ASCO 8214G30B Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8214G30B Solenoid Valve is a 3/4" NPT, 2-way normally closed gas shutoff valve designed for high-capacity fuel gas service. Engineering for propane gas shutoff and natural gas applications, this internal pilot-operated valve features a rugged aluminum body and NBR (Buna-N) seals for reliable seating. Field-proven in industrial burners and commercial atmospheric boilers, it handles up to 400,000 BTU/hr with a 5.1 Cv flow coefficient. The 120V solenoid valve is housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing superior protection against corrosion and moisture for both indoor and outdoor installations. With a 0-50 PSI operating pressure range, it meets the rigorous demands of safety shutoff systems where fast, positive closure is required. This RedHat valve is the standard for contractors needing ASCO gas valves that maintain performance in demanding duty cycles without compromising flow integrity.

Technical Benefits for Contractors

• High-Flow Capacity: 5.1 Cv rating supports large-scale gas-fired equipment up to 400,000 BTU/hr.
• Industrial Build: Die-cast aluminum body with NBR seals ensures chemical compatibility with fuel gases.
• NEMA 4X Protection: Watertight and dust-tight enclosure allows for installation in harsh environments.
• Zero Minimum Differential: Internal pilot-operation allows for reliable cycling even in low-pressure systems.

Common Questions

Is this valve suitable for natural gas or only propane?
The 8214G30B is rated for both propane and natural gas, provided the pressure remains within the 0-50 PSI specification.

Can the NEMA 4X enclosure be used outdoors?
Yes, the NEMA 4X rating indicates the housing is designed to protect electrical components from windblown dust, rain, and hose-directed water.

Does this valve require a minimum pressure to operate?
No, this pilot-operated series is designed to open and close reliably starting from 0 PSI.
