New White Paper: “The Insider’s Guide to Applying Miniature Solenoid Valves,” from ASCO Valve

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — April 11, 2011 — A new white paper, “The Insider’s Guide to Applying Miniature Solenoid Valves,” consolidates the expert views of designers and manufacturers to provide a step-by-step resource for applying miniature solenoid valves for myriad uses across multiple industries.

The paper is available to download from http://bit.ly/h0iq7f.

“Equipment designers frequently must incorporate miniature solenoid valves into their pneumatic designs. These valves are important components of medical devices and instrumentation as well as environmental, analytical, and similar product applications,” said white paper author Mike Elsigian, marketing manager, ASCO Valve, Inc.

In the white paper, Elsigian defines which requirements are critical for common applications. He details how the selection of miniature solenoid valves for the design of a given device usually involves finely balancing tradeoffs among competing pressures for reliability, service life, light weight, higher flow, optimized power use, standards compliance, and more.

Elsigian also highlights the introduction of newer valve technologies that can lessen or eliminate difficult compromises — while increasing performance. “New miniature solenoid valve technologies represent the fusion of several innovative approaches to meet the widest possible range of demands from knowledgeable designers across multiple industries,” he said.

“All too often, these designers find themselves frustrated as they face compromise after compromise. Pressure for increasingly miniaturized devices complicates every step of the design and valve selection process. And missteps can wreak havoc,” he said. “We’re hoping that the expertise we provide will assist designers in achieving the balance they need for success among the variety of often-contradictory performance requirements demanded by their applications.”

New Lead-Free Regulations Will Impact Selection of Potable Water Valves: New White Paper Details How

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — November 9, 2010 —Legislation in several states has tightened the regulation of lead content in the components of potable (drinkable) water treatment systems. With other states considering similar moves, the current pace of regulation seems unlikely to slacken.

“Lead content restrictions are likely to increase in severity in coming years, becoming widespread on the national and international scenes. Specifying engineers and purchasers of solenoid valves for potable water treatment equipment must remain aware of these trends,” said Paola Gutierrez, ASCO product marketing manager.

In a new white paper from ASCO Numatics, “How New Lead-Free Regulations Will Impact Your Selection Of Potable Water Valves,” Gutierrez acknowledges the clear message from regulators to “Get the lead out,” and explores what options are open to end users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The paper is available free for download at http://www.ascovalve.com.

The white paper discusses recent and expected legislation and its impact, and examines the choices facing specifiers and purchasers of small solenoid valves for potable water systems. It weighs the advantages and disadvantages of the various choices in materials — including brass, plastic, and stainless steel designs. According to the paper:

  • Lead-free brass valves are not yet marketed, and may not become available to any useful degree in the near future.
  • Existing plastic valves may face availability, quality, and performance problems, although the next generation of composite, engineered plastic constructions holds promise for solving some or all of these challenges.
  • Stainless steel valves from reputable manufacturers represent the single currently practical choice for OEMs and users who seek ready availability, ensured reliability, proven performance, and tested compliance.

The white paper also notes the solutions that smart planners should consider for current and future use.

“Specifying engineers typically choose from existing manufactured components for use in their OEM equipment. When evaluating these components, they must identify those that currently satisfy the new lead-free regulations — as well as delivering the price, reliability, and performance they require,” Gutierrez said.

ASCO Introduces Series 8256/8356 Stainless Steel Solenoid Valves with NSF 61 & 169 Approvals

FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY – July 16, 2007 – ASCO, the world’s leading manufacturer of solenoid valves, today introduced its NSF Stainless Steel valves.

These solenoid valves carry National Sanitary Foundation (NSF) 61 and 169 approvals, permitting their use in both potable water or food service applications. In addition, these valves are also accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).

“With its dual NSF ratings and rugged stainless steel body, our valve can be incorporated across a wide variety of light industrial and commercial applications,” said Nicholas Buccheri, Vice President, Marketing, ASCO. The NSF Stainless Steel 8256/8356 series valves can be used in any application where a valve is needed to control consumables such as potable water. This includes food service and ice making equipment, vegetable misters and sprayers, beverage dispensers, water purification and conditioning systems, animal feeding equipment, automatic faucets, humidification systems, and dental equipment.

The new valve family comes in 2-way and 3-way constructions with 316 stainless steel bodies. This stainless steel design ensures that strict NSF standards for minimizing lead leaching are met. Unlike many competitors who only use NSF approved materials, ASCO’s NSF valves are fully certified, making it easier for OEMs to have their systems approved. Customers will also benefit from rugged threaded ports, which are stronger than plastic and prevent cross-threading and stripping.

NSF Stainless Steel 8256/8356 series solenoid valves are now available globally from ASCO sales representatives and distributors. For more information, contact ASCO at 800-972-ASCO, by e-mail at info-valve@asco.com or visit www.ascovalve.com.
