E8Z Series Direct Acting Solenoid Valves

VERSA is pleased to introduce the new E8Z Series, a compact direct-acting solenoid valve designed for applications where space constraints, dependable operation, and configuration flexibility are critical.

The E8Z Series expands on the proven performance of VERSA’s E Series platform and is available as individual valves or manifold-mounted assemblies. Individual valves feature 1/8” NPT and 1/4" NPT ports, while manifold configurations are offered in 2 to 10 stations with 1/4" NPT ports. This makes the E8Z Series a strong fit for panel-mounted systems and compact pneumatic designs.

Available in both 2-way and 3-way, normally closed configurations, the E8Z Series is direct-acting with spring return, allowing reliable operation without minimum pressure requirements. Valves can be mounted in any orientation and are compatible with air, inert gas, and natural gas applications.

Key performance features include:

  • Flow options up to 0.106 Cv
  • Pressure ratings up to 150 psi, depending on the orifice selection
  • Durable anodized aluminum bodies for both single valves and manifolds
  • 100% continuous-duty solenoids with Class F insulation
  • Wide range of DC and AC voltage options
  • Multiple electrical connection styles, including flying leads and 1/2" NPT conduit
  • cURus approvals, with general purpose and CSA for hazardous location coil options

Standard construction includes anodized aluminum valve bodies, with ingress protection ratings ranging from IP65 to IP67 based on coil and connection style. The E8Z Series is available with both general purpose and hazardous location solenoid coils to meet a wide range of application requirements.

The E8Z Series gives distributors a compact, flexible solution for customers looking to reduce system footprint without compromising performance, reliability, or the long-term durability expected from VERSA products.
