ASCO 8215A40 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8215A40 Solenoid Valve is a high-performance, 2-way normally closed shutoff solution specifically engineered for low-pressure air-fuel gas applications. This robust 3" NPT gas valve features a lightweight aluminum body and high-grade NBR seals, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial combustion systems. With an impressive 138 Cv flow factor and a capacity of 7,430,000 BTU/hr, it is designed to handle high-volume flow with a 0-5 PSI operating pressure differential. The 120Vac coil is protected by a NEMA 1 enclosure, making it an ideal choice for furnace gas shutoff and large-scale boiler management. As a direct-acting solenoid, it requires zero minimum pressure to operate, providing immediate response and emergency gas shutoff capabilities for enhanced system safety.

Key Benefits:

• Maximum Flow Efficiency: Features a massive 138 Cv rating to support systems up to 7,430,000 BTU/hr.
• Zero Pressure Operation: The direct-acting design functions perfectly from 0 to 5 PSI without requiring pilot pressure.
• Durable Construction: The corrosion-resistant aluminum body and resilient NBR seating offer a tight seal for air and fuel gas service.
• Simplified Installation: Standard 3-inch NPT connections and a lightweight frame reduce strain on industrial piping.

Common Questions:

Can this valve be used for natural gas?
Yes, the ASCO 8215A40 is specifically rated for air and fuel gases, including natural gas and propane, in low-pressure combustion systems.

Does this valve require a minimum pressure to open?
No, this is a direct-acting solenoid valve, meaning it will open and close reliably even at 0 PSI inlet pressure.

What should I do if the valve is humming or buzzing?
Check for proper voltage supply to the 120V coil and ensure there is no debris trapped in the core tube, as foreign matter can prevent the solenoid from seating correctly.
