ASCO 8342G3 Solenoid Valve
The ASCO 8342G3 Solenoid Valve is a high-performance 4-way direct acting solenoid valve engineered for precision control in industrial automation. This 3/8" NPT solenoid valve is a "universal" operation model, meaning it can be used for diverse applications including 4-way, 3-way, or 2-way control of air, water, and light oil. Featuring a durable brass body with high-quality NBR seals and disc (complemented by PTFE components), the 8342G3 is built to withstand rigorous cycles in general service environments. Operating on a standard 120VAC coil voltage, this unit provides reliable actuation for double-acting cylinders and pistons. The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures the valve is protected against corrosion and moisture, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. With pressure ratings of 0–125 PSI for air and 0–100 PSI for fluid media, this ASCO RedHat valve (Red Hat II series) is the industry standard for dependable fluid power management.
Key Benefits
- Versatile Application: Direct-acting design allows for operation at zero pressure, making it perfect for low-pressure systems.
- Superior Protection: The NEMA 4X enclosure provides watertight and corrosion-resistant performance for harsh industrial sites.
- Simplified Maintenance: Designed for easy access to internal parts; uses standard ASCO repair kit 306191 to reduce downtime.
- Universal Wiring: Equipped with a 1/2" conduit hub and 18-inch leads for straightforward electrical integration into 120V systems.
- High Flow Efficiency: The 3/8" porting ensures consistent flow rates for air, water, and light oil (up to 300 SSU).
Common Questions
Can the ASCO 8342G3 be used with various media types?
Yes, this general service solenoid valve is rated for air and inert gas up to 125 PSI, and water or light oil up to 100 PSI.
What is the difference between this and the ASCO 8342G003-120/60?
The 8342G3 and 8342G003-120/60 are functionally identical; the latter is often the full formatted manufacturer part number indicating the specific 120V/60Hz coil configuration.
Does this valve require a minimum operating pressure?
No. As a direct-acting valve, the ASCO 8342G3 does not require a minimum pressure differential to shift position, allowing it to function reliably even in gravity-fed or low-pressure vacuum states.
