The Asco 8316G056 Solenoid Valve (8316G56) is a 3-way, normally open, pilot-operated brass valve designed for precise control of air, inert gas, and water. Its diaphragm poppet design ensures tight sealing and high reliability under varying pressure conditions. Ideally suited for industrial compressed air, fluid pumping systems, actuator piloting, and applications requiring consistent fluid delivery.
