The ASCO™ 221 Series is a uniquely engineered slow-closing solenoid valve designed to maximize flow and throughput in demanding commercial applications. Its specialized design effectively mitigates water hammer—a common cause of system damage and pressure spikes—by slowing the disc’s closing speed.
This versatile valve handles both hot and cold water services, simplifying your inventory and maintenance needs. It is a reliable solution trusted for high- and low-temperature applications in laundry, molding, sterilizers, and autoclaves.
Prevents Water Hammer Damage: An integrated snubber slows the valve disc’s closing speed, protecting your piping system from damaging shock waves and pressure spikes.
Simplifies System Design: By significantly reducing pressure peaks, it often eliminates the need for additional external suppressors or controls in most water systems.
Dual Service Capability: A single valve model is suitable for both hot and cold water, reducing parts inventory and increasing application flexibility.
Built for Durability & Easy Maintenance: Features a rugged brass body and is designed for quick, easy servicing to minimize downtime.
Hot Water Performance: Reliably handles hot water service with differential pressures up to 10 bar (150 psi) at 100°C (210°F).
