The Asco 8262G262 Solenoid Valve is a normally open, direct-acting two-way valve designed for low to moderate pressure fluid control in systems that require continuous flow when power is off. This valve features NBR seals, a Cv rating of 0.35, and is made of compact brass. It is perfect for use with compressed air, water, and light oil in control cabinets, utility circuits, and compact process assemblies.

Installation and Operational Notes
- Verify seal compatibility with system media and temperature.
- Mount the solenoid vertically when possible to reduce debris accumulation.
- A strainer or filter should be used on the inlet to protect internal valve components.
- Do not apply pipe compound to valve threads; use it on male threads only.
- Disconnect power and relieve system pressure before servicing.
