Product Overview
The FESTO HE-1/2-D-MIDI (Part No. 162810) is a manually actuated pneumatic on/off valve from Festo’s proven D-series MIDI valve family. Designed as a 2/2-way shut-off valve, it features a robust manual lever mechanism that provides reliable, quarter-turn style actuation for isolating or enabling compressed air flow within pneumatic circuits. With a 1/2″ nominal connection size and MIDI (medium-duty) body platform, this valve is engineered for dependable service in industrial automation, machine tools, and process control systems where positive pneumatic isolation is required. Its poppet-style sealing design ensures tight shut-off with minimal leakage, making it an ideal choice for maintenance isolation, safety circuits, and sectional control of compressed air distribution networks.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Performance: Poppet-style sealing mechanism delivers tight, repeatable shut-off with minimal leakage, ensuring reliable isolation of pneumatic circuits during maintenance or emergency stop conditions.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with a durable die-cast aluminum body and corrosion-resistant internal components rated for demanding factory environments.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original Festo OEM standards, allowing drop-in replacement without modification to existing piping or mounting arrangements.
- Manual Override Capability: Lever actuation provides clear visual indication of valve position (open/closed), supporting safe lockout/tagout procedures and rapid system isolation.
- Compact MIDI Platform: The D-MIDI body size balances flow capacity with a space-efficient footprint, ideal for modular pneumatic panels and manifold assemblies.
Typical Industrial Applications
This FESTO pneumatic on/off valve is commonly deployed in plastic injection molding machines for air circuit isolation, metallurgical presses and forming equipment for controlled pneumatic actuation, construction and marine hydraulic-pneumatic control panels, CNC machine tools for spindle and clamping air supply management, and general factory automation systems requiring reliable manual shut-off of compressed air lines.
