Curious on how the plumbing is done for a 5 port herion solenoid valve to a Qev or a 3 port push button festo to a Qev..

I have trawled the forums but just cant find the info needed.
No doubt i will find it in the last place i look... typically that's how it works...lol

A 3 port valve has one input and two outputs, one of which is open when the valve is at rest, the other is open when the valve is triggered. You can easily find out which is which by blowing through them :)

Air supply goes the input, the "at rest"output goes to the QEV pilot section, the other output is left open to the atmosphere, voila.
