ASCO 8262H7 Valve

The ASCO 8262H7 Valve is a high-performance 2-way normally closed solenoid valve designed for demanding industrial applications requiring precision fluid control. Engineered with a rugged stainless steel body and durable NBR seals, this direct acting solenoid valve provides reliable operation without a minimum pressure requirement. It features a 1/4" NPT connection and is powered by a 120Vac coil, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of automated systems. With a .35 Cv flow coefficient, it efficiently manages pressures up to 185 PSI for air, 180 PSI for water, and 90 PSI for light oil. The NEMA 4X enclosure ensures exceptional protection against corrosion and environmental elements, making it ideal for general service in washdown environments or outdoor installations. Whether used in analytical instrumentation or commercial laundry equipment, the ASCO RedHat series 8262 provides exceptional longevity and airtight shutoff performance.

Key Benefits

• Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance and compatibility with various fluids.
• Direct acting design allows the valve to operate at zero pressure, ensuring reliability in gravity-fed or low-pressure systems.
• NEMA 4X rated enclosure offers watertight and dust-tight protection for harsh industrial environments.
• Normally closed operation ensures the valve remains failsafe and closed during power loss.
• Versatile compatibility handles air, water, and light oil, reducing inventory needs for multi-media facilities.

Common Questions

What is the difference between a direct acting and pilot operated valve?
A direct acting valve like the 8262H7 uses the solenoid plunger to directly open and close the orifice, allowing it to function at 0 PSI. Pilot operated valves require a pressure differential to function.

Can this ASCO valve be installed in any orientation?
While ASCO valves are designed for versatility, it is best practice to install the valve with the solenoid vertical and upright to prevent sediment from accumulating in the core tube area.

What does the NEMA 4X rating signify for this valve?
The NEMA 4X rating indicates the electrical enclosure is protected against windblown dust, rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water, with the added benefit of being corrosion-resistant.
