Parker 08FS3C2340ACF Solenoid Valve

As a veteran tech, you know that reliability in high-temperature applications is non-negotiable. The Parker 08FS3C2340ACF is a robust 1/2" NPT solenoid valve specifically engineered for the rigors of saturated steam and hot water service. This pilot-operated valve, part of the respected Gold Ring Series, features a normally closed (NC) configuration and utilizes a hung diaphragm design to ensure dependable opening even at 0 PSI minimum differential pressure. Built with a heavy-duty forged brass body and high-grade EPDM seals, it handles media temperatures up to 300°F. For contractors managing commercial laundry equipment, autoclaves, or industrial steam baths, this valve provides a high flow rate with a 4.0 Cv factor and a 5/8" orifice. It is rated for 0-50 PSI steam and 0-150 PSI hot water, offering the tight shut-off and thermal resilience required for critical HVACR and process control environments.

• Zero Pressure Differential: The hung diaphragm design allows the valve to operate from 0 PSI up to its maximum rating, making it ideal for low-pressure steam gravity returns.
• High-Temperature Durability: Specifically outfitted with EPDM seals to withstand 300°F saturated steam without premature degradation.
• Optimized Flow: A generous 4.0 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop across the 1/2" connection in high-demand hot water systems.
• Application Versatility: Engineered for sterilizers, dry cleaning machines, and industrial boiler applications where thermal cycling is frequent.

• Does this include the solenoid coil? No, the 08FS3C2340ACF is the pressure vessel only. You must pair this with a compatible Class F or Class H coil (typically 11W AC) to match your specific field voltage requirements.
• Can this be used for air or oil? While the brass body is compatible, the EPDM seals are specialized for water and steam. Always verify chemical compatibility before using with oils to prevent seal swelling.
• What is the maximum pressure for steam? This unit is strictly rated for a 50 PSI maximum in steam applications and 150 PSI for hot water.
