instructions for information on: Wiring, Solenoid Temperature, Causes
of Improper Operation, and Coil Replacement.
DESCRIPTION
Series 8316 are 3-way, diaphragm-operated solenoid, pilot-controlled
valves. Valves are made of brass with only four moving parts: a core
assembly, two diaphragm assemblies and a disc holder sub-assembly.
Valves may be provided with a general purpose, explosionproof/watertight
solenoid enclosures.

install a pressure gauge in the pressure piping as close to the valve as possible.
IMPORTANT: To protect the solenoid valve, install a strainer or lter,
suitable for the service involved in the inlet side as close to the valve as
possible. Clean periodically depending on service conditions. See ASCO
Series 8600 and 8601 for strainers.

IMPORTANT: Do not install ow controls (speed or metering devices)
or any type of restrictive device in either the Pressure “P” (inlet) or
Exhaust “E” (outlet) ports of the valve. Restricting either of these lines
may cause valve malfunction.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of death,
personal injury or property damage, turn o󰀨 electrical
power, depressurize valve, and vent uid to a safe area
before servicing the valve.

6. Remove three gaskets from insert. Tag each gasket as it is removed so
that they can be reassembled in the same location. Middle and lower

core springs, remove core spring, core assembly and solenoid base
gasket.
3. Unscrew manual operator body from main valve body and remove
body gasket.
4. Before removing the stem retainer from the manual operator body, note
the location of the captive spacer on the stem/lever sub-assembly. The
captive spacer will either be on the inside or outside of the fork on the
stem retainer. Location of this spacer is important for reassembly.
