The Asco 8215C083 Solenoid Valve (8215C83) is a direct-acting solenoid valve designed for air-fuel gas service in low-pressure combustion and air handling systems. With a Cv rating of 58 and zero-pressure opening capability, it is ideal for applications requiring continuous flow until an energized signal triggers closure.
