1/2˝, 3/4˝ and 1˝ Sizes
Soft Seal Type
Vacuum to 250 PSI
(Subject to Pressure Limitations on Certain Models)
Threaded Body or Subplate Mounted Models
For compressed air or inert gases at pressures from vacuum to 250 PSI, subject to limitations described on the next page for certain models. These are spool-type 4-way valves for operation of double acting cylinders and reversible air motors. The valve will stand full pressure on any port, so it may be used as a 5-way valve, or it may be used for 2-way or 3-way service by plugging unused ports. O-ring seals between all ports give leak-tight operation.
The 3/4˝ and 1˝ valves are assembled in a large body. They have identical size and flow, the only difference being in connection thread size. The 1/2˝ valves are assembled in a smaller body. Photos on the next page show 1/2˝ valves. Appearance of the larger valves is similar. Although pipe thread valves are shown in the model chart, all listed models are available from stock with port holes through the base for subplate mounting. To order subplate valves see instructions at head of chart.
Three-position models are normally assembled with closed center spools, but are also furnished with float center or regenerative type spools if specified on order. For more information on the entire line of standard AAA valves contact your local Womack sales office and ask for a AAA Products International catalog or visit the AAA Products International web site at www.aaaproducts.com.
Valve bodies and end caps are cast aluminum alloy; spools are machined from aluminum bar stock and processed for a glass-hard surface finish. Springs are stainless or rust-proofed carbon steel. O-rings are buna-N rubber.

SO4
SOLENOID VALVES. Pilot-operated solenoid type. For pressure from 160 PSI to 50 PSI on spring models and down to 25 PSI on no spring models. If operated on pressure above or below this or on vacuum, valve must be converted to external pilot operation.
All standard voltages, both AC and DC can be furnished. All coils may be used for continuous duty. They have a power requirement of 11 watts. Inrush current is 0.36 amps. holding current is 0.23 amps at 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Current at other voltages is in proportion. DC coils draw 9 watts at all voltages.
Pigtail leads on solenoids are standard; DIN connectors are also available.
Converting to external pilot operation: On double solenoid valves this procedure must be followed for each solenoid: Remove 4 screws holding solenoid assembly to main body. Leave gasket as is, and rotate entire assembly 90° or 180° and remount. The source of external pilot pressure, 50 to 160 PSI, must be connected to the pilot port on each solenoid.
