Which happens when depends on whether it is ‘normally open’ or ‘normally closed’ before actuation. 2. A pneumatic valve is actuated by compressed air put into at one end of an actuation cylinder. Moving the valve in the ‘other’ direction is either by a return spring or by connecting the compressed air to the other end of the actuation cylinder. 3. Since the forces of atmospheric pressure can be very large on a big diameter valve, most are pneumatically actuated. Solenoid valves are reserved for small diameter vacuum valves. Indeed, while I know of many solenoid actuated foreline valves, I don’t know of any solenoid actuated gate valves. 4. However, connecting compressed air first to one end of a gat
