Compact 2-Way Solenoid Valve

The ASCO RedHat U8256A104E is a normally closed, direct-acting solenoid valve designed for controlling air or inert gas flow in commercial bathware and light industrial equipment. Its brass body and EPDM seals suit general-purpose fluid handling where a compact, 1/8-inch NPT port is required. The valve operates on standard 110-120V AC power supplies.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The open-frame coil enclosure dissipates heat directly into the surrounding air during normal energised operation, so adequate ventilation around the valve body is expected. AC coil hum is typical for this class of solenoid and will be audible in quiet rooms. Power consumption follows the coil rating for the applied 110-120V AC voltage.

400 psi Maximum Operating Pressure Differential

The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure differential of 400 psi with air or inert gas, which is the single limit that decides whether this part fits the system. It is not rated for fuel gas or fuel oil service, so buyers needing combustible-fluid compatibility must select a different valve. The 0.17 Cv flow coefficient determines the achievable flow rate at a given pressure drop.

Questions about this item

How is the 1/8" NPT solenoid valve installed, and what step is often missed?

Thread the brass body into the 1/8" NPT port using pipe sealant on the male threads only, then tighten with a wrench on the hex flats — not the coil — to avoid cracking the enclosure.

What maintenance will the EPDM-sealed valve need over time?

Inspect the EPDM seals annually for swelling or cracking from fluid exposure; replace the seal kit if leakage appears at the 7/64" orifice or coil interface.

What limit appears first when the valve runs continuously at 120V AC?

The coil enclosure is open-frame, so sustained energising raises coil temperature until thermal limits restrict duty cycle — monitor surface heat during extended operation.
