ASCO 8210G1-12VDC Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8210G1-12VDC Solenoid Valve is a pilot-operated, 2-way normally closed general service valve designed for high-flow applications involving air, water, and light oil. Engineered with a rugged brass body and NBR seals, this 3/8" NPT valve provides a 3.0 Cv flow coefficient, ensuring efficient pressure regulation across its operating range of 5 to 125 PSI for air and up to 100 PSI for water or light oil. The 12VDC RedHat II solenoid is housed in a Nema 4X enclosure, offering superior protection in wash-down environments or outdoor installations. This ASCO RedHat valve is a standard for contractors requiring reliable fluid control in commercial laundry, industrial water systems, and air compressor setups. Its pilot-operated diaphragm design minimizes internal leakage while maximizing service life in demanding HVACR and process control loops. As a 12VDC general service valve, it integrates seamlessly into low-voltage DC control circuits commonly found in mobile or remote industrial equipment.

• High Flow Efficiency: A 3.0 Cv rating supports high-volume throughput in a compact 3/8" NPT footprint.
• Harsh Environment Protection: The Nema 4X enclosure is watertight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for industrial wash-downs.
• Broad Media Compatibility: Standard NBR (Buna-N) seals handle air, inert gas, water, and light oil up to 300 SSU.
• Reliable Actuation: The pilot-operated mechanism ensures consistent opening and closing even at maximum pressure differentials.
• Simplified Maintenance: The ASCO 8210 series is designed for easy access to internal components using standard rebuild kits.

What is the minimum pressure required for this valve to operate?
Because the ASCO 8210G1 is pilot-operated, it requires a minimum differential pressure of 5 PSI to lift the diaphragm and allow flow.

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
While ASCO valves are often versatile, it is standard trade practice to mount the solenoid upright and vertical to prevent sediment buildup in the core tube and ensure optimal longevity.

Is the 12VDC coil continuous duty?
Yes, the RedHat II 12VDC coil is designed for continuous duty cycles, provided ambient temperatures remain within the specified range for DC operations.
