ASCO 8215G30-208V Solenoid Valve
The ASCO 8215G030 is a heavy-duty 2-way normally closed solenoid valve engineered specifically for gas pilot control and low-pressure fuel gas shutoff applications. Featuring a 3/4" NPT connection and an aluminum body, this valve is built to handle residential and commercial burner systems with a flow coefficient of 5.1 Cv and a capacity of up to 247,500 BTU/hr. Operating on 208V/60Hz, the unit utilizes NBR (Buna-N) seals to ensure gas-tight shutoff at pressures ranging from 0 to 50 PSI. The NEMA 4X enclosure provides superior protection against corrosion and environmental ingress, making it suitable for demanding boiler rooms and outdoor installations. This ASCO RedHat valve is a direct replacement for many standard air-fuel gas shutoff valves, allowing for seamless integration into existing combustion controls and safety strings requiring rapid-response solenoid action.
Key Benefits
- Zero Minimum Pressure: Operates reliably from 0 PSI up to its maximum rated differential, essential for low-pressure gas lines.
- High Flow Capacity: The 5.1 Cv rating allows for significant fuel delivery within a compact 3/4" footprint.
- Durability: Rugged aluminum body construction reduces weight without sacrificing structural integrity in gas piping systems.
- Resilient Sealing: High-grade NBR seals provide excellent resistance to common fuel gases and air contaminants.
- Versatile Mounting: Optimized for easy installation in any position, though upright is recommended for maximum service life.
Common Questions
What is the maximum operating pressure for the ASCO 8215G030?
This low pressure gas solenoid is rated for a maximum operating pressure differential (MOPD) of 50 PSI for air and fuel gas applications.
Can this valve be used for liquid propane?
This specific 8215 series model is primarily designed for fuel gas shutoff (Natural Gas or Propane Gas) and air; always verify chemical compatibility with NBR seals and aluminum bodies before diversion from standard fuel gas use.
Is the 208V coil compatible with 240V systems?
While some coils have a voltage range, this unit is specified for 208Vac. Installing it on a 240V circuit may result in coil burnout or reduced service life; always match the nameplate voltage to your control circuit.
