Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ASCO from 3G Electric.
What ASCO solenoid valve configurations are available from 3G Electric?
3G Electric supplies ASCO solenoid valves in 2-way/2-position and 3-way/2-position configurations. These include normally closed, normally open, and configurable types. Pipe sizes range from 1/8 in to 3/4 in, with voltage options including 24V DC and 110V/120V AC. Body materials include brass and aluminum, and seal options include NBR and FKM. Coil enclosures vary from watertight to conduit hub, and some models feature DIN connections or remote pilot operation. The catalog includes specific part numbers such as 8212A038L1100F2 and SC8551A001MS.
Are ASCO RedHat coils available as replacement parts?
Yes, 3G Electric stocks ASCO RedHat coils and other ASCO coil types. For example, SKU 1AKJ8 is a Type F solenoid valve coil rated for 110V/120V AC with 6.1 W power consumption, featuring a watertight enclosure without junction box and 18-inch leads. These coils are used to actuate compatible ASCO solenoid valves. When ordering, verify the coil type, voltage, wattage, and enclosure style match the existing valve requirements.
What is included in the ASCO repair kit for solenoid valves?
The ASCO repair kit (SKU 2LBD7, MPN 302329) includes a solenoid base sub-assembly and other components for refurbishing the actuation assembly of compatible solenoid valves. The kit contains a cap retaining clip, retaining core assembly, diaphragm/seat, O-rings, retainer spring, solenoid base sub-assembly, and compression spring. It is UL Listed and compatible with the ASCO model 8210G089. This kit allows on-site repair and restoration of valve function in fluid-control systems.
What media can ASCO solenoid valves control?
ASCO solenoid valves supplied by 3G Electric are suitable for controlling air, inert gases, water, and light oil, depending on the valve model and seal material. For example, valves with FKM seals are used with water and light oil, while NBR seals are common for air and inert gases. Always confirm the valve's pressure and temperature ratings and seal compatibility with the specific media before installation.
How do I select the correct ASCO solenoid valve for my application?
Selection depends on the required configuration (2-way or 3-way, normally closed or normally open), pipe size, voltage, wattage, body material, seal material, and enclosure type. For remote pilot operation, ensure the pilot pressure and media are compatible. The ASCO catalog includes valves for high-pressure and high-temperature indoor applications, such as SKU 20HP29 with a 3/4 in pipe size and 120V AC coil. Review the specifications for each SKU to match your system requirements.
