Solenoid valve for pneumatic systems

The Festo MEH-5/2-5 is a 5/2-way solenoid valve designed to control compressed air in automated equipment. Its 17.8 mm width allows dense mounting on standard manifolds. The valve is supplied new in a single pack under part number 173128.

Automation engineers and panel builders

This valve suits engineers who need a compact, direct-acting 5/2 function for cylinder control or piloting larger valves. Buyers who require a different port configuration, a manual override style not listed here, or a non-solenoid actuation method should look at alternative models.

17.8 mm valve width

The 17.8 mm body width determines whether the valve fits the existing manifold or DIN-rail spacing in your panel. Verify this dimension against your mounting pattern before ordering.

Questions about this item

What width clearance does the 17.8 mm solenoid valve require for mounting?

The valve body is 17.8 mm wide, so allow at least that much lateral space plus room for pneumatic fittings and wiring on either side.

How is the MEH-5/2-5 installed and what step is often missed?

Mount the valve on a flat manifold or sub-base, connect supply and working ports, then wire the coil; the step often missed is applying the correct torque to the mounting screws to prevent air leaks.

Which wear items on this solenoid valve will need replacement over time?

Internal seals and the pilot-valve diaphragm are the primary wear parts; plan to inspect them during scheduled maintenance and replace if leakage or slow switching appears.
