ASCO 8030G16 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8030G16 Solenoid Valve is a 2-way normally closed direct-acting valve engineered specifically for low-pressure service and vacuum applications in industrial HVACR systems. Built with a rugged brass body and reliable NBR (Buna-N) seals, this 1/2" NPT unit is optimized for air and water management where a zero minimum pressure differential is required for operation. The 120Vac solenoid coil provides consistent actuation, supporting a high flow coefficient (2.8 Cv) that ensures efficient media transfer in dispensing, tank draining, and combustion fuel gas shutoff systems.

Designed for demanding environments, the 8030G16 features a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it watertight and corrosion-resistant for both indoor and outdoor installations. This ASCO RedHat series valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 4 PSI for air/inert gas and 6 PSI for water, with a maximum fluid temperature of 180°F. As a veteran-grade general service valve, it offers a compact footprint without sacrificing the mechanical integrity necessary for industrial automation and process control.

Key Benefits

• Zero Minimum Differential: Reliable operation in gravity-fed or low-pressure systems with no minimum pressure requirement.
• NEMA 4X Protection: Corrosion-resistant and watertight housing provides durability in harsh washdown or outdoor environments.
• Versatile Mounting: Direct-acting design allows for multi-positional mounting to fit tight piping configurations.
• NBR Seal Compatibility: Standard Buna-N elastomers provide excellent sealing for air, inert gas, and water applications.
• High Flow Capacity: The 2.8 Cv rating ensures rapid response and high throughput for 1/2" NPT porting.

Common Questions

Can this valve be used for high-pressure steam applications?
No, this model is specifically engineered for low-pressure air (4 PSI) and water (6 PSI). For steam service, a high-temperature EPDM or PTFE seated valve is required.

Does the 8030G16 require a minimum pressure to open?
Unlike pilot-operated valves, this is a direct-acting solenoid valve, meaning it functions at 0 PSI and does not require a pressure differential to actuate.

Is this valve suitable for fuel gas shutoff?
Yes, the 8030 series brass construction is commonly utilized for low-pressure combustion gas service in industrial burners, provided the pressure remains within the 4 PSI limit.
