2-WA INTERNAL PILOT-OPERATED
SOLENOID VALVES - GENERAL SERVICE
NORMALL CLOSED OPERATION
1I, 1-1/4I OR 1-1/2I NPT
NOTICE: See separate solenoid installation and maintenance
instructions for information on: Wiring, Solenoid Temperature,
Cause of Improper Operation, Coil or Solenoid Replacement.
DESCRIPTION
Series 8210 valves are 2-way normally closed internal pilot-operated
solenoid valves designed for general service. alves are made of rugged
forged brass. Series 8210 valves are provided with a general
purpose/watertight, open-frame or explosionproof/watertight solenoid.
OPER TION
Normally Closed: alve is closed when solenoid is de-energized;
open when energized.
IMPORT NT: Minimum operating pressure differential is 5 psi.
Manual Operator (optional feature)
Manual operator allows manual operation when desired or during an
electrical power outage. To engage manual operator (open the valve),
turn lever clockwise until it hits a stop. alve will now be in the same
position as when the solenoid is energized. To disengage manual
operator (close the valve), turn lever counterclockwise until it hits a
stop.

Manual Operator
To engage, turn lever
clockwise until it
hits a stop.
CAUTION: For valve to operate electrically, manual
operator lever must be fully rotated counterclockwise.
INST LL TION
Check nameplate for correct catalog number, pressure, voltage,
frequency, and service. Never apply incompatible fluids or exceed
pressure rating of the valve. Installation and valve maintenance to be
performed by qualified personnel.
Future Service Considerations
Provision should be made for performing seat leakage, external
leakage, and operational tests on the valve with a nonhazardous,
noncombustible fluid after disassembly and reassembly.
Temperature Limitations
alves with design change letter K" or P" within the catalog number
(example: 8210K004) have a maximum fluid temperature of 180_F.
Refer to separate solenoid Installation and Maintenance Instructions
for maximum ambient temperature.
Positioning
This valve is designed to perform properly when mounted in any
position. However, for optimum life and performance, the solenoid
should be mounted vertically and upright to reduce the possibility of
foreign matter accumulating in the solenoid base sub-assembly area.
Piping
Connect piping to valve according to markings on valve body. Apply
pipe compound sparingly to male pipe threads only. If applied to
valve threads, the compound may enter the valve and cause
operational difficulty. Avoid pipe strain by properly supporting and
aligning piping. When tightening the pipe, do not use valve or
solenoid as a lever. Locate wrenches applied to valve body or piping
as close as possible to connection point.
IMPORTANT: To protect the solenoid valve, install a
strainer or filter suitable for the service involved in the inlet
side as close to the valve as possible. Clean periodically
depending on service conditions. See ASCO Series 8600,
8601 and 8602 for strainers.
M INTEN NCE
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of death,
serious injury or property damage, turn off electrical
power, depressurize valve, and vent fluid to a safe area
before servicing the valve.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the valve from the pipeline for
repairs.
Cleaning
All solenoid valves should be cleaned periodically. The time between
cleanings will vary depending on the medium and service conditions.
In general, if the voltage to the coil is correct, sluggish valve operation,
excessive noise or leakage will indicate that cleaning is required. In
the extreme case, faulty valve operation will occur and the valve may
fail to open or close. Clean strainer or filter when cleaning the valve.
Preventive Maintenance
SKeep medium flowing through the valve as free from dirt and
foreign material as possible.
SPeriodic exercise of the valve should be considered if ambient or
fluid conditions are such that corrosion, elastomer degradation,
fluid contamination build up, or other conditions that could
impede solenoid valve shifting are possible. The actual frequency
of exercise necessary will depend on specific operating conditions.
A successful operating history is the best indication of a proper
interval between exercise cycles.
SDepending on the medium and service conditions, periodic
inspection of internal valve parts for damage or excessive wear is
recommended. Thoroughly clean all parts. If parts are worn or
damaged, install a complete rebuild kit.

Causes of Improper Operation
SIncorrect Pressure: Check valve pressure. Pressure to valve must
be within range specified on nameplate.
SExcessive Leakage: Disassemble valve and clean all parts. If parts
are worn or damaged, install a complete ASCO Rebuild Kit.
Valve Disassembly
1. Disassemble valve in an orderly fashion using exploded views
for identification and placement of parts. Refer to Figure 1 for
AC construction; Figure 2 for DC construction. For 1I or 1 ¼I
NPT valve construction, see Figure 1; for 1 ½I NPT valve
construction, see Figure 2.
2. Remove solenoid enclosure. See separate instructions.
SFor valves supplied with optional manual operators, see section on
Disassembly of Manual Operator.
3. Unscrew solenoid base sub-assembly from valve body. Then
remove core assembly with core spring and solenoid base
gasket.
4. For normal maintenance (cleaning) it is not necessary to
remove the valve seat. However, for valve seat removal use a
7/16I thin wall socket wrench
5. Remove bonnet screws, valve bonnet, diaphragm spring,
diaphragm assembly, body gasket, body passage eyelet (present
on current valve constructions only) and body passage gasket.
6. All parts are now accessible for cleaning or replacement. If
parts are worn or damaged, install a complete ASCO Rebuild
Kit.
- Service Notice -
When installing a new SCO Rebuild Kit, please be aware that the
diaphragm assembly may not be identical to the diaphragm
assembly in the valve. See Figure 1 for alternate diaphragm
constructions. The two diaphragm constructions are
interchangeable and will perform equally well.
CAUTION: To ensure proper valve operation, install all
parts supplied in ASCO Rebuild Kit. Do not mix old and new
parts.
