ASCO 551 NAMUR solenoid Valves
ASCO 551 Series Exd Flameproof Valves are NAMUR style single/dual solenoid valves, which are pilot operated, have a brass body and 1/4 tapped.
The monostable spool valves are manufactured and certified for hazardous area use according to IEC 61508 Standard (2010 route 2H version) and are TÜV certified with integrity levels: SIL 2 for HFT = 0 / SIL 3 for HFT = 1.

features
- ASCO flameproof brass 551 NAMUR solenoid valves can be adapted for 3/2 NC or 5/2 functions to control both double and single-acting actuators
- The solenoid operated spool valves have threaded port connections and a ‘NAMUR’ interface
- In order to provide better environmental protection against the ingress of liquids, dusts and other foreign matter, all of the exhaust ports are connectable. This is particularly recommended for sensitive areas, such as clean rooms, and applications within the pharmaceutical and food processing sectors
- The Ex d flameproof solenoid valves can be externally piloted via an external air pilot supply, in order to convert the valve to zero minimum operation by flipping a gasket
- The solenoid valves can be mounted in any position without affecting operation
- Ex mb/mD (prefix “PV”) solenoid can be supplied with various lengths of cable
- Other pipe threads are available on request
