ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert Solenoid Valve Repair Kits? Just Replace with ODE Solenoid Valves

ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert Solenoid Valve Repair Kits? Just Replace with ODE Solenoid Valves

In industrial applications, solenoid valves play a crucial role in controlling fluid and gas flow. Brands like ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert have long dominated the market, offering durable and reliable solutions. However, when these solenoid valves fail, companies often face a critical decision: Should we repair the faulty solenoid valve or replace it with a better alternative?

At Hydronics Depot Inc., we firmly believe that instead of investing time and money into repairing ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert solenoid valves, you should switch to a superior alternative—ODE solenoid valves

Here’s why: 


1. Best of Both Worlds with Quality & Affordability

One of the biggest advantages of ODE solenoid valves is their competitive pricing compared to ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert. While these brands have built their reputation over decades, they have also significantly increased prices due to brand recognition and OEM markups.

Why ODE Offers a Better Price-Performance Ratio:

  • Lower Cost Without Sacrificing Quality – ODE solenoid valves are made in Italy with the highest standards but without excessive branding premiums.
  • Direct Supply Chains – Unlike ASCO and Parker, which rely on extensive distribution networks (adding multiple layers of markups), ODE keeps costs lower by operating with a more streamlined supply chain, from us to you directly.
  • Affordable Replacement Coils and Seals – Instead of paying high prices for ASCO, Parker, or Bürkert replacement parts, ODE offers cost-effective spare components without inflated pricing.
  • Bulk Pricing and Discounts – For businesses purchasing multiple solenoid valves, Hydronics Depot Inc provides better pricing structures that reduce overall maintenance costs. 

Switching to ODE means you get a high-quality, Italian-made solenoid valve at great prices, making it a smarter investment.


2. High Cost of Repair vs. Cost-Effective Replacement

Many industrial users assume that repairing a solenoid valve is a cost-effective choice. However, the reality is quite the opposite.

  • Repair Kits Are Expensive – ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert often charge premium prices for replacement diaphragms, seals, and coils.
  • Labor Costs Add Up – Repairing a valve requires skilled labor, adding downtime and additional service charges.
  • Uncertain Reliability – Even after repair, the valve may not fit to seal and function optimally long-term, with potential leakage issues arising soon after due to misfitting internal parts.

On the other hand, ODE solenoid valves provide a high-quality, cost-efficient replacement solution that eliminates these unnecessary expenses.


3. Availability & Lead Times

Getting replacement parts for ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert solenoid valves can be a nightmare due to supply chain delays and long lead times. Many industries rely on just-in-time inventory, making these wait times unacceptable.

With ODE solenoid valves, you get:

  • Readily available stock
  • Quick shipping
  • Minimal downtime

This means your operations keep running smoothly without extended waiting periods for expensive repair kits. 


4. Seamless Interchangeability & Easy Installation

One of the biggest concerns when switching solenoid valve brands is compatibility. Fortunately, ODE solenoid valves are designed in most parts as drop-in replacements for ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert models, ensuring an easy transition without modifying existing systems.

Coil Compatibility & Options

ODE solenoid valves support a wide range of interchangeable coils, making them compatible with various electrical setups, including:

  • AC (Alternating Current) Coils: 12V, 24V, 48V, 110V, 230V, 380V
  • DC (Direct Current) Coils: 4.5V, 6V, 9V, 12V, 24V, 48V, 120V
  • Low Power Coils: Ideal for energy-efficient applications

ODE coils are DIN plug compatible, meaning they can be directly swapped into existing installations without requiring rewiring or additional modifications. Molded cables at different lengths and LED connectors, IP67 enhancements are available addons. 

Sealing Material Options for Different Applications

ODE solenoid valves are available with different seal materials to handle various fluids and operating conditions. These include:

Seal Material Best Suited For
NBR (Nitrile Rubber) Air, water, light oils, and general-purpose applications
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Hot water, low pressure steam, and some aggressive chemicals
FKM (Viton®) Chemicals, oils, fuels, and high-temperature applications
PTFE (Teflon®) Highly aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, high pressure steam, and food-grade applications
H-NBR Low temperature (-40c/-40f))


Thread & Port Size Interchangeability

ODE solenoid valves are available in the same standard port sizes and thread types used by ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert, including:

  • 1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", and 3" NPT/BSP connections
  • Flanged and manifold mounting options for specific industrial setups

This means you can replace your existing solenoid valve without modifying pipework or fittings.

5. Italian Engineering with Superior Build Quality

ODE solenoid valves are manufactured in Italy with high-grade materials and superior craftsmanship. Unlike some competitors, ODE prioritizes:

  • Stainless steel, brass, nickel-plated brass, and composite materials for maximum durability
  • Enhanced coil technology for consistent operation
  • Precision-engineered seals for superior leak prevention
  • Simplified internal components reduce breakage, unlike other brands that use multiple internal parts, increasing failure points.

Why should you settle for a repaired ASCO, Parker, or Bürkert valve when you can have a brand-new ODE valve with better longevity and performance?


6. Long-Term Reliability

Repairing a solenoid valve doesn’t extend its lifespan—it just delays the next failure. Many ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert users find themselves repairing the same valve more than once before ultimately replacing it.

Instead, ODE solenoid valves offer:

  • Longer lifespan with less maintenance
  • Reliable performance under demanding conditions

When you switch to ODE, you’re not just getting a temporary fix—you’re investing in a long-term solution.


Final Verdict: Stop Repairing, Start Replacing

If you're currently repairing ASCO, Parker, or Bürkert solenoid valves, it's time to reconsider.

  • Stop wasting money on expensive parts and labor.
  • Avoid extended downtimes waiting for replacement kits.
  • Upgrade to a cost-effective, high-performance ODE solenoid valve instead.

At Hydronics Depot Inc., we supply a full range of ODE solenoid valves that seamlessly replace ASCO, Parker, and Bürkert models—at a better price. Contact us today to find the perfect fit for your system and make the smart switch to ODE.
