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 insulating section.
Valve body made of:
•• Cast iron
•• Spheroidal graphite iron
•• Cast steel
•• Cast stainless steel

Special features
•• Soft-seated valve plug
•• Leakage class VI according to IEC 60534‑4 or class VI
according to ANSI/FCI 70-2
•• Attachment of solenoid valves and limit switches according
to IEC 60534-6 and NAMUR recommendation. Refer to In-
formation Sheet u T 8350 for more details.

Principle of operation
Depending on the type of valve seat and the arrangement of
the valve plug, the valve has two different fail-safe actions
which are used when the pressure acting on the diaphragm is
reduced or when the control signal fails:
–– Fail-close action: the valve is closed upon supply air fail-
ure.
–– Fail-open action: the valve is opened upon supply air fail-
ure.

Direction of flow
The direction of the medium flow in the valve depends on the
process medium and the selected fail-safe action.
For fail-close valves which are used to control gases and va-
pors, the medium must flow in the closing direction (A  B),
except for the DN 100 version, in which the medium must
flow into the plug in the opening direction (B  A).
For control applications with liquids, the medium must flow
into the plug in the opening direction (B  A).
In fail-open valves, all media must flow in the opening direc-
tion (A  B). For versions with the optional handwheel, a fail- A B

close valve can be opened and a fail-open valve can be

closed in the event of supply air failure.
