Overview
The ASCO 8210B059 solenoid valve is a pilot-operated, general-service 2-way, 2-position control valve designed for moderate-temperature industrial applications. With a brass body and 1-1/2 in female pipe thread (FPT) connections, this normally open valve opens immediately upon de-energization and closes when the solenoid is energized. The 8210 series is engineered for economical, high-flow operation across multiple media types.
Key Features
- Pilot-Operated Design: Lower power consumption (20 watts @ 120 VAC) with proportional response across the pressure range
- Normally Open Configuration: Valve opens when de-energized, ensuring fail-safe operation in critical applications
- Multi-Media Compatibility: Rated for air, inert gases, water, and light oil (up to 300 SSU) service
- Brass Body with NBR Seals: Corrosion-resistant construction with low internal leakage and extended service life
- High Flow Capacity: Flow coefficient (Cv) of 22.5 enables efficient liquid and gas control
- NEMA Enclosure Options: Available with NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, and 4X stainless-steel enclosures for harsh industrial environments
