ASCO EF8316G066 Solenoid Valve

ASCO EF8316G066 Red Hat II 1/2 in NPT 3-Way solenoid valve is a brass-bodied, normally open valve in ASCO’s Red Hat explosion-proof family, designed for reliable control of compressed air, inert gases, and water in hazardous environments. This pilot-operated 3-way valve directs flow from a single inlet to a primary output while venting the secondary port, enabling compact actuation of pneumatic cylinders or fluid circuits. It is offered with multiple coil configurations, including AC coils for 120/60 Hz or 110/50 Hz operation, and a 24 V DC option, providing compatibility with a range of electrical supplies. The 1/2 in NPT connections support in-line piping and, when installed per ASCO guidelines, deliver robust performance in industrial, chemical, or process-automation settings. The EF8316G066 designation identifies a specific valve within the 8316 family, with Red Hat II construction emphasizing protection for operation in demanding service and exposed environments. Distributor and catalog listings describe this valve as a pilot-operated, air-and-water service valve featuring brass body construction, inline piping, and a 3-way NO configuration, suitable for applications requiring controlled directional flow and venting of the secondary port.
