FAQ

What is the function of the third port on this 3/2-way valve?

The third port (port 3) is the exhaust port. When the valve is closed, shutting off the main air supply from port 1 to port 2, it connects the downstream system (port 2) to the exhaust (port 3), safely venting any trapped compressed air.

Can this valve be locked in the closed position?

Yes, the blue rotary knob on the HE-D-MIDI has an integrated locking facility. You can insert a padlock through the designated holes when the valve is in the off position to prevent unauthorized or accidental re-pressurization, a key safety feature for maintenance.

Is this valve suitable for vacuum applications?

According to the official Festo datasheet, this specific model is not designed for vacuum operation. It is intended for positive pressure applications ranging from 0 to 16 bar.
