ASCO 8214G23-24V Solenoid Valve
The ASCO 8214G23-24V Solenoid Valve is a high-performance 2-way normally open gas vent valve specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of commercial and industrial burner operations. Designed to remain open when de-energized, this 1/2" NPT solenoid valve provides a critical safety flow path, efficiently venting fuel gas to prevent pressure buildup. Built with a rugged aluminum body and resilient NBR seals, it ensures long-term reliability in specialized HVACR and combustion systems.
Operating on 24Vac, this unit supports a flow capacity of 206,250 BTU/hr with a 4.4 Cv, making it ideal for low-pressure applications ranging from 0-5 PSI. The NEMA 4X enclosure offers superior protection against water and corrosion, ensuring consistent performance in challenging environments. Whether utilized in boiler systems, furnaces, or kilns, this ASCO fuel gas vent valve delivers the precision required for modern combustion safety control and gas management protocols.
Key Benefits- Enhanced Safety: The 2-way normally open configuration ensures gas venting occurs immediately upon power loss.
- Industrial Durability: Robust aluminum construction paired with NBR seals provides excellent resistance to gas-related wear.
- Environmental Protection: Standard NEMA 4X housing protects internal components from dust, rain, and hose-directed water.
- Precision Flow Control: Optimized 4.4 Cv rating allows for consistent 0-5 PSI pressure management in gas trains.
What is the purpose of a normally open vent valve in a gas train?
In a double block and bleed system, a normally open solenoid valve like the 8214G23-24V serves as the vent valve. It remains open to atmosphere when the system is off, ensuring any gas leaking past the first safety shutoff valve is safely vented outside rather than reaching the burner.
Can the ASCO 8214G23 be mounted in any orientation?
For optimal performance and to meet industry safety standards, it is highly recommended to mount this valve with the solenoid vertical and upright, particularly in fuel gas applications.
Is this valve compatible with 120V systems?
No, this specific model is designed for 24Vac operation. Please verify your controller output before installation to avoid electrical damage.
