Applications

Series 210 2-Way Solenoid Valve Applications

The ASCO Series 210 is a pilot-operated 2-way solenoid valve engineered for general-purpose fluid automation. Its flexible design makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where consistent on/off flow control is required.

With configurations available in normally closed and normally open designs, the Series 210 adapts to different operational needs while delivering dependable cycle life and strong sealing performance. Available in brass, lead-free brass, and stainless-steel constructions, it provides compatibility across aggressive media and harsh operating environments.

Common Applications:

  • Water treatment systems
  • Steam and boiler control
  • Air compressors
  • Fuel oil systems
  • Industrial laundries
  • Burner management systems
  • Cryogenic process lines
  • Car wash equipment

Why It Stands Out:

  • High flow capacity for faster process response
  • Broad media compatibility
  • Long service life with low leakage
  • Multiple body materials for application flexibility
  • Wide voltage options for easy integration

Q & A

 

Series 210 2-Way Solenoid Valves Q & A

+What is the ASCO Series 210 solenoid valve used for?
The Series 210 is commonly used for automated on/off control of liquids, gases, steam, and light oils in industrial process systems. It is especially popular in water treatment, compressed air systems, fuel delivery, and boiler applications.
+Is the ASCO 210 valve normally open or normally closed?
It can be configured as either. Normally closed versions remain shut until energized, while normally open models stay open until power is applied. The correct choice depends on the fail-safe system requirements.
+Can the ASCO Series 210 handle steam applications?
Yes. Certain Series 210 models are specifically designed for steam and hot water service, making them suitable for heat exchangers, laundry systems, and industrial boiler controls.
+What materials are available for the ASCO 210 valve body?
The valve is offered in brass, lead-free brass, and stainless steel. Stainless steel is typically preferred for corrosive environments or aggressive media.
+How do I size an ASCO Series 210 solenoid valve?
Sizing depends on flow rate, pressure differential, media type, and pipe connection size. Matching Cv requirements with system demand is critical to avoid undersizing or excessive pressure loss.
