ASCO 8214G10 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8214G10 Solenoid Valve is a heavy-duty 2-way normally closed diaphragm-type valve designed specifically for fuel gas shutoff in commercial and industrial burners. Featuring a 3/8" NPT connection and a robust aluminum body, this valve is engineered for high-cycle reliability in gas trains. It operates on a standard 120Vac power supply and provides a 3.4 Cv flow factor, supporting a gas capacity of up to 183,000 BTU/hr. The integration of NBR (Buna-N) seals ensures a leak-tight seal, while the NEMA 4X enclosure offers superior protection against corrosion and environmental contaminants. Built for low-pressure systems, the ASCO RedHat 8214 series excels in safety-critical applications requiring FM approved and UL listed components. This gas safety shutoff valve is a technician’s choice for maintaining precise control and ensuring immediate closure in the event of power loss, effectively mitigating risks in HVAC and boiler room environments.

• Redundant Sealing: The unique double-disc design with overtravel provides extra security for leak-tight shutoff in the closed position.
• Environmentally Hardened: NEMA 4X watertight enclosure and aluminum construction prevent corrosion in demanding mechanical rooms.
• Zero Minimum Pressure: Direct-acting/pilot-operated hybrid design allows the valve to function reliably from 0 to 5 PSI.
• High Flow Efficiency: Optimized internal geometry yields a 3.4 Cv, minimizing pressure drop across the gas train.
• Industry Compliance: Meets rigorous standards for fuel gas service, including UL and FM safety certifications for industrial burners.

Is the ASCO 8214G10 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the NEMA 4X rated enclosure is designed to protect electrical components from windblown dust, rain, and hose-directed water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor gas-fired equipment.

What media is compatible with this valve?
This valve is specifically rated for fuel gas (including natural gas and propane) and air/inert gas. The NBR seals provide excellent chemical resistance for these specific combustion applications.

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
While many ASCO valves allow for flexible mounting, for gas safety shutoff valves, it is best practice to mount the valve with the solenoid vertical and upright to prevent sediment from settling in the core tube and causing erratic operation.
