Specifications
Solenoid Enclosures: Valves listed in this series have Red-Hat II molded epoxy solenoids. Red-Hat II valves are identified by the change letter "G" in their catalog numbers, e.g., 8344G70, and are shown in red.

Standard Enclosures:
Red-Hat II -- Types 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4 and 4X Combination General Purpose and Watertight

Optional Enclosures:
Red-Hat II -- Types 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 7 and 9 Combination Explosionproof and Watertight. To order, add prefix "EF" to catalog number.

Additional constructions are available. The Optional Features Section contains descriptions and ordering information for: Open Frame Solenoids · Junction Box Enclosures · Panel Mount Constructions.


Dual Solenoid Operation:
Minimum coil on-time for dual solenoid valves is 0.3 second on air service and 1.0 second on liquids.
Caution: Do not energize both solenoids simultaneously.

Electrical: Standard Voltages: 24, 120, 240, 480 volts, AC, 60 Hz (or 110, 220 volts, AC, 50 Hz)
6, 12, 24, 120, 240 volts, DC

Other voltages are available when required.

Coil: Continuous duty molded Class F.

Nominal Ambient Temperature Ranges: AC Construction: 32°F to 125°F.
DC Construction: 32°F to 104°F.


IMPORTANT: A minimum operating pressure differential must be maintained between the pressure and exhaust ports. Supply and exhaust piping must be full area, unrestricted. ASCO flow controls and other similar components must be installed in the cylinder lines only.

Valve Parts in Contact with Fluids:
Body -- Brass
Core Tube -- 305 s.s.
Core and Plugnut -- 430F s.s.
Springs -- 302 s.s. and 17-7PH s.s.
Shading Coil -- Copper
Pilot Seat Cartridge and Disc Holder -- Acetal
Shaft Gasket -- Lead/Copper

Approvals: CSA certified.

Ordering Information: Important: We must have catalog number, voltage and Hertz, operating pressure and fluid handled. Use strainers with Solenoid Valves.

Notes: 1 - 25 psi minimum on Light Oil Service.
2 - For best results, do not use valve rated 250 psi on mainline pressure of less than 125 psi.
3 - On 50 Hertz service, the watt rating for the 6.1/F solenoid is 8.1 watts.
