The Asco 8316G026 Solenoid Valve (8316G26) is a 3-way, normally open, pilot-operated unit that uses a diaphragm poppet mechanism to regulate air, inert gas, and water. Designed for consistent high-pressure control, it’s well-suited for rapid cycling tasks in pneumatic circuits, actuator logic functions, and automated control systems.

Installation and Operational Notes
- Mount the solenoid using the hex flange base.
- For panel mounting, use the correct steps for 3/4″ or 15/16″ bonnets.
- Solenoids are continuous duty and may get hot.
- Disconnect the power and relieve pressure before servicing.
- Clean the valves regularly to avoid slow or faulty operation.
