The Asco EV8316G082V Solenoid Valve (EV8316G82V) is a 3-way, normally closed, pilot-operated valve equipped with an explosion-proof coil suitable for hazardous environments. Built with a 3/8″ NPT 316 stainless steel body and Viton seals, this model allows zero pressure differential when externally piloted, making it ideal for low-pressure automation and air-handling systems in corrosive conditions.

Installation and Operational Notes
- Ensure 10 psi minimum pressure differential; valve vents to 0 psi.
- Mount it upright or vertically for optimal performance.
- Use unrestricted piping; apply pipe compound to male threads only.
- Rotate the stem 180° clockwise for manual override, counterclockwise for electrical.
- Inspect and clean filters regularly and use ASCO replacement parts.
