ASCO 8215G3 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8215G3 Solenoid Valve is a rugged, 2-way normally closed gas shut-off valve engineered for industrial and commercial combustion systems. Featuring a lightweight aluminum body and 3/4" NPT pipe connections, this valve operates on a 120Vac power supply. It provides a flow coefficient of 5.1 Cv and is rated for an operating pressure range of 5-125 PSI, making it ideal for high-pressure air and gas service. The NBR seals ensure reliable seating, while the NEMA 4X enclosure provides superior protection against corrosion and moisture in demanding environments. Designed for rapid cycling and low-power consumption, the 8215G3 is a standard-tier component for contractors managing fuel gas lines, burners, and industrial furnaces. Its direct-acting or pilot-operated construction allows for consistent performance in low-ambient temperature applications where precise flow control is critical for system safety and efficiency.

Key Benefits

• High-Flow Efficiency: The 5.1 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop across the 3/4" orifice in high-demand combustion circuits.
• Industrial Durability: NEMA 4X rated watertight and dust-tight housing protects the solenoid coil in harsh mechanical rooms.
• Reliable Gas Control: Specifically designed for air and inert gas service, providing tight shut-off via high-grade NBR elastomeric seals.
• Streamlined Installation: Compact aluminum construction reduces piping stress and simplifies mounting in tight manifold configurations.

Common Questions

What is the maximum operating pressure differential for the 8215G3?
This valve is rated for a maximum pressure of 125 PSI for air/gas service, requiring a minimum of 5 PSI to operate the pilot-assisted mechanism effectively.

Is this ASCO valve suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the NEMA 4X enclosure is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including protection against windblown dust, rain, and hose-directed water.

Can the ASCO 8215G3 be used with fluids other than air?
This specific model is optimized for air, inert gas, and fuel gas; ensure chemical compatibility with the NBR seals and aluminum body before use with other media.
