ASCO 8030G17 Solenoid Valve
The ASCO 8030G17 Solenoid Valve is a direct-acting, 2-way normally closed solution engineered for low-pressure general service and vacuum holding applications. Featuring a robust brass body with NBR (Buna-N) seals, this 1/2" NPT valve is optimized for air and water media within a 0-15 PSI operating pressure differential. The unit is equipped with a high-performance 120Vac RedHat coil housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing superior protection against corrosion and moisture in demanding mechanical rooms. With a substantial 2.8 Cv flow factor and a 7/16" orifice, the 8030G17 ensures reliable fluid control for gas shutoff, tank draining, and ventilation systems. Its lightweight, compact design allows for versatile mounting, while the 200°F maximum fluid temperature rating accommodates a wide range of industrial HVACR thermal requirements. This 1/2 inch NPT solenoid valve is the industry standard for contractors requiring precise low pressure valve performance without a minimum operating pressure differential.
Key Benefits- No Minimum Differential: Direct-acting design operates reliably from 0 to 15 PSI, making it ideal for gravity-fed and low-pressure systems.
- Environmentally Hardened: The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures watertight and corrosion-resistant performance in indoor and outdoor installations.
- High Flow Capacity: A 2.8 Cv rating provides efficient throughput for air and water service, reducing pressure drop across the line.
- Flexible Media Compatibility: Standard NBR seals handle air, inert gas, and water at temperatures up to 200°F.
- Does this valve require a minimum pressure to open? No, being a direct-acting solenoid, the ASCO 8030G17 functions at 0 PSI, which is critical for vacuum and low-pressure dispensing applications.
- Can this valve be used for fuel gas shutoff? While largely used for general service, this series is often utilized in industrial gas burners; however, always verify local code compliance for safety shutoff requirements.
- What is the benefit of the NEMA 4X rating over NEMA 1? NEMA 4X provides protection against windblown dust, rain, and hose-directed water, as well as an additional level of protection against corrosion.
