ASCO

ASCO RedHat coils are a specific series designed for universal replacement across multiple ASCO valve families. They feature a standardized mounting interface and are available in watertight, explosion-proof, and general-purpose enclosures. RedHat coils typically have higher power ratings (e.g., 10.1 W) and are offered with 18-inch leads or DIN connectors. Standard ASCO coils are often valve-specific and may have different mounting dimensions or electrical connections. When replacing a coil, verify the voltage, wattage, and enclosure type against the valve's specifications.

Yes, ASCO angle-body piston valves (e.g., 8290 series) are suitable for steam service when equipped with the correct seal material. The FKM (Viton) seals in the models stocked by 3G Electric are rated for steam temperatures up to 180°C (356°F). These valves are air-operated and require a separate pilot valve for actuation. For continuous steam applications, ensure the valve body material (bronze) is compatible with the steam quality and that the operating pressure does not exceed the valve's rated maximum (typically 150 psi for steam).

3G Electric stocks ASCO solenoid valves in common industrial voltages: 24V DC, 110V AC, 120V AC, 220V AC, and 240V AC. Some models are configurable for dual voltage ranges (e.g., 100-240V AC). Coils are also available separately in these voltages. For DC applications, verify the coil's inrush current and duty cycle. For AC applications, ensure the frequency (50/60 Hz) matches the coil rating.

Many ASCO solenoid valves stocked by 3G Electric are rated for outdoor use. For example, the angle-body piston valves (8290 series) are specified for outdoor operating environments. Solenoid valves with watertight coil enclosures (e.g., NEMA 4 or IP65) are also suitable for outdoor installation. Check the product specifications for the coil enclosure type and operating environment rating. For direct exposure to rain or washdown, select valves with watertight enclosures and appropriate conduit connections.

To select the correct ASCO replacement coil, you need the valve's manufacturer part number or the coil's part number. Key parameters: voltage (AC or DC), wattage (e.g., 10.1 W), enclosure type (watertight, explosion-proof, general purpose), and electrical connection (leads, DIN, junction box). ASCO RedHat coils are often interchangeable across valve families, but verify the mounting dimensions (e.g., F size) and the valve's orifice size. 3G Electric's product listings include coil specifications; cross-reference with the valve's nameplate data.

For ASCO valves not currently in stock at 3G Electric, lead times vary based on the model and quantity. Standard solenoid valves and coils typically ship within 2-4 weeks from Emerson's distribution centers. Custom or non-standard configurations (e.g., special voltages, exotic materials) may require 6-8 weeks. 3G Electric can provide a specific lead time upon request. For urgent needs, check the in-stock inventory, which covers common pipe sizes (1/4 in to 1-1/4 in) and voltages.
