ASCO 8316G016 Solenoid Valve

ASCO 8316G016 is a three‑way, normally open, pilot‑operated diaphragm solenoid valve with 3/8‑inch port connections and a brass body, designed for high‑flow control of air, inert gas, and water in automation and process systems. The coil is rated for 120/60 VAC (with 110/50 VAC variants also listed) and draws about 17.1 watts, with coil insulation class F; seals are NBR, and the valve uses a 3/8" pipe size configuration. This 3‑way, 2‑position valve enables diverting or isolating flow depending on coil actuation and is suitable for environments requiring reliable duty cycles in air or water services. Maximum fluid temperature is 180°F for AC operation and 120°F for DC operation, and it supports differential pressures from roughly 10 to 250 psi in air to inert gas and water service. For maintenance or replacement, a replacement coil can be ordered using ASCO part code 238610-132-D. This valve is commonly used in industrial automation, instrumentation, and process equipment where robust, high‑flow 3‑way control of gaseous or liquid media is required.
