ASCO 8342B21 Direct Acting 2-Way Solenoid Valve

ASCO 8342B21 Direct Acting 2-Way Solenoid Valve is a compact, direct-acting two-port valve that provides on/off control for lightweight fluids and gases in automated lines. The coil is 110–120 VAC, with the solenoid part number 80173, enabling straightforward integration with standard AC control systems. This model is rated for pressures up to 125 psi and is compatible with media such as light oil, water, and air, making it suitable for general service in pneumatic and fluid-handling applications. The 8342B21 configuration emphasizes simple installation and reliable actuation in small-diameter lines, ideal for laboratory benches, instrumentation rigging, lubrication feeds, coolant circuits, and sampling or filtration setups where quick, decisive valve movement is required. As a direct-acting valve, actuation is achieved by energizing the coil to move the valve element, delivering a direct path control without the complexity of pilot lines or auxiliary pressures. The part numbering identifies a distinct variant within ASCO’s 8342 series, designed for 2-way operation and ready for replacement and maintenance within standard service environments.
