The ASCO ISB314A301 is a general - purpose direct - acting solenoid valve within the 314 Series (also categorized as the 8314 Series). Engineered for versatile fluid control, it is designed to handle air, water, oil, or inert gases in low to medium - pressure industrial and commercial applications. Its robust design and affordability make it a popular choice for basic automation and process control systems.
Key Features
Design & Construction
Body Material: Durable brass (ISB314A301) for corrosion resistance in non - aggressive media.
Direct - Acting Mechanism: Operates without pilot pressure, ideal for low - pressure systems (including vacuum down to 0 psi).
Normally Closed (NC) Configuration: Default state blocks flow until the solenoid is energized.
Functional Specifications
Port Size: 1/4" NPT (standard for the ISB314A301) for moderate flow rates.
Coil Options: Universal voltage coils (AC/DC) with surge suppression; common voltages include 24V DC, 120V AC, 240V AC.
Seal Material: Buna - N (NBR) for standard media compatibility; compatible with water, air, and non - corrosive oils.
Performance
Pressure Range:
Air/Gas: 0 - 125 psi (0 - 8.6 bar).
Liquids (e.g., water): 0 - 100 psi (0 - 6.9 bar).
Temperature Range: -20°C to 80°C (standard with NBR seals).
Flow Capacity (Cv): ~0.8, suitable for low to medium flow applications.
Certifications
CE compliant; UL and CSA approvals available for specific variants.
