Does the 3/2 Pneumatic Diverter Valve, Roller Lever Actuated, Series 70 require a specific mounting orientation for optimal performance?

3/2 Pneumatic Diverter Valve, Roller Lever Actuated, Series 70 does not require a specific mounting orientation for optimal performance. The product is designed for maximum installation flexibility and can be mounted in any position without affecting operation. Its robust construction — aluminum body, nickel‑plated aluminum slider, NBR seals, and plastic end cover — along with the 3/2 function and 1/8" size ensure reliable performance up to 10 bar and across the -10°C to +60°C temperature range regardless of mounting orientation.

Can the 3/2 Pneumatic Diverter Valve, Roller Lever Actuated, Series 70 be used with fluids other than air (e.g., inert gases or vacuum) without affecting performance?

3/2 Pneumatic Diverter Valve, Roller Lever Actuated, Series 70 Format — Yes, with limitations. The valve’s design and materials (aluminum body, nickel‑plated aluminum slider, NBR seals, plastic end cover) and its specified ratings (up to 10 bar, −10°C to +60°C) make it suitable for gases other than compressed air — for example inert gases (nitrogen, argon) — provided the gas is dry, clean and chemically compatible with NBR and aluminum. The valve can also operate in low‑pressure vacuum or evacuation applications, but performance depends on leak tightness of NBR seals and on how deep a vacuum is required; standard pneumatic diverter valves are not designed for high or ultra‑high vacuum and may leak or outgas. Key considerations before use with other fluids: - Chemical compatibility: NBR tolerates many hydrocarbons and inert gases but is attacked by some solvents, ketones and aggressive chemicals. - Leak rate: acceptable for pneumatic/low vacuum use but not for high vacuum systems. - Lubrication/contamination: ensure media are dry and oil‑free if contamination is a concern. - Pressure and temperature: stay within 0–10 bar and −10°C to +60°C. - Safety: inert gases are acceptable; flammable or corrosive gases may require different materials/certifications. For critical or nonstandard gases, strong vacuum, or aggressive/flammable media, consult manufacturer data or choose a valve specified for that service.
