NORMALL CLOSED OPERATION 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 & 3/4 NPT
5/16, 3/8 AND 3/4 ORIFICE - HIGH PRESSURE SERVICE
NOTICE: See separate solenoid installation and maintenance
instructions for information on: Wiring, Solenoid Temperature,
Cause of Improper Operation, Coil, or Solenoid Replacement.
DESCRIPTION
Series 8223 valves are 2-way normally closed piston type solenoid valves
designed for high pressure service. These valves are made of rugged
brass or stainless steel with Teflon* or Buna elastomers depending
upon requirements. Series 8223 valves may be provided with a general
āpurpose/watertight, open-frame, orā watertight/explosionproof solenoid.
OPER TION
Normally Closed: Valve is closed when solenoid is de-energized;
open when energized.
IMPORT NT: Minimum operating pressure differential for 1/2
and 3/4 NPT is 25 psi.
IMPORT NT: Minimum operating pressure differential for 1/4
and 3/8 NPT is 10 psi.
INST LL TION
Check nameplate for correct catalog number, pressure, voltage,
frequency, and service. ever 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: 8223K023) have a maximum fluid temperature of 200_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 or tubing 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.
CAUTION: 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,
personal injury or property damage, turn off electrical
power, depressurize valve, and vent fluid to a safe area
before servicing the valve.
OTE: 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, see separate instructions.
3. Unscrew solenoid base sub-assembly from valve body. Then
remove body gasket and core assembly with core spring.
4. For normal valve maintenance (cleaning and/or rebuilding) it is
not necessary to remove the valve seat.
5. Unscrew valve end cap from valve body. For ¾I PT cast
stainless steel valves, remove six bolts and lockwashers using a ½I
wrench, then remove valve bonnet.
6. Remove end cap gasket, or bonnet gasket (¾I PT stainless steel
construction), piston spring and piston assembly. To remove
piston assembly, a small hole is provided through the wall of the
piston assembly. Hook an appropriate tool or a bent piece of wire
in hole and pull piston assembly form valve body.
7. All parts are now accessible to clean or replace. If parts are worn
or damaged, install a complete ASCO Rebuild Kit. Clean internal
passage ways in the valve body.

Valve Reassembly
1. Lubricate all gaskets, piston ring, rider rings and piston u-cups
with DOW COR I Gr 111 Compound lubricant or an
equivalent high-grade silicone grease.
2. Assemble valve as shown in Figure 1 below. See Torque Chart for
torque values required. For ¾I PT cast stainless steel
construction, hand thread screws into valve body and torque in a
crisscross manner.
3. Install solenoid, see separate instructions, and make electrical
hookup.
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of death,
personal 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.
4. Restore line pressure and electrical power supply to valve.
5. 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 umber and Serial umber of the valve(s) for
which they are intended.
