ASCO 8316G56 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8316G56 Solenoid Valve is a 3‑way, normally open, pilot‑operated brass valve designed for precise control of compressed air, inert gas, and water. It belongs to ASCO’s Series 8316 family, which uses a diaphragm‑operated, pilot‑controlled mechanism to switch flow with a compact, robust brass body. Port sizes for this family range from 3/8" up to 1" NPT, with the 8316G056 variant commonly available in coil configurations for 120/60 VAC or 110/50 VAC to fit standard electrical systems. This valve is intended for lightweight process and instrumentation tasks where a small, reliable valve is needed to divert or isolate a secondary line via pilot actuation. Its 3‑way arrangement enables straightforward flow routing without a dual valve stack, reducing panel complexity and wiring. The combination of brass construction, pilot control, and multiple coil voltages makes the 8316G56 suitable for use in compact automation panels, air and gas lines, and water feed applications in industrial equipment.
