Festo CPE24 Air Solenoid Valve
The Festo CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-12 is a pneumatic solenoid valve designed for compressed-air control in industrial automation. It suits engineers and technicians who need reliable 5/3-way switching for cylinder or actuator circuits. The valve arrives new in a single pack with the manufacturer part number 170318 clearly marked.
Installation and common issues
The valve uses quick-connect ports for push-in tubing, so installation is straightforward when the correct tube diameter is selected. A 24 V DC supply is required for the coil, and wiring must follow the pin assignment on the connector. The most frequent issue is air leakage caused by undersized or damaged tubing, or by debris in the supply line.
5/3 mid-position function
The critical specification is the 5/3 mid-position behaviour, which determines how the valve treats the actuator when de-energised. This model blocks all ports in the centre position, holding the cylinder in place rather than venting or pressurising it. Select this valve only when that blocking function matches the safety or control logic of the application.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-12 valve is switching correctly after installation?
Apply 24 V power and listen for the solenoid click; then verify air flows from port 1 to the selected output port and exhausts through the other when de-energised.
What comes in the box with the 170318 valve and what must I source separately?
The box contains one red CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-12 valve; you must supply 12 mm push-in tubing, a 24 V DC power source and suitable electrical connectors.
Which version of the CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-12 should I choose for a 12 mm tube system?
The QS-12 suffix confirms this model accepts 12 mm push-in fittings; select it when your circuit uses 12 mm tubing.
