Operation
All functions of W-Series mix proof valves are pneumatically con-
trolled using a 75 min. to 100 max. psi (5.2 to 6.9 bar) clean air
supply.
The valve contains a large and small spring in the valve actuator.
The springs hold the valve seats in the closed position.
Large Spring
• Located in top air chamber of cylinder.
• Holds valve in the closed position.
Small Spring
• Located in the extended hub of the upper piston.
• When the valve is open, the spring acts on the upper seat
stem to hold the upper and lower plugs together.

Up to three air supplies controlled by solenoid valves supply air to
the valve actuator (Figure 9).

ON = Solenoid energized (OPEN). LED is lit.
OFF = Solenoid de-energized (CLOSED). LED is off.
Solenoids are normally closed.
Air connections are 1/8" NPT x 1/4" push-to-connect poly tube fit-
tings.
* Seat lifting is an option which requires (2) two additional air sup-
plies. Non-seat lifting valves (NSL) only have one air inlet (1).

trol module publications 95-03083 (2-piece) or 95-03077 (3-Piece
