The Asco 8300C6F Solenoid Valve is a direct-acting, normally closed 3-way valve built for high-pressure switching in small-bore pipelines. With its 1/8″ NPT port and 20-watt coil, this model is ideal for cycling light oils in high-pressure circuits. Common uses include hydraulic control blocks, fuel supply manifolds, and compressed lubrication systems.
