ASCO 8316G014MB Solenoid Valve

ASCO 8316G014MB RedHat II three-way, normally closed solenoid valve combines compact 3/8" NPT ports with a brass body for reliable flow control in instrumentation and process lines. It is driven by a 120 VAC, 60 Hz RedHat II epoxy‑coated coil rated at 17.1 watts, with Buna‑N (NBR) seals for chemical compatibility in typical air, inert gas, and water service. The valve features a 3/8" female pipe thread (FPT) on all ports and a Cv of 2.5, enabling meaningful flow at differential pressures from 10 to 250 psi. In operation, energizing the 8316G014MB valve shifts flow through the designated path in a 3-way arrangement, making it suitable for applications such as gas manifolds, test benches, lab instrumentation, and small process lines where a compact, fast-acting NC valve is desired. The RedHat II coil design provides robust switching performance and reliable seat sealing, while the brass body resists corrosion in typical laboratory and industrial environments. With its combination of mid-range pressure capability, standard 3/8" NPT connections, and a relatively modest power draw, this ASCO valve is a common choice for controlling air or inert gas in automated equipment, or for select water-application circuits where compatible materials and service conditions match the specification.
