ASCO HBX8342B2 Solenoid Valve

ASCO HBX8342B2 is a four‑way, single‑solenoid pneumatic valve in ASCO's general‑service line, delivering robust, reliable air control for industrial automation with a 150 psi maximum working pressure, 1/4" NPT ports, and a 120 VAC (60 Hz) coil. In operation, pressure from the P port is directed to A or B while the opposite port exhausts via R, enabling control of a double‑acting cylinder or two independent air paths within a compact valve body. The brass body and elastomer seals are engineered for standard compressed‑air service and compatibility with common pneumatic components, supporting general‑purpose air, oil, or gas service in manufacturing environments. Typical applications include packaging lines, automated clamping and gripping fixtures, machine tooling, and other process‑control tasks where reliable, quick switching of compressed air is required, and parts support from ASCO distributors is widely available.
