The Asco 8262G264 Solenoid Valve is a normally open, direct-acting 2-way valve engineered for low-pressure air, water, and light oil control in systems that must remain open when de-energized. With a 0.83 Cv rating, this model supports higher flow rates through a 1/4″ NPT port, making it suitable for compact utility lines and OEM fluid circuits.
