GC Valves S311GF02V8AC9 Valve

The GC Valves S311GF02V8AC9 is a direct-acting, 2-way normally closed solenoid valve engineered for precision fluid control in demanding industrial and HVACR environments. Featuring a rugged brass body and high-performance Viton (FKM) seals, this valve provides superior chemical resistance and durability when handling air, water, light oils, and compatible gases. The 1/8" NPT connection and 3/32" orifice allow for consistent flow rates in compact installations, while the 120Vac coil (Class F) ensures reliable actuation under continuous duty cycles. Designed for versatility, this direct-acting solenoid operates without requiring a minimum pressure differential, making it an ideal choice for vacuum services or low-pressure systems up to 300 PSI. Its NEMA 4X rated encapsulation protects internal components from moisture and corrosion, providing technicians with a dependable solution for automated process control and pilot valve applications.

Key Benefits

• Broad Media Compatibility: Integrated Viton seal material allows for safe operation with oils and aggressive fluids at temperatures up to 230°F.
• Zero Pressure Actuation: The direct-acting design ensures the valve opens and closes reliably regardless of system pressure.
• Industrial-Grade Build: Heavy-duty brass body construction and a Class F insulated coil maximize service life in high-ambient heat environments.
• Standardized Integration: The 1/8 inch NPT porting and 120V AC electrical requirements sync seamlessly with existing North American control circuits.

Common Questions

Can this valve be used for steam applications?
While the Viton seals handle high temperatures, Class H coils are typically recommended for dedicated steam service; verify your specific temperature and pressure requirements against the S311 series limits.

Is the coil replaceable without breaking the fluid line?
Yes, the encapsulated coil can be serviced or replaced without disconnecting the valve body from the piping, reducing downtime during maintenance.

What is the maximum operating pressure for this model?
The GC Valves S311GF02V8AC9 is rated for a maximum operating pressure differential of 300 PSI for air and 130 PSI for water and light oils.
