ASCO EF8345G001 RED HAT 110/120V Solenoid Valve 1/4″ NPT 10-150 PSI

EF8345G001 Product Overview:

The ASCO RED HAT EF8345G001 is a high-performance 4-way, 2-position pilot-operated solenoid valve designed to work well in typical service situations. This small brass valve works with 110/120V AC (50/60 Hz) and can handle pressures from 10 to 150 PSI in air, inert gas, water, and light oil.

The EF8345G001 is made for industrial settings with limited space. It can be mounted in any position, making it easy to install in pneumatic systems or actuator controls. It has an explosion-proof and watertight solenoid enclosure that meets NEMA 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 7, and 9 certifications, which means it can handle tough conditions.

ASCO ef8345g001 Technical Specifications

Key Features:

1) The 4-way design is small and compact. It has 1/4″ NPT ports and a 4/2-position single solenoid valve that lets you control double-acting cylinders up to 4″ in diameter. This makes it perfect for pneumatic systems with limited space.

2) Wide Pressure Range: It can handle 10–150 PSI of air, inert gases, water, and light oil (50 SSU max), with a minimum 10 PSI difference for reliable actuation.

3) Works with 110V/50Hz or 120V/60Hz AC power and has a 10.1W Class F coil for low-heat, energy-efficient performance.

4) Strong Construction: The brass body and strong NBR/PA seals can handle temperatures up to 180°F (82°C) AC, making them last a long time in tough industrial settings.

5) Dangerous Place The explosion-proof Red Hat solenoid enclosure has been certified to meet NEMA 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 7, and 9 standards, as well as CSA, UL, and CE standards.

6) Low-Flow Precision: With a 0.09 Cv rating and an orifice size of 1/16″ to 3/32″, this valve lets you manage the flow for automation and maritime equipment that is handled by a pilot.

7) Flexible Installation: Can be mounted in any position and has a threaded conduit hub for ease wiring, which cuts down on setup time for OEMs and maintenance.

Applications in Industrial and Marine Environments

1) Pneumatic Actuator Control: This controls double-acting cylinders (up to 4″ in diameter) in automated machines, allowing for exact extension and retraction on assembly lines for manufacturing.​

2) Pilot Actuation Systems: In larger pneumatic circuits for industrial automation, HVAC controls, and process instrumentation, they work as a reliable pilot valve.​

3) Marine Equipment Applications: Controls the air and fluid systems in marine tech settings including pumps, winches, and diagnostic instruments aboard ships and offshore sites.

4) Diagnostic and Testing Equipment: Controls low-flow air or inert gas in medical equipment, lab instruments and quality control stations that need to be safe in dangerous places.

5) Processing Line Automation: Controls valves in food processing, packaging lines and water treatment systems that deal with air, water or light oils at pressures up to 150 PSI.

6) OEM Industrial Machinery: Works with bespoke pneumatic panels to control robots, conveyor belts, and compressors in factories and warehouses.
