You might try Googling the name. P/N and model #. You might be surprised what you could find.

BBC - GCSE Bitesize: Pneumatics

I'm sure some supplier, somewhere can recommend a replacement.

Provide further details as to the original purpose/function/action of this valve, and someone may come along to help you.

By the way, if you think we can read this catalog (for the specs) based on what you posted, you are sadly mistaken.

It's an air operated solenoid valve.

Let's see, inlet and outlet same size/configuration? Check.

Physical size the same, or adaptable? Check.

Flow through the same? Check.

Air supply available? Check.

Place an order? Check.

Is this what we call an air-switch? Electrically operated air control to a single acting valve?

OR, it is an air operated (to open or close) valve with not description of the fluid to be passed through the valve?

My guess is BBC is Brown-Boveri Co, (not British Broadcasting Corp, or various other possibilities). That co amalgamated with ASEA and became ABB (TLA obvious). If so, it might be worth contacting them.

Contact another manufacturer or distributor. They may be able to cross reference the old part number for a match or near match. Some re-plumbing may be required with a substitute.
