The two-way valves are ideal for applications in industrial and agricultural machinery, food products machinery, laundry and dishwashing appliances, and medical and analytical instruments. The three-way valves are ideal for process valve automation, fluid diversion, fluid mixing and piloting applications.

These valves are engineered with higher pressure ratings for AC and DC operation that enable original equipment manufacturers to achieve higher performance from their products.  In addition, with the modular product architecture, a Web-based configuration tool, online ordering, and the ASCO Today guaranteed same-day shipping program, customers can rapidly configure and purchase an 8262/8263 or 8314 Series valve specifically for their application and receive it the next day.

The 8262/8263 Series valves come in brass and stainless steel constructions with 1/8-inch, ¼-inch, and 3/8-inch pipe sizes and are used to control the flow of air, water, light oil, and specialty media such as cryogenic fluids, ammonia, oxygen, and liquid propane.  The 8314 Series valves come in brass and stainless steel constructions with 1/8-inch and ¼-inch pipe sizes and are used to control the flow of air, water, and light oil.

The online configuration tool allows a customer to quickly build a valve to meet a set of specific requirements. It then displays the list price, availability, 3D CAD drawings, and specifications for the configured product. The configurator generates an order code for the valve that permits an immediate online purchase, plus greatly simplifies the reorderingprocess. Most of the 8262/8263/8314 Series valves are available through the ASCO Today same-day shipping program.
