The Festo 196941 (CPE14-M1BH-5L-1/8) is a 5/2-way, single-solenoid valve for controlling compressed air in pneumatic systems. Its 14 mm-wide body combines a standard nominal flow rate of 800 l/min with G1/8 connections on the main pneumatic ports.
The valve operates at 24 V DC and 3 to 8 bar. It uses internal pilot air and a pneumatic spring reset, and can be mounted in any position. A die-cast aluminium housing and NBR seals complete the construction. When fitted with a plug socket, the valve has an IP65 protection rating.

What operating pressure does the valve need?
The specified operating pressure range is 3 to 8 bar.
What is the valve's nominal flow rate?
Its standard nominal flow rate is 800 l/min, standardised to DIN 1343.
What size are the main pneumatic connections?
Ports 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 each have a G1/8 connection.
What type of air can be used with the valve?
It is specified for compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. Lubricated operation is possible, but once lubrication is introduced, it must be maintained.
What temperature range can the valve operate in?
Both the ambient and media temperature ranges are −5 °C to 50 °C.
Can the valve be mounted in any orientation?
Yes. The specified mounting position is any orientation, and the valve mounts using a through-hole.
