Festo 18 mm Solenoid Valve
The Festo CPE18-M3H-5JS-QS-10 is a compact solenoid valve measuring 18 mm wide. It is supplied new in a single pack under part number 163807. This test equipment component suits pneumatic control tasks in automation and maintenance environments. The red finish aids visual identification during installation.
Suits pneumatic panel builders.
Technicians assembling 18 mm valve manifolds or replacing a CPE18 unit will find the correct fit and function. The 3-year parts and 1-year labour coverage supports scheduled maintenance planning. Operations requiring larger flow passages or different port patterns should look at alternative valve series. Buyers needing integrated sensors or fieldbus connectivity will not find those features here.
Direct manifold mounting with push-in ports
The valve mounts directly on a compatible 18 mm manifold rail using the integrated QS quick-connect fittings. Wiring connects to the M3H coil pins without special tools. Misalignment of the manifold gasket is the most common cause of leakage during commissioning. Ensure the supply pressure matches the valve rating before energising the coil.

Questions about this item
What pneumatic fittings or tubing does the 18 mm wide CPE18-M3H-5JS-QS-10 require for installation?
The valve uses QS quick-connect ports sized for 10 mm tubing; matching push-in fittings and 10 mm OD pneumatic hose are needed to complete the air connections.
Can the 18 mm wide CPE18-M3H-5JS-QS-10 share a manifold with older 18 mm Festo valves?
Yes — the 18 mm width matches the standard CPE18 manifold grid, so it bolts onto the same sub-base and uses the same electrical connector pitch as earlier 18 mm models.
How do I confirm the CPE18-M3H-5JS-QS-10 is switching correctly after wiring it?
Apply the rated control voltage; the red LED on the valve body lights when the coil is energised, and an audible click plus airflow at the output port confirm proper actuation.
