FEBRUARY PRODUCT OF THE MONTH & NEW PRODUCT

We are pleased to announce the release of the new 24 Series MAC Valve.  The 24 Series is a 10mm solenoid pilot operated 4-way valve.  This valve utilizes a new 3-way pilot which is powered by the existing "R" type solenoid currently used in the 33,43,83 series as well as the plug-in versions of the ISO-01 and ISO-02 valves.  This unit is available in air-only return (std min operating pressure of 25psi) or spring return (optional min operating pressure of 35psi).  This valves series is available in in-line and plug-in versions. The new plug-in version includes the individual base, manifold base (wired for MAConnect), circuit bar, sandwich flow control and standard regular.
