Valve Type and Size
The ASCO 8290 is a 2-way angle body piston valve with a 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size and matching orifice diameter. It is designed for indoor or outdoor installations where reliable on-off control of steam or water is required. The normally closed configuration provides fail-safe shutoff when power is removed.
Upgrade Considerations
The 52 Cv rating and 120 psi maximum pressure differential for both steam and water suit applications that exceed the capacity of smaller direct-acting valves. Builders should select this model when the flow coefficient and pressure range align with system calculations, rather than relying on generic sizing rules.
Build Integration
Stainless steel body construction and FKM seals handle fluid temperatures up to 366 Degrees F, reducing the need for exotic alloys in high-temperature lines. The valve operates from zero minimum differential, so it functions in gravity-fed or low-head systems without additional pilot pressure.

Questions about this item
What pipe size and orifice diameter does the ASCO 8290 angle body piston valve require for installation?
The valve uses a 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with a matching 1-1/2 inch orifice diameter for direct inline mounting.
How is the ASCO 8290 normally closed valve installed and what wiring step is often missed?
Install the valve inline with flow direction arrows aligned; the common error is forgetting to connect the coil leads to a compatible voltage source for actuation.
When should the FKM seals in the ASCO 8290 valve be inspected or replaced?
Inspect FKM seals annually or after prolonged exposure to 366 Degrees F fluid temperature; replace if swelling, cracking, or leakage appears at 120 psi operating pressure.
