The Asco EF8030G016 Solenoid Valve (EF8030G16) is an explosionproof, normally closed valve engineered for low-pressure shutoff in hazardous locations. Its direct-acting design and zero-pressure differential operation make it ideal for classified area use in drain lines, safety interlocks, and small-system isolation points.
