38MP, 3853 and 3953 Series

Lightweight 2- and 3-Way Normally Closed or Normally Open Directional Control Valve

Fabco-Air’s 38MP, 3853 and 3953 Series composite body poppet valve features a number of options to best suit your fluid control system. Available in both 2-way and 3-way normally open or closed functions and seven orifice sizes, the body is created from predominantly lightweight and corrosion-resistant composite materials.

Component features include a nylon encapsulated coil, optional seal materials and a choice between a brass/stainless steel or all stainless steel solenoid operator. The DuPont Zytel FE 5015, FDA-approved composite material is media compatible, eliminating the need for stocking multiple body materials. The 3953 Series is a compact, stackable version of the 3853 Series.
