Overview
The ASCO 8344A71M0 is a four-way solenoid valve from the proven Series 8344 lineup. Built with a brass body and piston-operated poppet design, this valve delivers high flow performance across a range of industrial fluid and pneumatic control applications. The 120 VAC coil design makes it ideal for standard AC power environments.
Key Features
- Four-way solenoid operation — routes flow between system pressure, working ports, and exhaust
- Piston-poppet design — enables high flow capacity with smooth directional control
- Brass construction — corrosion-resistant body suitable for air, water, and light oil media
- NPT threaded ports — standard industrial port configuration for flexible piping integration
- Pilot-operated design — efficient solenoid actuation with minimal power draw
- Universal mounting — horizontal, vertical, or inverted installation without performance loss
