Selecting ASCO SCE215C073.230/50 for the Correct 215 high-flow gas shut-off solenoid valve Duty

ASCO SCE215C073.230/50 is specified for high-capacity on/off control for gas and air systems. The correct use of SCE215C073.230/50 depends on the confirmed product identity and installed-system conditions, not on a partial prefix. This page focuses on selection and integration points that a purchaser or maintenance engineer should verify before ordering.

Product role and application context

ASCO Series 215 uses a lightweight aluminum body and pilot-operated construction for high-flow gas shut-off duties. The manufacturer describes zero-differential operation and resilient soft seating; confirm the exact product build and approved medium before applying it to a safety function. In the installed system, SCE215C073.230/50 should be evaluated together with its upstream and downstream equipment, signal or process interface, and required operating state. Record the full identifier for ASCO SCE215C073.230/50 so that future service work starts from the actual configuration.

Construction and system fit

This product family is intended for gas shut-off and heating-equipment service, with vacuum and oxygen service also described in the manufacturer material. The complete valve build—not the series number alone—determines flow direction, normally open or closed state, pressure envelope, seal compatibility and electrical approval. When reviewing SCE215C073.230/50, confirm the surrounding equipment and operating envelope rather than relying on family-level similarity. A good fit means the product, wiring or piping, control strategy and maintenance method work together as documented.

Model parameters

Use the following confirmed identification points for the primary model only. These are not a substitute for the current manufacturer data sheet or the complete equipment record.

Checks before ordering

Compare the equipment nameplate with SCE215C073.230/50, then verify pipe size, valve state, body and seal materials, voltage and frequency, ambient and fluid temperature, pressure differential, flow demand and the required safety certification. Do not infer an unverified suffix or treat a similar coil code as interchangeable. Match SCE215C073.230/50 against a readable nameplate or approved bill of material. Confirm revision, connection and interface details, and ask the supplier to validate current availability where the exact build is not clear.

Installation and commissioning

Before installation, confirm the flow arrow, line cleanliness, mounting orientation and access for coil removal. Wire the coil through the specified protective device and verify that the control circuit fails to the state required by the burner or process risk assessment. For ASCO SCE215C073.230/50, record settings, wiring or connection details and the result of functional tests. Verify the device within the full loop, station or process—not as an isolated part—and return it to service only after the expected operating state is proven.

Maintenance and replacement planning

During commissioning, cycle SCE215C073.230/50 under the real operating conditions and check response, leakage and electrical heating. Record the installed code and test results. For replacement planning, use the full code and confirm current availability and approvals with the supplier. Keep SCE215C073.230/50 in the maintenance record with its system location, tested configuration and replacement notes. If an alternative is considered, confirm compatibility with the manufacturer or authorized supplier instead of assuming that similar appearance or numbering establishes interchangeability.

For procurement or service requests, identify ASCO SCE215C073.230/50 by its complete model code, explain the application and operating conditions, and provide the connection or signal details needed for confirmation. Retain the verified SCE215C073.230/50 identifier with the equipment documentation.
