Detailed Breakdown of the Code

• ASCO SOLENOID VALVE: The manufacturer and product type.

• 83: The Series Number. ASCO’s 83 series is a very common line of 2-way, direct-acting solenoid valves for general purpose use with water, air, light oil, and steam.

• 14: The Pipe Size. This indicates a 1/4″ NPT (National Pipe Taper) threaded connection.

• C: The Body Material. “C” almost certainly stands for Brass, which is corrosion-resistant and standard for water applications.

• 15: The Orifice Size. This is a 5/32″ orifice, which determines the flow rate.

• 14 PIPE WATER: Confirms the 1/4″ NPT pipe size and that the valve is rated for Water service.

• 23: The Voltage & Frequency Code. This code decodes to 480V, 60 Hz, AC.

• A: The Valve Operator (Solenoid) Type. “A” typically indicates a Standard, NEMA Class A (105°C) solenoid with a Class F (155°C) insulation system.

• R: The Seal Material. “R” stands for Buna-N (Nitrile) rubber, which is an excellent, general-purpose elastomer for water and has a good temperature range.

• 45: This is likely a Spare Parts Kit number or a specific internal design revision code. It’s not a primary ordering characteristic.
