ASCO has introduced the 8361 series of stainless steel pilot valves. The ASCO 8361 Series’ innovative, highly reliable, and proven T-seal technology resists the dormancy issues that plague current valves using O-ring seals. O-ring designs can stick upon actuation in low-cycle demand control valve applications in offshore and oil and gas production facilities. The ASCO 8361 series (¼-inch, 3-way and 316L stainless steel) valves are offered in manually operated, air-piloted, and solenoid-piloted versions. They can be configured as breathing and nonbreathing. The ASCO non-breathing version isolates internal components from the atmosphere and is internally vented, preventing contaminants such as salt and dust to enter the valve and corrode internal components. In addition, the ASCO valve’s innovative pilot-selector design allows the same unit to be used as an internally or externally piloted solenoid valve. Every aspect of this ASCO valve has been designed for the highest reliability, minimal maintenance, and lowest cost of ownership. The ASCO valve’s body is made entirely in 316L stainless steel, and the stainless steel springs are designed for corrosion resistance and severe service beyond 1 million cycles.
