ASCO 8214G13 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8214G13 Solenoid Valve is a high-performance 2-way normally open gas vent valve engineered specifically for critical fuel gas service. Built with a rugged aluminum body and resilient NBR seals, this valve ensures reliable containment and venting within a pressure range of 0-5 PSI. Designed to handle a high flow capacity of 3.4 Cv and up to 172,500 BTU/hr, the 8214G13 is a staple in industrial combustion systems and boiler rooms. The 120Vac coil is protected by a Nema 4X enclosure, providing superior resistance against corrosion and moisture in demanding environments. This 3/8" NPT valve is frequently utilized as a fuel gas vent valve to provide safety and redundancy by remaining open when de-energized, allowing for the safe discharge of gas during system shutdowns. As a leader in commercial gas safety valves, ASCO's engineering ensures this unit meets the strict requirements for HVACR gas line management and industrial burner safety.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced Safety: The normally open configuration ensures gas is safely vented to the atmosphere during power loss or system standby.
• Durable Construction: Features a lightweight yet rugged aluminum body and stainless steel internal parts for long-term reliability.
• Weatherproof Protection: The Nema 4X enclosure offers airtight protection against dust and water, ideal for outdoor or washdown locations.
• High Flow Efficiency: Optimized for low-pressure systems with a 3.4 Cv flow factor to maintain consistent pressure drop across the vent line.
• Precision Sealing: Equipped with NBR (Nitrile) seals to ensure leak-tight performance with standard fuel gases.

Common Questions:

Can the ASCO 8214G13 be used with propane?
Yes, this valve is designed for fuel gas service, which typically includes natural gas and propane. Always verify your specific gas composition against the material compatibility of the aluminum body and NBR seals.

What is the purpose of a normally open vent valve?
In a double block and bleed system, a normally open solenoid valve is used in the vent line between two shut-off valves. It stays open to vent trapped gas when the system is off, preventing pressure buildup.

Is the coil replaceable on this model?
Yes, the 120V/60Hz solenoid coil is a standard replacement part. However, if the valve exhibits erratic behavior or excessive noise, a complete inspection of the internal plunger and shading coil is recommended.
