ASCO™ Series 316 Solenoid Valves

The ASCO™ Series 316 Solenoid Valves are direct-acting and solenoid-operated, featuring brass bodies suitable for air, inert gas, and water. Available in NPTF port sizes from 3/8" to 1", they deliver a flow capacity ranging from 2.0 Cv to 14.0 Cv. These valves offer multiple voltage options, including 100-240V AC/DC and 12-120V DC, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings in hazardous environments. They comply with ATEX, CSA, and UL standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation across different zones.

Key Features

Key features and benefits of ASCO™ Series 316 Solenoid Valves
1

Key Features

The low-power model includes a seamlessly moulded solenoid unit, engineered with a solenoid cartridge that optimises efficiency and a specialised low wattage coil. This design allows it to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 175°C (80°C), making it an excellent choice for plant control automation to facilitate PLC compatibility.
2

Key Features

For applications requiring minimal differential pressure, the zero-minimum differential version offers a brass body for typical environments, and a stainless steel body that is ideal for corrosive conditions, enhancing its durability and reliability.
3

Key Features

Lastly, the intrinsically-safe version is specifically engineered for safe deployment in areas designated as intrinsically safe or NIFW. It must be used with properly approved and correctly sized limiting barriers to ensure safety and compliance in sensitive installations.
