The VERSA VZL 270982-9-1 is a high-performance pneumatic directional valve from VERSA's industrial valve series. This 3-way valve (model USP-3301-31) belongs to the same technical family as VZL-3301, designed for demanding pneumatic systems with robust pressure handling capabilities.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
Pressure Ranges: VAC-200 (vacuum applications) and VAC-14 BAR (~200 PSI)
Pilot Pressure: 40-200 kPa (2.0-14 bar) for standard pneumatic control circuits
Construction: Durable metallic body (brass/alloy) with corrosion resistance
Functionality: 3-way directional control for compressed air or vacuum systems
Applications: Precise automation in manufacturing, packaging, and fluid handling
Product Lineage & Industrial Applications
The VZL series (including VZL-3301 and VZL 270982-9-1) shares VERSA's design principles of modularity, high-pressure tolerance, and adaptability for both vacuum and positive pressure scenarios. These valves are essential for systems requiring precise directional control of pneumatic media.
Common industrial applications include:
Automotive assembly lines
Pharmaceutical machinery
Automated material handling equipment
Oil drilling systems (wellhead control, pneumatic actuation circuits)
Drilling fluid management and emergency shutdown protocols
Oil & Gas Industry Applications
In oil drilling operations, these valves play critical roles in:
Controlling pneumatic signals for drilling mud valves and blowout preventers
Operating directional drilling actuators
Managing pressure regulation in drilling fluid circulation systems
Supporting exploration drilling safety and operational efficiency
Their robust design (VAC-200 and VAC-14 BAR compatible) makes them ideal for harsh, high-pressure oilfield environments.
