Description
ASCO 8214G54 Fuel Gas Vent Solenoid Valve Overview
The ASCO 8214G54 is a heavy-duty 2-way, normally open solenoid valve engineered for fuel gas vent applications in commercial and industrial HVAC and combustion systems. With a robust aluminum body, NBR seals, and a NEMA 4X-rated enclosure, this valve delivers reliable, code-compliant performance in demanding environments where moisture, dust, and corrosive conditions are present.
Key Features
- 2-Way, Normally Open (N/O) configuration — valve opens when de-energized for fail-safe fuel gas venting
- 1″ NPT pipe connection for straightforward installation into standard gas piping systems
- 120VAC operating voltage for compatibility with common commercial control circuits
- High flow capacity with a 21 Cv flow coefficient, supporting up to 1,179,000 BTU/hr
- Operating pressure range: 0–5 PSI, suited for low-pressure fuel gas vent service
- Aluminum body construction for lightweight durability and corrosion resistance
- NBR (Buna-N) seals for reliable compatibility with natural gas and similar fuel gases
- NEMA 4X enclosure rating — provides protection against rain, splashing water, dust, and corrosion

Why Choose the ASCO 8214G54?
ASCO is a globally recognized leader in solenoid valve technology, and the 8214G54 reflects that legacy with a design built for safety-critical fuel gas applications. The normally open configuration ensures that the vent path remains open upon power loss — a critical fail-safe feature in gas train and combustion control systems. The NEMA 4X enclosure and aluminum body make it an ideal choice for installations where environmental protection is paramount.
