ASCO 8262H261 is a 2‑way, direct‑acting, normally open solenoid valve with 1/4" NPT ports and a brass body, designed for general‑purpose control of liquids and gases. This is the 24 VAC coil variant in the ASCO Red Hat family, delivering open‑on‑deenergize operation and a nominal Cv of 0.21 for moderate flow. The valve uses NBR seals and is rated for differential pressures up to 275 psi for air/inert gas, 230 psi for water, and about 180 psi for light oil, depending on the fluent medium, with standard 1/4" NPT connections. Typical applications include general fluid control in instrumentation, heating, water supply, and inert‑gas lines where a compact, reliable 2‑way valve is required.
