  • Watertight coil enclosure with 18 in leads simplifies installation
  • Maximum 540 psi differential for air and inert gas applications

Direct-acting solenoid valve

The ASCO 8262R232 is a normally closed, direct-acting solenoid valve built for controlling air, inert gases, light oil and water. Its brass body with NBR seals suits industrial fluid-control systems that require reliable on-off operation across a wide voltage range.

Upgrading from pilot-operated valves

This model replaces pilot-operated units where minimum operating pressure cannot be guaranteed, because it functions from 0 psi differential up to 540 psi for air, 360 psi for light oil and 395 psi for water. The jump is worth it when media temperatures reach 180 °F or ambient conditions drop to -13 °F.

1/4 in NPTF and wide-voltage coil

Practical limits come from the 1/8 in orifice and 0.35 Cv, which restrict maximum flow capacity. The 100-240 V AC/DC coil at 60 Hz draws 2 W and uses a watertight enclosure with 1/2 in conduit and 18 in leads, so no separate junction box is needed.

Questions about this item

What pipe thread does the 1/4 in NPTF connection require?

The valve uses 1/4 in NPTF threads on both inlet and outlet with a centre-line pipe size of 2-3/4 in.

How do I wire the 100-240 V AC/DC coil and what mistake should I avoid?

Connect the 18 in leads through the 1/2 in conduit; the coil is watertight and has no junction box, so do not look for one.

When should I replace the NBR seals on this 8262R232 valve?

Replace the Buna-N seals if leakage appears or after prolonged exposure near the 180 °F media temperature limit.
