Festo CPE18-PRS-3/8-3 543840 Manifold Block for CPE18 Valves

Festo CPE18-PRS-3/8-3 is a fixed‑grid manifold block designed to supply compressed air to multiple CPE18 series pneumatic valves from a single source. Built for 3 valve positions, it streamlines pneumatic system design, cuts individual connections, and reduces potential leak points. Three G3/8 threaded connections replicate the CPE‑PRS modular concept that enables fast assembly without individual tubing. Wrought aluminium alloy construction supports corrosion resistance class CRC 2 (moderate corrosion stress) for long‑term reliability in industrial automation, packaging machinery, and assembly lines.
