ASCO


Non-Metallic
3 Way and 3 and 4 Way
Pad Mounted Pilot Valves
8380/8401
Series
8380/8401 Series Valve

General Description
These 3 way and 4 way pad mounted pilot valves are designed to mount directly to most leading actuator configurations. The valves are provided with thermoplastic bodies and stainless steel hardware to create a corrosion resistant package ideal for your diverse requirements. A momentary/maintained manual operator is standard. Valves can be converted from AC to DC, or vice versa, by simply changing the coil.

The 3 way valve is a normally closed poppet design to insure tight shut-off. These valves are designed for use with spring return actuators.

The 4 way valve is a 2 position design based upon the successful ASCO Slide Valve. This valve series requires no minimum differential pressure and only 20 psi mainline pressure to operate. The action of the slide on the flow plate wipes away dirt to avoid sticking flollowing periods of inactivity. The 4 way valve can be used as either a 4 way 2 position design or a 3 way nrmally closed design merely by rotating a gasket located in the sub-base prior to assembly to the actuator. The 3-way operation routes the exhaust pressure to the spring side of the actuator to prevent corrosion problems within the actuator.
