Overview
The ASCO 8263H200LF is a premium two-way, normally closed solenoid valve designed for general service applications. Red Hat designation indicates a watertight, durable enclosure suitable for harsh industrial environments. This 24/DC model delivers reliable flow control for pneumatic and light hydraulic systems without minimum operating pressure. The valve body is constructed from lead-free brass (LF suffix) for compliance with drinking water standards.
Key Features
- Direct-acting solenoid design—no pilot pressure required
- Normally closed configuration; energize to open
- 2-way, 2-position (on/off) valve operation
- 3/8 inch NPT connection size for standard industrial piping
- Watertight enclosure (Types 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X rated)
- Lead-free brass body (LF) for potable water compliance
- Available in 24VDC for DC-powered automation systems

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The ASCO 8263H200LF is part of the ASCO 8262–8263 miniature solenoid valve family. Other lead-free brass variants in this series share the same cavity and may be interchangeable for similar pressure/media conditions. Verify model-specific orifice sizing and coil voltage before substitution. Consult ASCO documentation or your system integrator to confirm drop-in suitability.
Works With
- ASCO Red Hat solenoid coil assemblies (24VDC, AC alternative voltages available)
- Standard industrial PLC and automation controllers
- Manual override operators (available as optional accessory)
- ASCO manifold blocks and cavity inserts
- Industry-standard pneumatic and hydraulic schematic symbols
