Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AL-180 Air Valve

The Schneider Electric AL-180 Air Valve is a rugged, open-frame solenoid air valve engineered for precise control in pneumatic HVAC systems and industrial automation. Operating on a 24Vac power supply, this pilot-duty component is essential for applications requiring the electrical conversion of pneumatic signals. The AL-180 features a corrosion-resistant plastic body and is designed for vertical mounting with the solenoid at the top to ensure optimal performance. With a 0.3 scfm flow capacity and a maximum inlet pressure of 30 psig, it effectively directs supply air to pneumatic actuators and controllers when energized. This unit is housed in a NEMA Type 1 junction box and includes 18" electrical leads for straightforward field wiring. For technicians performing legacy maintenance, the AL-180 is identical to 2368-401, providing a direct-swap solution for Barber Colman systems without the need for additional 1/4" barb adapters or mounting modifications.

• Universal Compatibility: Serves as a direct OEM replacement for 2368-401, ensuring zero-configuration integration into existing Barber Colman pneumatic circuits.
• Efficient Airflow Control: Rated for 0.3 scfm air consumption at 15 psig, optimized for pilot-duty operation and pneumatic logic applications.
• Streamlined Installation: The integrated junction box and pre-stripped 18" electrical leads reduce field labor during installation and maintenance cycles.
• Industrial Durability: Constructed with high-grade plastic to resist corrosion in environments with high humidity or chemical exposure.

Is the AL-180 compatible with 1/4 inch tubing?
Yes, this valve is equipped with 1/4" barbed fittings specifically designed for 1/4" O.D. plastic tubing, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection in standard pneumatic setups.

Can this solenoid valve be used for both normally open and normally closed functions?
The AL-180 is a three-way valve that includes ports for Common, Normally Closed (Port 1), and Normally Open (Port 2) configurations, allowing it to adapt to various control logic requirements.

What are the electrical requirements for the AL-180?
This model operates on 24Vac (60 Hz) and consumes approximately 5.7 Watts when energized, making it compatible with most standard HVAC control transformers.
