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 "Solenoid Options for Red-Hat II Valves" table, find the desired solenoid option in the left column and the Watt Rating/Class of Coil Insulation in the next column. The choice of prefixes is shown in the next two columns on that horizontal line. The first column indicates the prefix to use if Class F temperature protection is sufficient for your requirements. The second column provides the desired solenoid option plus the higher temperature protection of a Class H coil.

For example, to select an 8262G2 valve with a Class H Open Frame Spade Terminal Solenoid, assuming the voltage to be 120 volts, AC, 60 Hz:
  1. In the Specification Table for Series 8262, the Watt Rating/Class of Coil Insulation is 6.1/F for Catalog Number 8262G2.
  2. Using the Solenoid Options for Red-Hat II Valves table, find the listing for "Open Frame Solenoid with Spade Terminal Coil" in the left column. Then find 6.1/F under AC coils in the next column. Reading horizontally across to the column headed "Class H Coil," you'll find the prefix "OFST." To order, specify Catalog No. OFST8262G2, 120/60. (Note: Always include the voltage and frequency.)
