Official Part Number 170683
GTIN Standard 4052568004729

Technical Overview

The Festo HE-D-MAXI (Part Number 170683) is a robust, manually actuated 3/2-way bistable shut-off valve designed for the safe pressurization and exhausting of pneumatic systems. Operating within a broad pressure range of 0 to 16 bar, it features a durable die-cast aluminum housing and NBR seals, ensuring optimal performance in harsh industrial environments. Capable of accommodating compressed air conforming to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] and inert gases, it functions reliably between -10 degrees Celsius and +60 degrees Celsius. With a piston gate valve design and a G3/8 pneumatic exhaust connection, this component facilitates efficient energy isolation and maintenance protocols in factory automation.

Key Features
