7.1.2 Creating Pressure Zones
In the case of pressure zone separation, connect the compressed air supply to
both ends of the valve manifold.
For pressure zone separation, the plug screw can be left in duct (1) of the valve.
Plug screws for duct (1) can also be ordered as accessories (VAME-P18-BP-
G18-P5) èwww.festo.com/catalogue.
1. Screw the plug screw into the duct (1) of the selected valve è Fig.5. Screw in
the plug screw until it is flush with the surrounding surface.

7.3 Mechanical Installation
1. Make sure there is sufficient space for the connecting cable and tubing con-
nections.
Ä
This will prevent kinks from forming in the connecting cables and the
tubing.
2. Place the valve as close to the consumer as possible.
Ä
This leads to improved control precision and shorter response times.
8 Installation
8.1 Pneumatic Installation
Valves for Standard Operation (Overpressure)
1. Attach the tubing to the connections:
– Compressed air (1)
– Working air (2)
2. Fit a silencer at the exhaust air connection (3) or provide for ducted exhaust
air.
Valves for Vacuum Operation and Combined Vacuum / Overpressure Operation
(VPPI -...- 1V... H -...)
1. Attach the tubing to the connections:
– Vacuum (3)
– Working air (2)
2. Connect a compressed air supply to port (1) or mount a silencer to protect the
valve from coarse dirt particles.
