ASCO 8215G2 Solenoid Valve
The ASCO 8215G2 Solenoid Valve is a rugged, direct-acting 2-way normally closed solution engineered for high-flow air and inert gas applications. Built with a lightweight aluminum body and industrial-grade NBR seals, this valve ensures a reliable, tight shutoff in pneumatic systems and vacuum service. With a 1/2" NPT pipe size and a robust 4.8 Cv flow factor, it is purpose-built to handle operating pressure differentials ranging from 5 to 125 PSI. This 120Vac model features the RedHat II power management solenoid, housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure for superior watertight and corrosion-resistant protection in demanding mechanical rooms. Designed for longevity in industrial automation and air compressor systems, the ASCO 8215G2 provides the fast-acting response time and high-cycle performance necessary for critical safety shutoff valve applications. For optimal performance and extended service life, vertical and upright mounting is recommended for this 1/2 inch NPT solenoid.
Key Benefits- High Flow Capacity: Delivers a 4.8 Cv rating, providing maximum throughput for low-pressure 5-125 PSI systems.
- Industrial Durability: Rugged aluminum construction paired with NBR diaphragms handles air and inert gases with ease.
- Extreme Protection: Standard NEMA 4X enclosure provides watertight and dust-tight performance in harsh environments.
- Rapid Actuation: Direct-acting design allows for near-instantaneous opening and closing, critical for pneumatic control.
- Standardized Integration: Features 1/2" NPT ports and a 120V/60Hz coil for seamless replacement in most North American HVACR setups.
Can the ASCO 8215G2 be used for fuel gas?
No, according to the manufacturer specifications, the 8215G2 is specifically designed for air and inert gas service and is not rated for fuel gas applications.
What is the preferred mounting orientation for this valve?
While functional in various positions, it is highly recommended to mount the solenoid vertically and upright to ensure reliable operation and reduce internal wear.
Is this valve suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the NEMA 4X enclosure is designed to protect against corrosion and windblown dust/rain, making it suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.
