Overview
The Asco 8262H014 Red-Hat series solenoid valve is a proven, direct acting general service valve widely used in pneumatic, hydraulic, and water systems. This 2-way/2-position normally closed valve delivers reliable fluid control with a small but powerful solenoid coil design. The 1/8″ female pipe thread (FPT) connections accommodate most standard industrial piping layouts, while the brass body and lead-free construction ensure durability and compliance with drinking water regulations.
Key Features
