ASCO 302883 Midget 3-Way Solenoid Valve

ASCO 302883 Midget 3-Way Solenoid Valve is a compact, three-port valve in ASCO's Red Hat 8314 family, engineered for general-service pneumatic control in automation, packaging, and lab equipment. This 3-way, two-position valve routes supply to a pneumatic actuator while venting the other port, enabling rapid actuation of small cylinders and pilot circuits. Variants in the 8314 series use small-diameter ports—1/8" NPT (FNPT) being a common configuration—making the valve especially suitable for compact installations. Coil voltages for 8314-series valves are offered in multiple electrical ratings; examples seen in catalog listings include 120/60 VAC and 110/50 VAC configurations, giving compatibility with standard control systems. The Red Hat designation signals a watertight enclosure approach for reliable operation in common environments, with midget form-factor that supports quick valve replacement in existing manifolds. Typical applications include directing air to a single-acting cylinder, switching pilot lines in automation panels, and general pneumatic control tasks in manufacturing or laboratory settings. The 8314 family’s compact footprint and standardized 3-way configuration also make the 302883 variant well-suited for manifold installations where space is at a premium.
