Appendix
Solenoid Valve Configurations, Schematics & Setup
This Appendix covers the pneumatic setup of the solenoid valves used to actuate the adhesive
modules. A coalescing filter/ regulator kit (PN 100055) is available to provide regulated, oil-free air to
the solenoid valves. The kit also contains the necessary fittings and tubing to configure the kit for each
particular solenoid valve.
Some typical solenoid valve setups are shown on the following pages. While the most commonly used
solenoid valves are shown, other valves not listed here may be used if required for the particular
application. In general, however, the setups shown here can be applied to any solenoid valve. If there
are questions about a valve that was supplied with the applicator, and it is not shown here, consult
ITW Dynatec.
The Appendix is divided into sections for easy reference:

Air Filter/ Regulator Installation Notes
1. Compressed air for applicator head operation should be clean, dry and oil free.
2. In general, operation of more than one applicator head from a single air control kit is not
recommended, because applicator response time may be increased and synchronization may be
more difficult.
3. Install the filter/ regulator so that the bowl drains are easily accessible for servicing and the
regulator knob is accessible for adjustments.
4. Use a minimum of 1/4” OD tubing to make connections.
5. If air tubing is routed close to the head due to space constraints, high temperature TFE tubing
should be used to avoid tubing damage.
