ASCO Valve 8401 Air Slide Pilot-Operated Valve
The ASCO Series 401, also known as 8401, is a line of pilot-operated air slide valves designed for air and inert gas service in heating equipment applications. The aluminum valves incorporate a unique sliding and sealing member that provides a durable and non-stick sealing method. Optional flow control regulates cylinder speed in either direction and permits adjustable Cv from 0.2 to 0.8.
