ASCO Solenoid Valves 212 Series

By Chris Dodds : estimated reading time 3 minutes

ASCO have developed the 212 series of solenoid valves to include 3/8” and 1” pipe sizes.

This ASCO solenoid valve range is specifically designed for use in commercial and industrial applications, such as in conditioning systems and water purification.

The ASCO 212 series of solenoid valves has the highest pressure (up to 150 psi) and highest temperature ratings (180°F) on the valve market.

The ASCO 212 solenoid valve series has NSF International Certification accredited by the Standard Council of Canada and ANSI: NSF 61 for
drinking water, NSF 169 (special purpose food equipment and devices) and NSF 372 (lead-free).

ASCO 212 solenoid valves are designed to meet the criteria for section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).

ASCO Solenoid Valves 212 Series

Applications

The 212 series of ASCO solenoid valves are ideal for the following applications:

• Food & Beverage – enables money to be saved and offers enhanced taste
• Humidification – reduces scaling and dusting
• Boilers – more energy efficient
• Restaurants – improves steamer operations

ASCO series 212 composite solenoid valves utilise the FasN Connection System providing reliable and secure connections.

ASCO 212 Series Composite Solenoid Valves

ASCO introduces the new 212 series composite valve – the 212 series composite valve is designed for use in water purification and water treatment applications, specifically within the membrane based filtration system application. The new ASCO 212 series composite valve is ideal for use in mid-size Reverse Osmosis Systems applications where lead free and NSF approved constructions are required. The ASCO 212 series composite valves are available in 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ pipe sizes.

ASCO 212 Composite Solenoid Valve

What Is Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse Osmosis is a water filtration process in which dissolved inorganic solids (such as salts) are removed from a solution (such as water) – this is accomplished by household water pressure pushing the tap water through a semi-permeable membrane.

ASCO Valves

A solenoid Valve Selection Guide

This Blog written with the support of ASCO is purposely designed to make it easier to select and order the right solenoid valve for your application from the world’s leading manufacturer of solenoid valves and air operated valves.

T&D are an ASCO Numatics Authorised Distribution Channel.

To assist in selecting the proper valve for your application, we recommend 2 approaches.

First, if you know the ASCO valve series that meets your specification, you can go directly to the appropriate page as listed in the Numerical Listing, or the Main Index:

ASCO Valves – Valve Selection by Alphanumerical System 

If you do not know the ASCO solenoid valve series, please refer to the Condensed Listing, which provides an overview of key specifications for all General Service ASCO solenoid valves. This listing is organised by valve type and operation, then indexed by pipe size, flow factor and other vital specifications.

ASCO Valves – Valve Selection by Condensed Listing 

If you are unable to locate the required solenoid valve in the Condensed Listing, refer to the individual valve series in the main ASCO catalogue for a more complete listing of types of valves available.

The Condensed Listing covers:

• 2-Way/2 Position Valves
• 3-Way/2 Position Valves
• 4-Way/2 or 3 Position Valves

ASCO Valves

THE Selection Process

In order to select an ASCO solenoid valve, you will need the following application information:

• Valve Type : 2-Way, 3-Way, 4-Way valve
• Operation:  Normally open, Normally closed, Universal
• Pipe Size:  Pipe size or flow requirement
• Media:  Fluid to be controlled
• Pressure:  Minimum and maximum operating pressure
• Temperature:  Minimum and maximum fluid and ambient temperature (if unusual, contact technical support)
• Voltage:  Voltage and frequency to be used

ASCO Valves – 2000+ Products, Same Day Ship..

Once you have determined the above application information, the next steps can navigate you to the appropriate solenoid valve in the ASCO catalogue.

An ASCO solenoid valve selection example:

Turn to the Condensed Listing section relevant to the Valve Type and Operation required for example, 2-Way, Normally Closed valve.

Locate the family of ASCO valves corresponding to the Pipe Size of the valve desired for example, 1/8″ valve.

Select the applicable Media and relevant Pressure rating in the “Operating Pressure Differential” column for AC or DC, respectively for example, 300 psi for water, maximum AC. If the field of possible ASCO valves has not been narrowed to one valve at this point, the Cv Flow Factor, Orifice Size, Maximum Fluid Temperature or Watt Rating (power consumption) may then be used as additional deciding or filtering factors.

After the proper ASCO valve Catalogue Number has been identified, refer to the “Page No.” column to find more specifications on any given solenoid valve series, for example ASCO 8210 series.

Solenoid Valve Terminology

ASCO Solenoid Valves

• Bleed-orifice or Bleed Hole

Small orifice or channel, most often located in the diaphragm or piston of pilot-operated solenoid valves, to allow the inlet flow to pressurize the top side of the diaphragm or piston.

• Bonnet

Screwed plug or bolted cover on the valve body, on which the core tube with inner parts is fitted.

• Coil

Electrical part of the solenoid valve consisting of a spool wound with insulated copper wire which creates a magnetic flux when energized.

• Core

The soft-magnetic stainless steel part of the solenoid which is moved by magnetic forces (flux generated by the coil).

• Core Spring

Spring which returns the core to the original position when the coil is de-energized.

• Core Tube

Stainless steel tube, closed at one end, which isolates the media in the valve from the external solenoid parts.

• Disc, Valve Disc

Sealing material on the core or disc-holder, which shuts off the seat orifice.

• Disc-holder

Valve part, actuated by the core, in which a sealing disc is inserted.

• Main Orifice

Principle passage between inlet and outlet of the valve.
