The Asco 8262G261 Solenoid Valve is a direct-acting, normally open 2-way valve engineered for high-pressure air, water, and oil control. With a Cast UR disc and robust brass construction, it provides reliable shutoff and long-term durability in systems requiring flow during power-off conditions. It is ideal for use in pressure control equipment, burner assemblies, and high-duty OEM circuits.
