Compact 2-Way Solenoid Valve for Fluid Control

The ASCO U8256B045V is a normally closed, direct acting solenoid valve built with a brass body and FKM seal. It controls the flow of air, inert gases, light oil, and water in equipment requiring reliable on-off operation. The valve suits indoor applications with an IP66 and NEMA 4, 4X rated enclosure allowing horizontal or vertical mounting.

Upgrade from Manual or Pilot-Operated Valves

This direct acting design replaces manual shut-off valves or larger pilot-operated units where a compact, electrically actuated solution is needed. The jump is worth it when you require fast 20 millisecond response times and automatic control within a 0 to 63 psi differential pressure range. It eliminates the need for minimum operating pressure differentials found in pilot-operated alternatives.

Handles 1/8 Inch Lines Up to 180°F Fluids

The 1/8 inch nominal pipe size and orifice diameter comfortably handle small-bore piping systems carrying media up to 180°F. The 6.3 watt, 120V AC 60 Hz coil provides actuation with 18 inch leads for wiring flexibility. Headroom runs out for applications exceeding the 63 psi pressure differential, requiring higher flow capacities, or demanding outdoor-rated enclosures beyond the NEMA 4X specification.

Questions about this item

What size NPTF thread does the 1/8 in ASCO U8256B045V valve need for mounting?

The valve uses a 1/8 in NPTF thread with NPT thread type for both inlet and outlet connections.

How are the 18 in coil leads connected on the U8256B045V, and what mistake should be avoided?

Connect the 18 in leads directly to a 120V AC 60 Hz supply; the coil is already included, so do not add an external coil.

When should the FKM seals in the U8256B045V be replaced under 180°F fluid conditions?

Inspect the included FKM seals periodically; replace them if leakage appears or after prolonged exposure to 180°F fluids.
