The Asco 8316G003 Solenoid Valve (8316G3) is an air-piloted, spring-return valve designed for compressed air and inert gas control where zero minimum operating pressure is required. Ideal for critical shutdown sequences, this unit supports external or internal piloting and ensures safe return to the original position on power loss.
