Overview
The ASCO 8822097 is an AC-operated solenoid valve designed for direct control of pneumatic, hydraulic, and liquid flow in industrial and commercial applications. This solenoid valve features flexible dual-voltage operation, supporting both AC120V 60Hz North American standard and AC110V 50Hz international operation. ASCO solenoid valves are engineered for precision actuation, reliability, and long service life across diverse industries including water management, air systems, machine automation, and process control.
Key Features
- Dual AC voltage compatibility: 120V 60Hz and 110V 50Hz operation
- Direct-acting solenoid design for immediate response and low operating pressure requirements
- Compact industrial-grade construction suitable for manifold mounting or standalone installation
- Standard NPT port connections for easy integration into existing piping
- Normally closed or normally open configurations available (verify specific configuration at order)
- UL, FM, and CSA approved for general industrial use
