Festo CPE14-M1CH-5L-1/8 550237 5/2 Solenoid Pilot Valve G1/8 24V DC

Festo CPE14-M1CH-5L-1/8 is a 5/2-way, monostable (single‑solenoid, pneumatic spring return) pilot‑operated solenoid valve from the CPE compact series. With a construction width of just 14 mm and a standard nominal flow rate of 800 L/min, it delivers high flow capacity in a compact body. The valve body is die‑cast aluminium, all pneumatic ports are G1/8 female threads, and the internal pilot air supply simplifies installation. The electrical connection is a 4‑pin M8x1 socket, and when used with a suitable mating plug, the valve achieves IP65 / IP67 protection. The valve is designed for general industrial automation, OEM machinery, and pneumatic control systems requiring reliable directional control of compressed air.
