Parker 08FS5C2432ACF Solenoid Valve 1/2 Inch Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 08FS5C2432ACF is a direct-acting, normally closed solenoid valve designed for precise fluid control in industrial and commercial systems. Built with a brass body and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seal, it handles demanding media including hot water and steam at operating pressures up to 80 psi and temperatures up to 320 degrees F. The valve features a 1/2-inch NPT port with a 0.5-inch orifice and a Cv rating of 3.6, making it well-suited for moderate-flow applications. It is compatible with a wide range of supply voltages and draws 11 watts. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters typically install this valve in hydronic, steam, and process piping systems.

This solenoid valve is rated for hot water and steam service, making it a common selection in commercial HVAC hydronic heating systems, steam distribution lines, and light industrial process control applications. The direct-acting design means it operates without a minimum pressure differential requirement for actuation, though the rated minimum operating pressure differential is 1 psi. Its multi-voltage coil compatibility and CSA, UL, and NEMA 4X ratings make it adaptable to a broad range of panel and field installations in both indoor and protected outdoor environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-acting solenoid valve for hot water and steam piping applications with 1/2-inch NPT connections. Verify coil voltage selection against the control circuit before ordering, as solenoid coils are not included with this valve body.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and allow the line to cool before removing or installing the valve. Ensure the selected coil voltage matches the control circuit supply before energizing. In steam applications, confirm that piping supports, unions, and drip legs are properly configured per system design requirements.
