NOTICE: See separate solenoid installation and

or Solenoid Replacement.
DESCRIPTION
Series 8030 valves are 2-way normally closed direct lift
solenoid valves designed for low pressure service Valves are
made of rugged forged brass or stainless steel Series 8030
valves may be provided with a general purpose/watertight,
open-frame or watertight/explosionproof solenoid
OPER TION
Normally Closed: Valve is closed when solenoid is
de-energized; open when energized
NOTE: No minimum operating pressure differential
required.
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 stem clockwise until it hits
a stop Valve will now be in the same position as when the
solenoid is energized To disengage manual operator (close
the valve), turn stem counterclockwise until it hits a stop
CAU ION: For valve to operate electrically, manual
operator stem 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
Valves with design change letter K" or P" within the
catalog number (example: 8030K043) have a maximum fluid
temperature of 180_F Refer to separate solenoid
Installation and Maintenance Instructions for maximum
ambient temperature
Positioning
Valve is designed to perform properly when mounted in any
position However, for optimum life and performance, the
solenoid should be mounted vertical and upright to reduce
the possibility of foreign matter accumulating in the
solenoid base sub-assembly area
Mounting

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
CAU ION: o 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.

WARNING: o 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
2 Remove solenoid enclosure See separate instructions
3 Unscrew solenoid base sub-assembly from valve body
and remove body gasket
4 Remove bonnet screws (4) and valve bonnet
5 Remove body gasket, core/disc sub-assembly and core
spring
6 For normal maintenance, it is not necessary to remove
or disassemble the manual operator unless external
leakage is evident If required, unscrew manual
operator bonnet from valve body and remove gasket
Remove stem pin, stem and stem gasket
7 All parts are now accessible for cleaning or
replacement If parts are worn or damaged, install a
complete ASCO Rebuild Kit
Valve Reassembly
1 Lubricate all gaskets with DOW CORNINGr 111
Compound lubricant or an equivalent high-grade
silicone grease
2 Install body gasket into valve body
3 For valves provided with a manual operator,
reassembly in reverse order of disassembly Torque
manual operator bonnet to 75 ± 10 in-lbs [8,5 ± 1,1
Nm]
4 Install core/disc sub-assembly and core spring into
valve body
5 Replace valve bonnet and bonnet screws (4) Torque
bonnet screws evenly in a crisscross manner to 110 ± 10
in-lbs [12,4 ± 1,1 Nm]
6 Replace solenoid base gasket and hand thread
solenoid base sub-assembly into valve body Then
torque solenoid base sub-assembly to 175 ± 25 in-lbs
[19,8 ± 2,8 Nm]
7 Install solenoid See separate instructions
WARNING: o prevent the possibility of
death, serious injury or property damage,
check valve for proper operation before
returning to service. Also perform internal
seat and external leakage tests with a
nonhazardous, noncombustible fluid.
8 Restore line pressure and electrical power supply to
valve
9 After maintenance is completed, operate the valve a
few times to be sure of proper operation A metallic
click signifies the solenoid is operating
ORDERING INFORM TION
FOR SCO REBUILD KITS
Parts marked with an asterisk (*) in the exploded view are
supplied in Rebuild Kits When Ordering Rebuild Kits for
ASCO valves, order the Rebuild Kit number stamped on the
valve nameplate If the number of the kit is not visible, order
by indicating the number of kits required, and the Catalog
Number and Serial Number of the valve(s) for which they
are intended
