Festo CPE18 5/3E valve

The Festo CPE18-M1H-5/3E-1/4 is a 5/3-way air solenoid valve with mid-position exhaust function. It is supplied new in a single-unit box under part number 170249. The valve body features a red finish and uses G 1/4 pneumatic connections. It suits pneumatic control systems that require a centred exhaust state when de-energised.

Installers needing mid-position exhaust

This valve suits automation engineers and maintenance teams who need a 5/3 configuration with exhaust centre position for safe cylinder depressurisation. It is not for applications requiring a closed centre or pressurised centre function. Buyers who need a different port thread size or a 5/2-way valve should select another model.

5/3-way mid-position exhaust

The defining specification is the 5/3-way mid-position exhaust spool design. This determines how the valve behaves when neither solenoid is energised, venting both cylinder ports to atmosphere. Confirm that your pneumatic circuit requires this exact function before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the CPE18-M1H-5/3E-1/4 produce during continuous operation?

The valve is a pneumatic component with no internal fan or motor, so it generates negligible heat and operates silently; only the airflow through the ports creates sound.

What pneumatic fittings and tubing must I already have to install the 1/4 port on this valve?

You need 1/4-inch BSP or NPT threaded fittings and compatible tubing rated for your system pressure to connect supply and exhaust ports.

Will the 170249 valve work with my existing 18-series manifold and 24 V DC pilot supply?

Yes, the CPE18-M1H-5/3E-1/4 is designed for the 18-series manifold pattern and standard 24 V DC pilot voltage, so it integrates directly with those components.
