ASCO 8256B046V 120V AC Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve

Compact 2-Way Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8256B046V is a normally closed, 2-way solenoid valve built with a stainless steel body and FKM seals. It suits fluid-control tasks that need a small 1/8 in nominal pipe size and a compact footprint. Buyers managing air or inert-gas lines in light-industrial or lab settings will find the 0.19 Cv flow coefficient matches low-volume requirements. The open-frame coil enclosure keeps the assembly simple for panel or bracket mounting.

Verify Voltage and Pressure Before Ordering

Confirm that your supply runs at 110V AC or 120V AC to match the coil rating. The valve handles a maximum operating pressure differential of 135 psi for air and inert gas only; fuel gas and fuel oil duties are not applicable. Ensure the 1/8 in orifice and pipe connections align with your existing tubing or manifold. The normally closed function means the port stays shut until the coil is energised, so plan wiring and control logic accordingly.

Replaces Larger or Lower-Rated Valves in Tight

This unit upgrades installations where a bulky valve body or a lower pressure rating previously limited design options. The stainless construction and FKM seals resist corrosion better than brass or NBR alternatives in similar compact formats. The jump is worth it when you need reliable shut-off at 135 psi within a narrow envelope and can supply standard 120V AC power. It does not serve applications requiring fuel-gas or fuel-oil compatibility.
