Parker 06FS3C2340ACF Valve

  • $185.08


The Parker 06FS3C2340ACF is a high-performance 2-way normally closed solenoid valve engineered for precision control in demanding steam and hot water applications. This 3/8-inch NPT valve features a robust brass body construction designed to withstand the thermal stresses of hydronic heating and industrial process lines. With a pressure rating of 0/50 PSI for steam and 0/150 PSI for hot water, this valve ensures reliable mechanical actuation without requiring a minimum differential pressure to operate, making it ideal for low-pressure gravity feed or closed-loop systems. The internal seat and seal materials are optimized for high-temperature media, reducing the risk of premature hardening or deformation common in standard-duty valves. For technicians servicing commercial boiler rooms or heat exchangers, this Parker series provides a drop-in solution that maintains system integrity under continuous cycling conditions.

Key Benefits for Field Installation
  • Zero Differential Operation: Functions reliably even in low-pressure scenarios without needing a pressure drop to open the diaphragm.
  • Steam-Rated Durability: Specifically calibrated for 0-50# steam applications, ensuring the plunger and seat assembly resist wire-drawing and scaling.
  • NPT Compatibility: Standard 3/8-inch threading simplifies integration with existing piping manifolds and HVAC control systems.
  • Normally Closed Logic: Provides fail-safe operation, automatically closing the flow path upon loss of electrical power to prevent overheating or flooding.
Common Technician Questions

What is the maximum fluid temperature rating for this solenoid valve?
The 06FS series is designed to handle high-temperature media associated with saturated steam and hot water, typically rated for temperatures up to 300°F depending on the specific coil insulation and seal compound used.

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
For optimal longevity and to prevent sediment buildup in the solenoid tube, it is recommended to install the valve with the solenoid coil in the upright vertical position on a horizontal run of pipe.

Is this valve compatible with DC voltage systems?
The ACF suffix typically denotes an AC configuration; technicians must verify the coil voltage (120V or 240V) matches the controller output to avoid burning out the solenoid coil assembly.
