Parker 06F20C2118BDF Solenoid Valve 3/8 Inch Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 06F20C2118BDF is a direct-acting, normally closed solenoid valve designed to control the flow of fluids, gases, and light oils in a wide range of industrial and mechanical systems. The valve body is constructed from brass with an NBR seal, providing reliable service across media compatibility requirements common in HVAC, plumbing, and process-control applications. It operates across multiple voltage options including 12 Vdc, 24 Vdc, 24/60 Vac, 120 Vdc, 120/60 to 110/50 Vac, and 240/60 to 220/50 Vac, drawing 16 watts. A licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or industrial maintenance professional typically installs this valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial systems where precise on/off fluid or gas control is required. The 3/8 inch NPT port size fits standard pipe thread connections common in hydronic systems, refrigeration circuits, compressed air lines, and light oil supply lines. With a minimum operating pressure differential of 0 psi, it opens reliably even under no-pressure-differential conditions, making it appropriate for gravity-fed or low-pressure systems. Maximum working pressure is rated at 90 psi and maximum operating temperature is 200 degrees F.

Key Features

• Direct-acting design operates at zero minimum pressure differential — no upstream pressure required to open
• Multi-voltage coil accepts 12 Vdc, 24 Vdc, 24/60 Vac, 120 Vdc, 120/60 to 110/50 Vac, and 240/60 to 220/50 Vac
• Brass body with NBR seal for compatibility with fluids, gases, and light oils
• Coil included — ready for installation without sourcing a separate coil assembly
• CSA Certified, UL Listed, and NEMA 4X rated for use in wet or washdown environments
• 16-watt power draw with a Cv factor of 0.85 for predictable flow performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style direct-acting solenoid valve for systems requiring a 3/8 inch NPT normally closed valve rated for fluids, gases, or light oils up to 90 psi and 200 degrees F. Cross-reference ASCO Number 8263G210 for replacement reference.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified industrial mechanic. Shut off system pressure and de-energize all electrical circuits before removing the existing valve or making wiring connections. Verify that the supply voltage matches the coil rating before energizing. NEMA 4X enclosure rating requires that conduit and fittings used at the coil connection maintain the same ingress protection rating to preserve listing compliance.
