Overview
The Asco 8262H262 is a RedHat II series 2-way, direct-acting solenoid valve engineered for general-service fluid control in industrial automation and machinery applications. This valve is normally open (opens when de-energized, closes when energized) and requires no minimum operating pressure, making it ideal for applications where pressure fluctuation is common.
Key Features
- Direct-acting poppet design enables high flow capacity with tight shut-offs
- Normally open (NO) configuration for fail-safe operation
- 1/4″ female pipe thread (FPT) connections at inlet and outlet
- Brass body construction suitable for general-service environments
- No minimum operating pressure requirement
- Compact, mountable in any position
