ASCO Numatics 8003G2 Red Hat II Solenoid Valve

ASCO Red Hat II EF8003G2 solenoid valve is a two‑way, pull‑type operator designed for direct‑acting control of short fluid paths in harsh industrial environments. The EF8003G2 is a 2‑wire, continuous‑duty solenoid with a molded epoxy Red Hat II enclosure rated for hazardous locations (Class I, II, III, Division 1) and available in explosion‑proof configurations. The valve body is brass with Buna‑N seals, a 305 stainless steel core tube, and stainless steel springs, delivering reliable operation in air and water service. The coil is Class F insulated, built for continuous duty, with common configurations at 110–120 VAC 50/60 Hz depending on the coil version. As a two‑way valve, it provides shut‑off and flow control without pilot lines, making it suitable for compact installations in process automation, machine tooling, and industrial water or air circuits where Red Hat II protection is required. The EF8003G2 line is part of ASCO’s RedHat II options (Series 8003) and is used on general‑purpose ASCO valves that demand rugged, watertight or raintight performance in hazardous environments. The combination of brass construction, Buna‑N seals, 305 SS core tube, and epoxy‑encased coil supports durability, chemical compatibility with common fluids, and a compact footprint for tight spaces. This model is widely documented as the 2W pull‑type actuator for ASCO Red Hat II 8003 family, including the EF8003G2 variant.
