The ASCO EF8316G014 solenoid valve belongs to the ASCO 8316 Series of three-way, pilot-operated solenoid valves designed for industrial air and water control applications. Featuring a brass valve body, diaphragm-poppet construction, and an explosion-proof solenoid enclosure configuration, this valve is designed for dependable control in compatible industrial systems.
The EF8316G014 is a normally closed (NC) three-way valve. Its internal pilot operation allows it to control relatively large flow passages, making it suitable for pneumatic control circuits, actuator piloting, and applications requiring reliable switching of compatible fluids.

Key Features of the ASCO EF8316G014
1. Three-Way Valve Design
The EF8316G014 uses a three-way valve arrangement for controlling flow between its ports. Its normally closed configuration defines the valve’s de-energized state. Correct port connections and operating conditions are essential for proper performance.
2. Brass Valve Body
The brass body provides a durable construction for compatible industrial air, inert gas, and water applications. Before installation, confirm that the working medium, pressure, and temperature fall within the valve’s specified operating limits.
3. Pilot-Operated Diaphragm-Poppet Construction
The internal pilot mechanism controls the main flow path, allowing the valve to handle larger orifices than many small direct-acting valves. This design can be useful in pneumatic control circuits and systems that operate larger actuators.
4. Explosion-Proof Enclosure Configuration
The EF prefix identifies an explosion-proof enclosure configuration in the ASCO 8316 product family. However, the exact hazardous-area classification and certification depend on the complete valve and coil configuration. Always verify the applicable approval markings against the installation site’s requirements.
5. Industrial Control Applications
The valve is designed for compatible industrial fluid control and pneumatic piloting applications. Its suitability depends on the required flow, operating pressure differential, fluid compatibility, and electrical configuration.
Typical Applications
The ASCO EF8316G014 may be considered for suitable applications such as:
- Pneumatic actuator control
- Industrial automation equipment
- Air and water control systems
- Pilot circuits for larger control valves
- Industrial machinery requiring three-way solenoid control
- Suitable installations requiring an appropriately certified explosion-proof enclosure
The valve should only be installed in a hazardous area when its specific certifications and ratings satisfy the applicable site requirements.
How to Select the Correct EF8316G014 Configuration
When purchasing an ASCO EF8316G014 solenoid valve, the base model number alone may not provide all the information needed to confirm compatibility.
Before placing an order, verify:
- Complete part number: Check the full ordering code shown on the valve nameplate.
- Coil voltage and frequency: Confirm the electrical supply required by the control system.
- Port connection: Verify the 3/8-inch NPT connection and the required piping arrangement.
- Operating conditions: Confirm the working medium, pressure differential, and temperature.
- Hazardous-area requirements: Check the exact enclosure classification and certifications if the valve will be used in a hazardous location.
- Installation requirements: Ensure that the valve’s flow direction and port arrangement match the system design.
Providing the complete model number and a clear nameplate photograph can help reduce the risk of ordering an incompatible replacement.
