ASCO 8040A18 Solenoid Valve One Quarter Inch NPT 120V

ASCO 8040A18 is a compact gas shutoff solenoid valve with 1/4" NPT pipe connections and a 120-volt coil. The coil draws 6.5 watts, enabling reliable actuation from standard 120 V AC control circuits. As part of ASCO's Series 040 family (the 8040 line), this valve is designed for pilot or main gas control of burners in commercial and industrial equipment, including generators, heating equipment, and ovens. The 1/4" NPT ports support straightforward integration into gas piping, simplifying installation in compact spaces. When energized, the solenoid acts to control gas flow, providing automatic shutoff for safety and sequencing in gas-fired systems. This model is commonly used where a dependable electric shutoff is required to meet safety interlocks or automated control in gas-fired applications. For replacement or maintenance, verify that the 8040A18 matches your system’s coil voltage and power rating and that the 1/4" NPT porting aligns with your piping. It offers a straightforward, low-profile solution for adding electric control to gas supply across a wide range of commercial appliances and equipment.
