342 Series 4-Way General Service, Single Solenoid Valve
The ASCO Series 342-S, also known as 8342, is a line of high-flow, slide-style 4-way valves available with single or dual solenoids. Its direct-acting operation and high-flow construction make it ideal for analytic and diagnostic equipment, biofuels, dust collector systems, heating equipment, and refining applications.
Features
- Dual-solenoid operation: solenoid may be energized momentarily (1/10 second) or continuously
- Mechanical detent on dual solenoids holds last position, even after loss of electric power, pneumatics, or pressure
- No minimum operating pressure differential required to shift valve
- Optional flow control regulates cylinder speed independently in either direction
- Mountable in any position
- Available in direct mount constructions
