IMI Norgren 3/2 Soft Start Pneumatic Solenoid/Pilot-Operated Control Valve - Solenoid G 3/8 Excelon Plus Series

The P82F-3GT-PFN soft-start/dump control valve is engineered for pneumatic systems requiring smooth pressurisation and safe exhaust. As a 3/2 solenoid-pilot / spring-return valve from the Excelon Plus range, it features a G 3/8 port thread and supports operation within a 3 – 10 bar pressure range. Its durable aluminium body and NBR seals support reliable performance in industrial automation, machine safety, and control-panel environments.

How It Benefits Users

• Configured as 3/2 soft-start/dump for controlled pressurisation and exhaust.
• Port thread G 3/8 ensures compatibility with standard ISO G or PTF pneumatic fittings.
• Operates across 3 – 10 bar supply pressure for flexibility in industrial systems.
• High flow capacity (≈ 21 dm³/s at full inlet pressure) supports rapid system fill.
• Inline or modular installation on the Excelon Plus manifold supports scalable solutions.
• Aluminium body and high-quality seals for durability and industrial resilience.

Engineered for Controlled Startup and Safe Exhaust Operation

Designed for machine-safety and process control environments, the P82F-3GT-PFN delivers disciplined system start-up by gradually pressurising pneumatic circuits (soft-start) and enabling fast exhaust (dump) when required. The robust solenoid pilot actuator ensures prompt response, while the spring-return mechanism provides safe default positions in power-loss or fault conditions.

Versatile Uses of the IMI Norgren Soft Start Pneumatic Control Valve

• Controlled start-up of pneumatic actuators and systems in manufacturing automation.
• Fast dump (exhaust) functionality for emergency stops or safety shut-downs.
• Integration within modular manifold systems using the Excelon Plus platform.
• Air-supply control in safety circuits requiring performance level compliance.
• Retrofits and OEM installations in packaging, machine-tool, and process-control equipment.
