OPTIONAL ELECTRICAL FEATURES


ASCO Red-Hat valves are available with a wide variety of optional coil and solenoid features. Most of these options can be included in solenoid valves that are approved by UL, FM and CSA.

The options you desire should be identified by the use of catalog number prefixes keyed to the coil for the valve you are specifying.

To identify the proper prefix, use the valve Series Specification Table (see specific valve you are interested in) to determine the Watt Rating/Class of Coil Insulation for the valve you are ordering.

Using the "Coil and Solenoid Enclosure Options for Red-Hat Valves" table, find the option you require in the left column, and read horizontally across the line with your valve's Watt Rating/Class of Coil Insulation to the column headed by the enclosure you desire. Add the prefix designation shown in that column to the catalog number.

For Example, to select the proper prefix for an 8210B54 valve with a Class F spade terminal coil and open frame construction, assuming the voltage to be 120 volts, AC, 60 Hz:
  1. In the Specification Table for Series 8210, the Watt Rating/Class of Coil Insulation is 15.4/F for Catalog Number 8210B54.
  2. Using the Coil and Solenoid Enclosure Options for Red-Hat Valves table, find the listing for "Spade Terminal Class F Coils" in the left column. Then find "15.4/F" under AC coils in the next column, and read horizontally across to the column headed "Open Frame Solenoid" to find the proper prefix, in this case "USF." To order, specify Catalog No. USF8210B54, 120/60. (Note: Always include the voltage and frequency.)
