ASCO 8220G405 pilot-operated solenoid valve
This brass-bodied valve controls hot water and steam flow with a 1/2 inch NPTF connection and normally closed operation. PTFE seals handle fluid temperatures up to 210°F for water and 300°F for steam. The pilot-operated diaphragm and piston design provides a flow coefficient of 4.7 for automated fluid control.
Replaces manual or worn shut-off valves in steam
The jump is worth it when a system needs reliable, electrically actuated flow control with a watertight coil enclosure and Class H insulation. It suits applications requiring automated shut-off where ambient temperatures stay between 14°F and 140°F. The 150 psi water and 50 psi steam pressure differentials cover many commercial heating and process loops.
Practical limits of the pilot-operated interface
A minimum pressure differential is required to shift the diaphragm and piston, so very low-pressure systems may not actuate reliably. The coil draws 18 watts and needs a 1/2 inch conduit connection for wiring. Maximum steam pressure differential is capped at 50 psi, restricting use in high-pressure steam mains. Ambient temperatures above 140°F can degrade coil insulation over time.

Questions about this item
What pipe size and thread type does the 8220G405 valve require for mounting?
The valve uses 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with NPTF inlet and outlet connections.
What electrical connection step is often missed when installing the 8220G405 solenoid valve?
The coil requires a 1/2 inch conduit connection with 18 inch leads that must be properly sealed in the watertight enclosure.
Which seals on the 8220G405 will need replacement after extended steam service at 300°F?
The PTFE diaphragm and piston seals are the wear items that degrade under repeated high-temperature steam cycles.
