| The ASCO 8215G30 is a solenoid-operated, normally closed shutoff valve designed for precise control of low-pressure gas flow in HVAC equipment, particularly gas furnaces and boilers. When inactive, the valve remains shut, stopping gas flow entirely. This "normally closed" behavior ensures safety by default. To open the valve and allow gas flow, an electrical signal of the specified voltage (in this case, 120V) needs to be applied. This valve is constructed with a lightweight yet durable aluminum body and utilizes resilient soft seats for tight shutoff, minimizing leakage when closed. The 3/4-inch pipe thread (NPT) connections simplify installation into existing gas lines. The ASCO 8215G30 is suitable for a pressure range of 0-50 psi and boasts a maximum regulatory capacity of 247,500 BTU, making it compatible with most residential gas heating systems. With a weight of only 1.8 pounds, it's easy to handle during installation or maintenance. By providing a reliable and controllable shut-off mechanism, the ASCO 8215G30 valve enhances the safety and efficiency of your HVAC system. It ensures a complete gas shut-off when the heating system is inactive and allows for precise control of gas flow during operation. This translates to improved safety, efficient fuel usage, and potentially lower energy bills. |
