The range is available configured from basic components or as a pre-assembled and tested valve island. With a captive fitting release system, quick release electrical connectors and single mechanical screw connection between manifolds, last minute system design changes are said to be implemented easily.
The ability to combine different sizes and flow rates on to the same valve bank is a key feature with three sizes capable of operating at three different flow ranges - 275, 510 or 1340Ni/mn, which can all be combined on to one valve bank.
Parker has also introduced an IP40 clip connector which offers space saving in comparison to a lockable connection, a dimensional saving of 20% (13mm) and a saving of more than 90% reduction in the electrical connection weight. These connectors are especially beneficial when employed in cabinets or other non-aggressive environments as the IP40 connection provides protection against unwanted water and dust.
