3-Way Solenoid SERIES

4 For Oil-Free Instrument Air

1/4" ANPT NT8320

The NT Series, 3-way direct acting solenoid valve, is used

primarily as a Class 1E safety-related pilot operator on
larger control valves in nuclear power plants.
Qualification Report AQR 35115-3/AQR 100115

Features
• Elastomers (gaskets, o-rings, discs): resist high radiation,
high temperature degradation effects
• Designed for integration into digital controls
• DC valves have suppression diode
• Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC)*
• Field side connector supplied with up to 30 ft. leads,
with a temp rating of up to 392°F (200°C)*
• One piece solenoid/coil design for ease of maintenance
*See coil and connector order page
