DESCRIPTION

Series 8345 valves are 2- position 4-way solenoid

valves designed for air or inert gas service. Valve

bodies are made of rugged brass. T e valves may

be provided wit a low power or intrinsically safe

solenoid.

OPERATION

Solenoid De-energized: Flow is from Pressure P

to Cylinder A and from Cylinder B to Ex aust EB.

Ex aust EA is closed.

Solenoid Energized: Flow is from Pressure P to

Cylinder B and from Cylinder A to Ex aust EA.

Ex aust EB is closed.

IMPORTANT: Minimum operating pressure

differential is 10 psi

INSTALLATION

C eck nameplate for correct catalog number,

pressure, voltage, frequency, and service. Never

apply incompatible fluids or exceed pressure

rating of t e valve. Installation and valve

maintenance to be performed by qualified

personnel.

Temperature Limitations

Fluid and ambient temperature range: -4F to

+140F.

Future Service Considerations

Provision s ould be made for performing seat

leakage, external leakage, and operational tests on

t e valve wit a non azardous, noncombustible

fluid after disassembly and reassembly.

Positioning

Valve may be mounted in any position.

Mounting

For mounting valve body refer to Figure 1.

Piping

T ere are two ex aust ports EA and EB. Ex aust

ports EA and EB may be connected to a common

ex aust if t e air or inert gas cannot be ex austed

directly to t e atmosp ere. Connect piping or

tubing to valve according to markings on valve

body. Refer to flow diagrams in OPERATION

section.

CAUTION: To avoid damage or accidental

disengagement of cartridge assembly from valve

body, hold cartridge assembly securely by

wrenching flats when installing or removing

piping at Port EB

Apply pipe compound sparingly to male pipe

t reads only. If applied to valve t reads, t e

compound may enter t e valve and cause operaĆ

tional difficulty. Avoid pipe strain by properly

supporting and aligning piping. W en tig tening

t e pipe, do not use valve or solenoid as a lever.

Locate wrenc es applied to valve body or piping as

close as possible to connection point.

To insure proper operation of t e valve, t e

pressure and ex aust lines must be full area

wit out restriction. A minimum differential

pressure (10 psi), as stamped on t e nameplate,

must be maintained between pressure and ex aust

at t e moment of s ifting. Air reservoirs must ave

adequate capacity to maintain t is minimum

pressure during s ifting. To c eck pressure during

s ifting, install a pressure gauge in t e pressure

piping as close to t e valve as possible.

IMPORTANT: These solenoid valves are intended

for use on clean dry air or inert gas, filtered to 50

micrometres or better The dew point of the media

should be at least 10C (18F) below the minimum

temperature to which any portion of the clean

air/inert gas system could be exposed to prevent

freezing If lubricated air is used, the lubricants

must be compatible with Buna N elastomers

Diester oils may cause operational problems

Instrument air in compliance with ANSI/ISA

Standard S7 3-1975 (R1981) exceeds the above

requirements and is, therefore, an acceptable

media for these valves

Flow Controls (Speed or Metering Devices)

Flow control valves may be added to control

cylinder speed. If used, t ese flow control valves

must be located in cylinder piping between t e

solenoid valve and t e cylinder.

IMPORTANT: Do not install flow controls (speed

or metering devices) or any type of restrictive

device in either the Pressure P (inlet) or the Main

Exhaust EA or Pilot Exhaust EB (outlet) ports of

the valve Restricting any of these lines may cause

valve malfunction

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To prevent the possibility of

personal injury or property damage, turn off

electrical power, depressurize valve, and vent fluid

to a safe area before servicing the valve

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove t e valve

body from t e pipeline for repairs. However,

piping or tubing must be removed from Pressure P

and Ex aust EB ports.

Cleaning

All solenoid valves s ould be cleaned periodically.

T e time between cleanings will vary depending on

t e medium and service conditions. In general, if

t e voltage to t e coil is correct, sluggis valve

operation, excessive noise or leakage will indicate

t at cleaning is required. In t e extreme case,

faulty valve operation will occur and t e valve may

fail to s ift. Clean filter w en cleaning t e valve.

Preventive Maintenance

Keep t e medium flowing t roug t e valve as

free from dirt and foreign material as possible.

W ile in service, t e valve s ould be operated at

least once a mont to insure proper opening and

closing.

Depending on t e medium and service

condition, periodic inspection of internal valve

parts for damage or excessive wear is

recommended. T oroug ly clean all parts. If

parts are worn or damaged, install a complete

ASCO Rebuild Kit.

Causes of Improper Operation

Incorrect Pressure: C eck valve pressure.

Pressure to valve must be wit in range specified

on nameplate.

Excessive Leakage: Disassemble valve and

install a complete ASCO Rebuild Kit.

Valve Disassembly

1. Disassemble valve in an orderly fas ion using

exploded view for identification and placement

of parts. Refer to Figure 3 on page 4 of 4.

2. Remove piping from Pressure P and Ex aust

EB ports.

3. Remove solenoid, see separate instructions.

4. Unscrew cartridge assembly from valve body.

T en remove cartridge gasket from valve body

and orifice gasket from base of cartridge

5. Unscrew end cap and remove end cap gasket,

body gasket, and disc from valve body cavity.

6. Unscrew end plug and remove end plug gasket

and piston wit piston u-cup from valve body

cavity.

7. Clean valve and install a complete ASCO

Rebuild Kit.

Valve Reassembly

open end facing outward, in t e direction of t e

end plug.

3. Install end plug gasket on end plug.

4. Install piston wit u-cup, end plug gasket, and

end plug into t e valve body. Torque end plug

5. Install end cap gasket on end cap. T en posiĆ

tion body gasket and disc in valve body cavity

and install t e end cap wit t e end cap gasket.

Torque end cap to 200 ± 10 in-lbs [22,6 ± 1,1

Nm].

6. Position cartridge gasket in valve body.

7. Install orifice gasket in recess in base of

cartridge assembly.

8. T read cartridge assembly wit orifice gasket

into valve body. Torque cartridge assembly to

175 ± 25 in-lbs [19,8 ± 2,8 Nm].

9. Install solenoid see separate instructions.

10. Make up piping to pressure P and pilot ex aust

EB ports and electrical connection to solenoid.

WARNING: To prevent the possibility of

personal injury or property damage, check valve

for proper operation before returning to service

Also perform internal seat and external leakage

tests with a nonhazardous, noncombustible fluid

11. Restore line pressure and electrical power supĆ

ply to valve.

12. After maintenance is completed, operate t e

valve a few times to be sure of proper

operation.
