Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 056110 Solenoid Valve

The Copeland Comfort Control (Alco) 056110 Solenoid Valve is a direct-acting, 2-way normally closed industrial component engineered for precise flow regulation in HVACR and fluid control systems. Built with a rugged industrial solenoid brass valve body, this 056110 (Model 204CD1/4B1/8B) provides reliable performance across high-cycle applications. It features a 1/4" NPT threaded connection and a 0.34 Cv flow coefficient, making it an ideal choice for managing air and water media in commercial environments. This unidirectional valve is designed for flexibility in the field, supporting 0-150 PSI for air and water when paired with AC voltage coils, and 0-75 PSI under DC voltage configurations.

For technicians performing a solenoid valve replacement, the Alco 056110 ensures consistent shut-off and minimal external leakage. The normally closed operation ensures the system remains sealed until the coil is energized, providing a critical fail-safe for industrial fluidics. Whether integrated into refrigeration liquid lines or general process control, this 1/4 inch NPT solenoid stands up to the rigors of heavy-duty operation without the "sticking" common in lower-grade alternatives. Its compact footprint and brass body construction facilitate straightforward installation in tight mechanical headers while maintaining the structural integrity required for high-pressure differentials.

Key Benefits:

• Durable Brass Construction: The industrial brass valve body offers superior corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding air and water applications.
• Precise Flow Control: Featuring a 0.34 Cv rating and direct-acting mechanics for immediate response upon coil energization.
• Versatile Pressure Ratings: Rated for up to 150 PSI (AC) and 75 PSI (DC), accommodating diverse electrical and mechanical requirements.
• Normally Closed Safety: Provides a 2-way normally closed default state to prevent unintended fluid bypass during power loss.
• Standardized Connectivity: The 1/4" NPT threads ensure compatibility with standard industrial piping and solenoid valve repair kits.

Common Questions:

What media is compatible with the Alco 056110?
This valve is specifically designed for air and water applications. For steam or aggressive refrigerant service, always verify seal compatibility against the specific 204CD series technical datasheet before installation.

Does this valve include the electrical coil?
The 056110 typically refers to the valve body assembly. Technicians should pair this with the appropriate Alco/Copeland coil (AC or DC) based on the specific voltage requirements of the control circuit.

Can the 204CD1/4B1/8B be used as a unidirectional valve?
Yes, this is a unidirectional valve. Ensure the flow arrow on the brass valve body aligns with the direction of the system fluid to prevent back-pressure issues and ensure a proper seal.
