IF
YOU KNOW THE SERIES YOU REQURE, consult
the table of contents to find the series you have selected. The
section is laid out so that the most commonly used valves are illustrated
and all the options are displayed in tables.
|
|
IF
YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SERIES YOU REQUIRE,
first decide
whether you need a 2, 3 or 4-way valve (see Note 1 at the foot of
this page); next decide the flow and port size required. Then consult
the table of contents. |
| |
In
either case, the checklist below will help you determine the exact
model code you require. For further information, please
consult the Precautions
section, or call 847-364-7455. |

Note:
A MAC 2 way is a 3 Way with one port plugged.
Normally
Closed or Normally Open?
Pressure
range: 25 to 150 psi or below 25 psi? (below 25 psi on external
pilot connection is required for pilot operated valves) (See Note
2 below)
Single
operator, spring return? (See Note 3 below)
|
|
Single
operator, spring return or double opeator?
Pressurerange:
25 to 150 psi (single operator)? (See Note 2) 10 to 150 psi (double
operator)? (See Note 4)(below these minimum an external pilot connection
is required for pilot operated valves)
2
position or 3 positions? If 3 position: which center position? open______closed______or
pressure center______?______

Solenoid,
Remote air or Mechanical? If
remote air or mechanical, go to step 3.
If
solenoid, AC or DC? If DC, what voltage and power (watts)?
Electrical
connections? (See Note 5 below)
|
|
Port
size? (NPTF)
Valve
mounting: inline? stacking? manifold base? circuit bar? (See
Note 5)
Integral
pressure regulators? (See Note 5)
Integral
flow controls? (See Note 5)

All
MAC 4 Ways can be used as 3 Ways or 2 Ways by simply plugging the
appropriate port or ports; however in certain applications where
considerations of size, speed, flow or cost are important, it may
be preferable to select a 3 Way valve for a 3 Way application.
|
| |
 |
| |
Minimum
pressure for the internally piloted 55 series valves is 30 psi.
Maximum pressure for the 35 and 45 series is 120 psi.
|
| |
 |
| |
MAC
3 Ways are all single operated spring return. For double operated
3 Ways, use a 4 way and plug the appropriate cylinder port.
|
| |
 |
| |
For
3 position valves, minimum operating pressure is 25 psi.
