ASCO 8320G174 Solenoid Valve

ASCO 8320G174 is a three-way universal, direct-acting solenoid valve in a brass body with 1/4 in nominal pipe size and NPT end style. The 8320 family is a general service valve; this model uses a 120 VAC coil that draws 17.1 W, enabling reliable actuation with modest power consumption. In de-energized state, the valve is normally closed, providing tight shutoff, and when energized it shifts to accommodate its three-way configuration for diverting or selecting flow in pneumatic lines. The valve is rated for up to 100 psi WOG, making it suitable for air and compatible gas services in compact automation or instrumentation setups. Seals are NBR (nitrile) and the body is brass, offering durable service in standard laboratory and industrial environments. With NPT ports and a robust, direct-acting design, it integrates into standard pneumatic circuits and control panels where space is at a premium. Applications include automated sequencing in test rigs, pneumatic actuation modules, gas sampling lines, and general-purpose switching of dry air in laboratory or manufacturing environments.
