Festo VUVS-L25-B52-D-G18-F7 Solenoid Valve G1/8

The Festo VUVS-L25-B52-D-G18-F7 is a 5/2 single-acting solenoid directional control valve with G1/8 port connections, 24 V DC coil, and manual override, housed in a 25 mm width plug-in base body for individual or manifold-mount configurations. As a 5/2 single-solenoid valve, it offers spring return to a defined safe position on power loss — a critical safety characteristic for applications where the connected actuator must retract or clamp on emergency stop or power failure. The G1/8 port size and 25 mm body width place it in the small-to-medium flow range, with a flow rate of approximately Kv 0.35 m³/h, suitable for driving ADN and DNC cylinders up to 63 mm bore diameter at standard industrial cycle rates.

The VUVS plug-in design is the key commercial advantage: the valve mounts onto a standardised sub-base that provides pneumatic connections, electrical connections, and manifold connectivity in a single mechanical interface. This means the valve can be removed, replaced, or reconfigured — even upgraded to a different function (5/2 double-solenoid, 5/3, etc.) — by unplugging and replugging, without disturbing any plumbing or wiring. In maintenance scenarios on production lines at Al-Marai or SADAFCO, this swap-out approach reduces valve replacement time from 20–30 minutes per valve to under 5 minutes, directly limiting production downtime during maintenance windows. The F7 coil protection class (IP65) resists dust and water ingress, making the valve suitable for washdown-exposed valve panels in food processing areas.

The VUVS-L25 is widely used in Saudi Arabia's pharmaceutical packaging machinery, food and beverage processing lines, and general automation equipment. SABIC downstream packaging plants that seal and bag polymer granulates use VUVS-series valves to drive cylinder-actuated bag clamps, heat sealers, and label dispensers in continuous operation. In ARAMCO's sampling panel automation projects, VUVS valves drive instrument valve actuation where compact physical size, clean electrical interface, and defined fail-safe position are all required simultaneously. The valve's compatibility with Festo's MPA and CPV manifold systems means it can be easily integrated into centralised valve terminal architectures rather than distributed individual valve plumbing, reducing tubing runs and simplifying system layout.

Razz Middle East stocks VUVS valves in the most common voltage (24 V DC, 110 V AC) and function configurations (5/2 single, 5/2 double, 3/2) for fast dispatch. We supply individual valves and complete manifold sub-base assemblies configured to customer specifications, with wiring diagrams and full Festo documentation for each order. Our engineering team can assist with valve sizing, manifold configuration, and integration into existing Festo MPA or CPV valve terminal systems already in operation at your facility.
