MFH-3-1/2 Tiger Classic Solenoid Valve Festo 9857
The Festo MFH-3-1/2 (9857) is a heavy-duty, high-flow 3/2-way single solenoid valve from the highly dependable Tiger Classic family. Built for demanding industrial automation environments, this monostable valve is normally closed (NC) and features an internal pilot air design paired with a mechanical spring return. This configuration ensures the valve safely returns to its default closed state when electrical power is disconnected.
Constructed from rugged die-cast aluminum with a high-capacity plate seat design, it delivers an impressive nominal flow rate of up to 3,700 l/min through standard G1/2 female threaded ports. Its wide 52 mm frame profile handles heavy air volumes efficiently, making it perfect for driving larger pneumatic processes. It also includes a detenting manual override to assist operators with easy physical system setup, commissioning, and testing cycles.
