Connection Block for Pneumatic Valves

The Festo CPE18-PRS-3/8-10-NPT 550096 is a manifold rail designed to mount up to 10 valve positions with a maximum of two pressure zones. It suits engineers building or maintaining pneumatic control systems that require a compact, modular air-distribution platform. The block accepts 3/8 NPT connections at ports 1, 3 and 5 and can be mounted in any orientation using through-holes.

Operating Limits of the Manifold

Working pressure ranges from -0.896 bar to 9.997 bar, while both medium and ambient temperatures must stay between -5 °C and 50 °C. Corrosion resistance is rated at class 2 for moderate stress environments. Valve mounting torque must not exceed 2.034 Nm to avoid damaging the wrought aluminum alloy rail.

Ten-Position Capacity Decides Fit

The decisive specification is the maximum of 10 valve positions; systems needing more stations cannot use this block. It is not for applications requiring more than two separate pressure zones or connections other than 3/8 NPT. Buyers needing higher valve counts or different port threads must select an alternative manifold.

Questions about this item

How many valve positions does the CPE18-PRS-3/8-10-NPT connection block support?

The manifold block accommodates up to 10 valve positions and a maximum of 2 pressure zones, allowing flexible pneumatic circuit design within a single unit.

What does the operating pressure range of -0.896 bar to 9.997 bar mean for daily use?

It handles vacuum down to -0.896 bar and positive pressure up to 9.997 bar at medium and ambient temperatures between -5 °C and 50 °C, covering most industrial pneumatic applications.

Which thread standard do the 3/8 inch ports use and what does that limit?

All three pneumatic connections (1, 3 and 5) are 3/8 NPT, so fittings must match NPT threads; the block mounts via through-holes and accepts valves with internal threads torqued to 2.034 Nm.
