FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY, February 26, 2008 – ASCO, the world’s leading manufacturer of solenoid valves, today introduced an online tool for its 8290 series actuated globe valve assembly that dramatically reduces configuration time and ensures a highly reliable, flow control solution.  The online configurator, found at www.ascovalve.com/8290Configurator, enables users to quickly select an actuated globe valve, solenoid pilot valve, and position indicator in an assembly specifically suited to their applications. 

“The first of its kind in this market segment, the 8290 series online configurator permits customers to easily configure factory-approved and tested valve assemblies in minutes, not months,” said Robert W.
