Description
Copeland 054942 Externally Equalized Thermal Expansion Valve
The Copeland 054942 (Model HFE 2 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 SAE ANG) is a precision-engineered thermal expansion valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature HVAC and refrigeration applications. Built to handle both R-22 and R-407C refrigerants, this valve delivers consistent 2-ton capacity performance with an externally equalized design that compensates for pressure drop across the evaporator — ensuring accurate superheat control even in longer or more complex coil circuits.
Key Features
- Refrigerant compatibility: R-22 and R-407C
- Rated capacity: 2 Ton
- Temperature application: Medium temperature charge
- Body style: Angle body for flexible installation in tight spaces
- Inlet connection: 3/8″ SAE flare
- Outlet connection: 1/2″ SAE flare
- Capillary tube length: 5 feet for remote bulb placement flexibility
- Equalization type: Externally equalized for accurate superheat control across high-pressure-drop evaporators
- Model number: HFE 2 HC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 SAE ANG
Product Benefits
- Externally equalized design compensates for evaporator pressure drop, maintaining precise superheat regardless of coil length or complexity
- Dual refrigerant compatibility with R-22 and R-407C makes this valve suitable for both legacy systems and modern retrofit applications
- Angle body configuration simplifies installation in space-constrained equipment cabinets and line sets
- SAE flare connections provide leak-resistant, tool-friendly installation without the need for brazing
- 5-foot capillary tube allows the sensing bulb to be positioned at the optimal location on the suction line for accurate temperature sensing
- Medium temperature charge optimized for standard air conditioning and commercial refrigeration evaporator operating ranges
Applications
- Residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners
- R-22 systems requiring direct replacement or upgrade
- R-407C retrofit and new-installation systems
- Medium-temperature commercial refrigeration evaporators
- Any 2-ton evaporator circuit requiring externally equalized refrigerant flow control
