Parker 04F20O1108ACF Solenoid Valve 1/4 in Npt Normally Open

Product Description

The PARKER 04F20O1108ACF is a direct-acting solenoid valve designed for controlling the flow of fluids, gases, and light oils in industrial and mechanical systems. In its unactuated state the valve is normally open, meaning flow passes freely until the solenoid is energized. The valve body is brass with an NBR seal, rated for a maximum working pressure of 130 psi and a maximum temperature of 180 degrees F. It carries a Cv factor of 0.35 and accepts a wide range of voltage inputs including 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 120Vdc, 24/60Vac, 120/60 to 110/50Vac, and 240/60 to 220/50Vac. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial mechanics install this valve in systems requiring reliable, electrically operated shutoff or flow control.

This valve is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications involving compatible fluids, gases, and light oils. The 1/4 inch NPT port size makes it a common fit in compressed air lines, gas distribution systems, water circuits, and hydraulic control panels where direct-acting solenoid control is required. The broad voltage compatibility allows the same valve to serve both AC and DC control circuits without substitution. At 11 watts and 0.5 pounds, it is compact enough for tight panel or manifold installations.

Key Features

• Direct-acting normally open design — flow passes without power, closes on energization
• 1/4 inch NPT port with 1/8 inch orifice for precise flow control (Cv 0.35)
• Brass body with NBR seal for compatibility with fluids, gases, and light oils
• Multi-voltage coil: 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 120Vdc, 24/60Vac, 120/60 to 110/50Vac, 240/60 to 220/50Vac
• Rated to 130 psi maximum working pressure and 180 degrees F maximum temperature
• CSA Certified, UL Listed, and NEMA 4X rated for wet and corrosive environments
• Minimum operating pressure differential of zero — functions at no-differential conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-acting solenoid valve for systems handling fluids, gases, and light oils with 1/4 inch NPT porting. Also referenced by ASCO Number 8262G262. Note: solenoid coils are not included with this valve body.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified industrial mechanic. Shut off all supply pressure and de-energize the control circuit before removing or installing the valve. Verify voltage and frequency of the control circuit match one of the rated input options before wiring. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating permits outdoor and washdown locations, but all electrical connections must comply with applicable NEC requirements for the installation environment.
