Product Overview
ASCO EV 8551 Explosion Proof Encapsulated Coils
ASCO EV 8551 explosion proof encapsulated coils are part of the hazardous area solenoid valve range suitable for use in ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous area applications.
The ASCO EV 8551 is a compact spool valve that is available in single and dual solenoid constructions.
The solenoid valve has a unique design that combines hard T-seals and flexible o-rings, provides bubble-tight shutoff, resistance to dirt and multimillion cycle life controlling air or inert gas.
EV 8551 is also available in low power and intrinsically safe construction.
The nominal ambient working temperature ranges for the ASCO EV 8551 hazardous area solenoid valve are Aluminum AC: 5˚F to 125˚F (-15˚C to 52˚C) DC: 5˚F to 104˚F (-15˚C to 40˚C), Brass AC: -40˚F to 125˚F (-40˚C to 52˚C) and Stainless Steel DC: -40˚F to 104˚F (-40˚C to 40˚C)
