Service Instructions
NOTE: See Figures for torque values.
1. After electrically de-energizing unit and relieving air
pressure, remove the electrical connector. Remove snap-
on type connector by squeezing the latches on the sides
to disengage the latch tangs, then pull it off the solenoid
(Item 1). If the snap-on connector is also held in place with
a holding screw, this screw must be removed before the
connector can be removed (see Figure 1). A cable plug
requires unscrewing its holding screw from the center of the
plug, then pulling it off of the solenoid (see Figure 2).
2. If several electrical connectors/cable plugs are removed,
identify their locations to determine correct reconnection.
3. Remove the two screws (Item 2) which secure the
solenoid assembly to the solenoid adapter, and remove the
solenoid assembly.
4. Inspect the surface of the solenoid adapter to be sure it is
free of debris, that the seal (Item 3) is not nicked or torn
(replace with new seal in kit if in doubt), and that the seal is
fully contained in its groove.
5. Place the new solenoid assembly onto the surface of
the solenoid adapter and fasten it in place with the two
appropriate mounting screws (Item 2). If solenoid adapter
contains brass inserts, use the machine screws. If solenoid
adapter does not contain inserts, use the self tapping
screws.

tangs and then push connector until the tangs engage.
If high levels of vibration exist, or a taut connection is
desired, connect the optional holding screw.
To install a cable plug, place the seal (Item 4) over the
solenoid terminal before attaching the cable plug to the
solenoid. Secure plug in place by inserting the holding
screw through the plug’s center hole, and then fastening it
into the solenoid.
7. Apply main pressure and check for leaks. If any are
present, do not operate the valve - repeat this process until
satisfactory.

air operated valves. Solenoid types may have the highest pressure
at either port #3 or #5, as specified.
Installation/Operating Instructions
!
CAUTION : Solenoid versions of this valve contain solid state
components that can be damaged by transient voltage spikes, over-
voltage or high temperature.To protect against premature solenoid
failure,please read and adhere to the following:
1. If this solenoid operated valve is used in a circuit with other inductive
loads. The solenoid should be electrically protected with a voltage
suppression device (e.g. transient voltage suppressor or varistor) that
has a minimum rating of 1.6 times the rated voltage of the solenoid
valve and sufficient capacity to dissipate the energy of other inductive
loads.
2. Operating voltage is 85-110% of rated voltage. These limits should not
be exceeded.
Valve should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service whenever
possible –repair service kits are available. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a
minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound
should be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe –never into the
female port. Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints –pieces have a
tendency to break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
Air applied to the valve must be filtered to realize maximum component life .
!
CAUTION: It is recommended that double solenoid and double
remote air pilot operated 2-Position valves be mounted so that the
axis of the valve spool is in the horizontal plane.
Life Expectancy - Normal multi-million cycle life expectancy of these valves
is based on the use of properly filtered and lubricated air at room
temperature. These valves are also designed to be operated under non-
lubricated conditions and will yield millions of maintenance free cycles.
Factory Pre-Lubrication - All valves are pre-lubricated at assembly with
Petroleum Base - Lithium Content grease.
In-Service Lubrication - In-service lubrication is not required; however, if
lubrication is to be used, ISO VG32 oil is recommended.This oil is specially
formulated to provide peak performance and maximum service life from all
air operated equipment. Alternative compatible lubricants should be of a
paraffin based mineral oil having 150 to 200 SSU viscosity @ 100°F and
an aniline point greater than 200°F. (Mobil DTE24 and Sun Company Sunvis
932 are good examples).
!
CAUTION: Do not use oils that are synthetic, reconstituted, have
an alcohol content or a detergent additive.
Introduction
Follow these instructions when the assembled valve(s) are installed, and for
proper operation. Manifold base installations are described in instruction sheet
V-413DP; subbase installations are described in V-414CP.

Manual Override
A manual override (if supplied) is located on the body of the solenoid pilot. A
non-locking override is blue and must be twisted approximately 45°in either
direction (and held at that position) in order to actuate the solenoid pilot.When
released, the solenoid pilot will de-actuate. A flush type override requires use of
a small screwdriver engaged in a slot on the end of the override button; an
extended override can be turned by finger. Locking overrides are yellow and
must be twisted approximately 90°in either direction in order to actuate the
solenoid pilot.They must be returned with a reverse twist to de-actuate. These
are also either flush or extended types and operate as described above.
Pilot Pressure Supply
This valve requires a source of pressure for shifting - a pilot supply. The sixth
character in the model number identifies this supply when the valve was
assembled at the factory. If changes have occurred in the field, the character
will no longer represent that pilot arrangement. If a new valve is ordered with
the same model number as the old one, perform an examination at the time of
replacement and move the plugs (if necessary) so that the new valve has them
in the same locations as the old one (described in steps 1-3 following).
Conversion in the field from an internal pilot supply to an external type, or vice
versa, is possible. However, conversion from a single pressure valve to a dual
pressure type is not possible in the field - special parts are required.(However,
dual pressure valves can be converted back to single pressure in the field.) All
of these conversions are performed by relocating small plugs as follows:
1. The bottom surface of the sandwich block has several holes which receive
the small plugs.This is accessed by loosening the three main body mounting
screws (item A) with a 3 mm hex wrench and removing the valve from its
base. These holes have identification alongside as shown in the figure and
plugs must be located in the holes as described in Table 1. (See the two
identification methods located in Table 1.)
2. To remove a plug, insert a narrow tool under the side of the nib and pry it
upward slightly. Then, grasp the projecting nib (long nose pliers may help)
and pull it out.Examine the o-ring to be sure it is not torn or nicked, and that
it has a coating of grease. Install the plug into the appropriate hole (o-ring
end enters first) by pushing it in place until it comes to a stop and the nib is
flush with the surface of the sandwich block.
3. Replace the valve on its base, making certain first that the interface gasket
(item B) is in place in its grooves in the sandwich block.Engage the electrical
plug carefully during this process.Tighten the 3 main body mounting screws
from 2.5 to 2.9 Nm (22 to 26 in-lbs).
4. Apply main pressure and check for leaks. If any are present, do not operate
the valve - repeat the reassembly process until satisfactory.

Servicing Valve Body
R efer to figures to aid with disassembly and reassembly. Servicing a
3-position valve is very similar to servicing a 2-position valve.
1. Using a clean, lint free cloth, clean the valve unit prior to servicing.
2. Using a 2mm hex wrench for button head or 3mm hex wrench for
socket head, back out the three captive mounting screws (item #21)
until the valve unit can be removed from the base.
! CAUTION: Do not remove the valve body from the sandwich block.
Doing so could risk possible seal contamination. There are no
parts between the valve body and sandwich block that require
servicing.
3. On solenoid valves, loosen the two captive mounting screws
(item #11) and then remove the solenoid coil (item #9) and sandwich
adapter (item #13) as a unit from the operator adapter (item #15).
4. To remove the operator adapter from the valve body, remove its two
mounting screws (item #14).You will now be able to service the piston’s
seal, as well as the gasket which is located between the operator
adapter and the valve body.
5. On air operated and single solenoid valves, loosen the two screws
(item #25) until their end cap(s) can be removed from the valve body
(item #22).
6. Gently press on one end of the spool assembly until it slides out of its
bore, taking care not to scratch bore. Using a clean, lint free cloth,
clean the body bore and all sealing surfaces for gaskets prior to their
installation.
NOTE: If more aggressive cleaning is required, use mineral spirits or
equivalent solvent and dry thoroughly.
Inspect bore for nicks, scratches, or surface imperfections. If present,
reduced service life is probable and future replacement should be
planned.

Introduction
Follow these instructions when installing, operating, or servicing the product.
!
CAUTION: Solenoid versions of this valve contain solid state
components that can be damaged by transient voltage spikes,
over-voltage or high temperature. To protect against premature
solenoid failure, please read and adhere to the following:
1. If this solenoid operated valve is used in a circuit with other inductive
loads. The solenoid should be electrically protected with a voltage
suppression device (e.g. transient voltage suppressor or varistor)
that has a minimum rating of 1.6 times the rated voltage of the
solenoid valve and sufficient capacity to dissipate the energy of
other inductive loads.
2. Operating voltage is 85-110% of rated voltage. These limits should
not be exceeded.
Application Limits
These products are intended for use in general purpose compressed air
systems only. Compliance with the rated pressure, temperature, and
voltage is necessary - see Installation & Operating Instructions (V-410DP) packed
with valve.

Servicing Solenoid Pilot
Refer to Figure 1 to aid with disassembly and reassembly. Servicing a
3-position valve is very similar to servicing a 2-position valve.
1. Using a clean, lint free cloth, clean the valve unit prior to servicing
solenoid.
2. Removal of valve from base is not necessary, but is recommended.
To do so, use a 2mm hex wrench or a 3mm hex wrench for socket
head to back out the three captive mounting screws (item #21) until
the valve unit can be removed from the base.
3. Loosen the two captive mounting screws (item #11) and then remove
the solenoid coil (item #9) and sandwich adapter (item #13) as a unit
from the operator adapter (item #15).
4. Back out screw (item #4) until the solenoid coil can be removed from
the sandwich adapter. This screw is located between the flat electrical
pins (item #5) of the solenoid coil; this screw will remain captive.
NOTE: Using a clean, lint free cloth, clean all sealing surfaces for gaskets
prior to their installation.
NOTE: Except for the gasket that is located between the solenoid coil
and sandwich adapter, apply a light coating of grease (supplied
with kits) to all gaskets.
5. Replace the gasket (item #10) which is located between the solenoid
coil and the sandwich adapter (using a new gasket from a service kit).

F3 Series Valves - Manifold Installation V-413DP
Assembly Procedures for Manifolds
Manifolds may be assembled to one another either before or after
assembling valves to manifolds.If inlet or exhaust common galleries
are to be isolated from neighboring manifolds, follow instructions
given in the Manifold Isolation Procedures section before
proceeding with this section. If air pilot valves are part of the
manifold assembly, be sure to isolate their pilot signals so that
they do not supply undesirable pressure to other valves in the
manifold assembly.
1. Line up manifolds (Items #3, 7, 9) in order of assembly while
viewing cylinder ports #2 and #4. Place the right end plate
(Item #1) at the right end of the bank. See Figure 2.
2. Each manifold should be accompanied with three tie rods.Screw
together all the tie rods into three sets of equal length — each
set will number the same as the number of manifolds to be
stacked.
3. Thread each set of tie rods into the right end plate then place
the end so that the tie rods are pointing up away from the
assembly surface.
4. Apply a light coating of grease to molded gasket (Item #2) and
place it in groove of right end plate (Item #1).
5. Assemble first manifold in sequence to right end plate allowing
the three tie rod sets to pass through the manifold holes.
6. In like manner, install another greased gasket and place the
second manifold in sequence over the first. Assemble remaining
manifolds by repeating steps 4 and 5.
7. Assemble the last gasket to the last manifold, then mount the
left end plate (Item #10) with three socket head cap screws
with flat & lock washers (Items #11). Start the screws into the
last tie rods but do not tighten the screws at this stage.
! CAUTION: If the socket head cap screws do not engage
the last tie rod, it is because the stack of uncompressed
gaskets causes the manifolds and gaskets to be longer
than the tie rod sets. It will be necessary to lengthen the
tie rod sets by backing away each tie rod from its adjacent
tie rod about one or two turns. This stack up length
problem is likely to occur at 6 or 7 manifold bases and
worsens with each additional manifold.
8. Place the entire assembly on a flat surface — Square up each
manifold (by lightly tapping on the manifold) and each of the
end plates with the flat surface.Then tighten each screw in an
alternating tightening pattern so that each screw tightens nearly
equally. Final torque should be 4.5 to 5.1 Nm (40 to 45 in.lb.)
9. If valves (Item #15) or top blanking plate (Item #18) were not
attached to their respective manifolds, mount them per Valve
Mounting Procedures or Station Blanking Plate Procedures.
10. Apply pressure and check for leaks and proper function.If any
leaks are present, do not operate the valves - repeat the
assembly process until satisfactory performance has been
obtained.
Manifold Isolation Procedures
Inlet & exhaust galleries, and pilot supply/signal galleries may be
isolated from those in adjacent manifolds through the use of isolation
plugs. Note: air piloted valves, whether single or double, will need
to be isolated at 14 and/or 12 galleries to prevent improper air
pressure signals reaching adjacent valves. Figure 1 schematically
indicates where to place plugs (shown as “X” marks) for typical air
piloted valves. Figure 2 pictorially indicates assembly locations of
main gallery plugs (Item #8), which are assembled on the left side
of the base.The pilot gallery plugs (Item #5), are assembled on the
right side of the base.
The following describes how to install these plugs:
1. Determine which gallery is to be isolated between two manifolds.
2. As displayed in Figure 2, use the large plugs (Item #8) from the
service kits to isolate manifolds from the main gallery(s). The
middle plug is used to isolate port #1 (inlet air supply), the left
plug is used to isolate port #5 and the right plug is used to
isolate port #3.
3. Apply a light coating of grease to isolation plug and insert it
into counterbore.
4. Apply a light coating of grease to gasket (Item #2) and assemble
in manifold groove.
5. Assemble plugged manifold into manifold bank in its
proper position.
6. Apply main pressure and check for leaks. If any are present,
do not operate the valve - repeat the reassembly process until
satisfactory.
Port Connections
(Below is a brief summary of typical port connections.SeeTechnical
Data section of the F3 catalog for more details.)
1. Connect an inlet air supply to manifold inlet gallery by one of
the following methods:
a. All valves being supplied with a common pressure:
Connect air supply to port marked #1 on either end of
manifold package and plug port on other end marked #1 (or
connect air supply to both ends for applications requiring a
larger volume of air).
b. Two groups of valves - each requiring a different single
pressure supply:
Isolate valves into two groups using steps outlined in the
Manifold Isolation Procedures section. Connect
appropriate air supply to each end of manifold package at
port #1.
2. For dual pressure applications, connect air supply to ports #3
and #5.
3. Pipe exhaust at ports #3 and #5 for single air supply. For dual
pressure applications, connect to port #1. If mufflers are being
used, connect mufflers to the same ports.
increase pressure levels include supply air at both end plates (Items
#1 & 10), at intermediate inlets and sequencing the valve operation
to maximize time between different valve shifts.
! WARNING: Air exhausting from one valve into the exhaust
gallery of the manifold assembly may momentarily pressurize
other valve circuits open to the same gallery. Design the circuit
such that there is no hazard or consequence of damage from
this action.
Valve Mounting Procedures
If valve and manifold are purchased separately, use the following
procedure to mount valve to manifold:
1. Using a clean, lint free cloth, clean top surface of manifold and
bottom surface of valve body of dirt and dust.
2. Check to insure that gasket (not shown) is properly seated in
gasket track on sandwich block.
3. Place valve assembly (Item #15) on top of manifold (Items #3,
7, 9). On electrically operated valves, line up plug with socket
in manifold and gently press down on valve to seat plug properly.
4. Then line up the mounting holes and insert valve mounting
screws (Item #16). Tighten using a 3 mm hex wrench; torque
from 2.5 to 2.9 N•m (22 to 26 in-lbs) using progressive steps
with a criss-cross pattern.
5. Apply main pressure and check for leaks. If any are present,
do not operate the valve - repeat the reassembly process until
satisfactory.
