ASCO 8314C23 Solenoid Valve

ASCO 8314C23 is a compact, 1/4" NPT solenoid valve designed for on/off control of compressed-air lines in industrial automation. It features a normally closed (N/C) configuration and a 120V AC coil that draws about 3 watts, enabling reliable, low-power actuation in pneumatic circuits. The 1/4" NPT ports simplify installation into standard air lines and manifolds, making it easy to integrate with existing equipment. Rated for air service up to 125 psi, this valve is well suited for typical plant air systems and for piloting cylinders or other valves in automation sequences. When energized, the valve permits airflow to actuate downstream devices, while de-energizing returns the line to its default state for a predictable fail-safe condition. The 8314C023/8314C23 designation identifies this family of compact air valves used across manufacturing environments, including packaging machines, material-handling conveyors, and automated inspection rigs, where a small, energy-efficient solenoid valve provides precise pneumatic control without occupying excessive space.
