Explosion proof solenoid valve

The Asco EF8221G007 Solenoid Valve (EF8221G7) is an explosion-proof, pilot-operated valve engineered for precise water control in high-pressure, high-temperature applications. Its slow-closing feature reduces water hammer, protecting system components. This valve is perfect for boiler systems, cooling loops, and water treatment operations that require reliable shutoff and safety in hazardous environments.
