The Asco 8262G263 Solenoid Valve (8262G263) is a direct-acting, normally open 2-way valve designed for low-to-moderate pressure fluid control where uninterrupted flow is required during power-off conditions. With a 0.49 Cv rating and brass body construction, this valve provides higher flow capacity in compact assemblies handling air, water, and light oil.
