ASCO 8318D003MO Solenoid Valve Direct Acting

ASCO 8318D003MO Direct Acting Solenoid Valve is a compact, three-way valve designed for low-pressure pneumatic control. Housed in a die-cast zinc body with 1/4 in NPT ports, it provides a 3/32 in orifice and a 1/4 in exhaust, enabling compact circuits and reliable exhaust management. The coil is rated for 120 VAC, 60 Hz and draws about 6.0 watts (coil insulation class SF), ensuring consistent actuation with standard electrical supply. This direct-acting design handles up to 40 psi differential pressure, making it suitable for general-service applications using air or inert gas lines at low pressure. The model suffix MO indicates a variant with a manual operator, providing an optional manual override alongside electrical actuation. In operation, this ASCO valve offers straightforward installation and robust construction for instrumentation, automation, and general pneumatics, delivering dependable isolation and flow control in tight spaces where a compact, low-pressure 3-way valve is required.
