The Asco 8262G031 Solenoid Valve (8262G31) is a direct-acting, normally open 2-way solenoid valve designed for moderate-pressure shutoff in compact systems. Its brass poppet construction ensures reliable performance in air, water, and light oil applications where flow must be maintained during power-off conditions. It is commonly used in laundry equipment, small pumps, and control panels.
