The Type 3351 Pneumatic Control Valve consists of an on-off

valve and a pneumatic actuator. Optionally, the valve can be
equipped with a bellows seal or extension bonnet.

Valve body made of:

• Cast iron
• Spheroidal graphite iron
• Cast steel
• Cast stainless steel
• Valve plug with metal and soft sealing together
• Leakage rate Class VI in accordance with DIN EN 1349,
Class VI in accordance with ANSI B16-104.
Attachment of solenoid valves and limit switches according to
IEC 60534-6 and NAMUR recommendation. For details, see
Information Sheet T 8350 EN.

Principle of operation
Depending on the type of valve seat and the arrangement of the
valve plug, the control valve features two different fail-safe ac-
tions which are used when the pressure acting on the dia-
phragm is reduced or when the control signal fails:
Fail Close action
The valve is closed upon supply air failure.
Fail Open action
The valve is opened upon supply air failure.

Direction of flow
The direction of the medium flow in the valve depends on the
process medium and the selected fail-safe action.
For valves with Fail Close action for applications with gases and
vapors, the direction of flow in the closing direction (A → B) ap-
plies, except for the DN 100 version for which the direction of
flow in the opening direction (B → A) is prescribed.
For liquids, the medium must flow in the opening direction A B
(B → A).
For valves with Fail Open action, the medium flows in the
opening direction (A → B) regardless of the medium type.
Using the optional handwheel, valves with Fail Close action can Fail Open Fail Close
be opened in case of a supply air failure, and valves with Fail
Open action can be closed.
