This is an unbalanced poppet logic element valve with an integral shuttle, allowing the higher pressure from either port 1 or port 2 to serve as a pilot source. When a pilot 2-way valve is installed in the 08W-2 or 8A-2 cavity in the closed position, the logic element remains in the closed position. When the pilot valve is open, the logic element will open if there is a sufficient combination of pressures at port 1 and port 2 to overcome the spring force. To maintain closure, the combined force (force generated at port 3 plus spring force) must exceed the forces at port 1 and port 2.

  • All ports can withstand up to 350 bar (5000 psi).
  • Area ratio of A3 to A1 is 1.8:1.
  • Area ratio of A3 to A2 is 2.25:1.
  • Please take note of if the selection Y=C, the response speed of spring return is slower.
  • For the solenoid operated with Z=8W, please refer to EP-08W-2A-51-Z-04 or EP-08W-2A-52-Z-04.
  • Working parts are heat-treated and high-precision ground to increase hardness for long life.
  • A variety of seal kit materials for different applications, see seals information under Technical Reference.
  • Winner's cartridges pressure rating tested to the standard of the NFPA specification T2.6.1 and the fatigue rating's assurance and verification level is “90/90”.
  • WINNERcoat® Zinc-Nickel Plating is salt spray tested in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9227 for up to 1000 hours.
  • Winner guarantees that all products performance a 100% functional test before shipment.
