compact, leaktight assembly.
Direct Acting Valves (Figures 1A, 1B)
When the solenoid is energized in a direct acting
valve, the core directly opens the orifice of a

spring returns the valve to its original position. De-Energized Energized
The valve will operate at pressures from 0 psi to
its rated maximum.
The force needed to open the valve is proportional
to the orifice size and fluid pressure. As the orifice
size increases, so does the force required. To open
large orifices while keeping solenoid size small, a
Pilot Operated construction is used. Figure 3A: Figure 3B:

Normally, these valves have a pilot and bleed

ENGINEERING
When the solenoid is energized, the core opens

the pilot orifice, relieving pressure from the top of
the piston or diaphragm via the outlet side of the
valve. The line pressure then opens the valve by
lifting the diaphragm or piston off the main orifice. 505

Manual Operators
Manual operators are provided to operate the valve manually when electric
power is off. There are basically two types of manual operators: momentary
and maintained. Series 8320, 8321, and 8342 can be fitted with either type.
To determine which type is available for your valves, check the Construction
Reference Numbers in their Series Specification Tables against the Table
below. Schematics of the manual operators and how they are fitted to the
valves are shown on the right. If no manual operator is listed or a different
type is required, consult your local ASCO office. Add suffix MO or MS
