voltages incorporating standard or mobile rated coils. Remote pilot valves are also available. 

The B3 Series valve is a basic ⅛” ported valve. The bi-directional wear compensated spool performs well in temperature ranges from 5°F to 120°F and pressure ranges from Vacuum to 145 PSG. 

When in service, radial expansion of the spool seal occurs to maintain sealing contact with the valve bore. 

This sealing method reduces friction and produces a lower required minimum pilot pressure. 

As the seal wears, it maintains surface contact with the internal bore, which reduces valve leakage in high cyclic applications and extends valve life.
