ASCO 821463CSA Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8214G3CSA is a high-performance 2-way normally open solenoid valve specifically engineered for fuel gas vent valve applications. Featuring a robust 1 1/4 inch NPT connection and a lightweight aluminum body, this valve is designed to handle high flow rates with a 32 Cv flow coefficient, supporting up to 1,538,750 BTU/hr. Operating on 120Vac, it provides reliable pressure relief for gas burner systems with a 0-5 PSI operating range. The internal NBR seals ensure tight shut-off and compatibility with various fuel gases, while the NEMA 1 enclosure offers standard protection for indoor industrial environments. This industrial gas safety valve is critical for ensuring controlled venting in combustion systems, combining the legendary reliability of ASCO RedHat technology with specialized engineering for low-pressure gas management.

• Enhanced Safety: High-capacity venting ensures rapid pressure relief in fuel gas systems.
• Durable Construction: The corrosion-resistant aluminum body provides a long service life in demanding environments.
• Optimized Flow: The high 32 Cv rating minimizes pressure drop during venting cycles.
• Standard Compatibility: The 120V/60Hz electrical configuration integrates seamlessly with most HVACR control circuits.
• Reliable Sealing: Premium Buna-N (NBR) elastomers offer excellent resistance to fuel gas contaminants.

Common Questions

What is the purpose of a normally open vent valve in a gas train?
A normally open vent valve like the 8214G3CSA acts as a safety device that stays open to vent gas to the atmosphere unless energized. When the system is running, the valve is closed; upon shutdown or power loss, it opens to ensure no gas is trapped between the safety shut-off valves.

Can this ASCO valve be used for high-pressure gas applications?
No, this specific model is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 5 PSI. Exceeding this limit can compromise the integrity of the NBR seals and seat.

Is the NEMA 1 enclosure suitable for outdoor installation?
The NEMA 1 enclosure is designed for general-purpose indoor use. For outdoor or washdown environments, a NEMA 4 or 4X rated enclosure would be required.
