A solenoid valve and manifold assembly wherein a solenoid pilot change-over valve can be selectively used as of the internal pilot type or as of external pilot type. The manifold comprises a gasket capable of being disposed between a manifold body and a valve body of a change-over valve of the solenoid pilot change-over valve alternatively in first or reverse second orientation and having a supply hole, an internal pilot hole and an external pilot hole formed therein. The supply path is communicated with an inlet port of the valve body by way of the supply hole whether the gasket is disposed in the first or second orientation. When the gasket is disposed in the first orientation, the supply path is communicated with a pilot port of the valve body by way of the internal pilot hole while the external pilot hole is displaced from the pilot port and an external pilot path of the manifold body, but when the gasket is disposed in the second orientation, the internal pilot hole is displaced from the supply path and the pilot port while the external pilot path is communicated with the pilot port by way of the external pilot hole.
A solenoid valve and manifold assembly, comprising a manifold body, a solenoid pilot change-over valve placed on said manifold body and including a change-over valve having a valve body and a solenoid pilot valve provided on said valve body for controlling said change-over valve, said manifold body having at least a supply path and an external pilot path formed therein, said valve body having formed therein at least an inlet port and a pilot port which is communicated with said solenoid pilot valve, and a gasket capable of being disposed between said manifold body and said valve body alternatively in first orientation or in second orientation reverse to the first orientation and having at least a supply hole, an internal pilot hole and an external pilot hole formed therein such that an exit of said supply path of said manifold body is communicated with said inlet port of said valve body by way of said supply hole whether said gasket is disposed between said manifold body and said valve body in the first orientation or in the second orientation;
