Carrier EA36UC050 5/8″ x 7/8″ ODF 5-Ton 5′ Cap TXV

Description

The Carrier EA36UC050 is a factory-engineered Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) designed to deliver precise refrigerant metering and optimal system performance in 5-ton residential and light-commercial cooling applications. With its 5-foot capillary tube, the valve provides flexible installation positioning between the sensing bulb and the valve body, making it well-suited for a wide range of evaporator configurations.

Key Features

• 5-ton (50,000 BTU/hr) refrigerant metering capacity
• 5/8″ ODF liquid line inlet connection
• 7/8″ ODF suction line outlet connection
• 5-foot capillary tube for flexible sensing bulb placement
• Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) design for accurate superheat control
• Genuine Carrier OEM replacement component
• Engineered for compatibility with Carrier split-system air conditioners and heat pumps

Why Upgrade to a TXV?

Unlike fixed-orifice metering devices, a thermostatic expansion valve continuously modulates refrigerant flow in response to actual system load and evaporator superheat. This dynamic control helps maintain consistent superheat, protects the compressor from liquid slugging, and improves overall system efficiency — especially during part-load conditions.

Application

• Designed for use in Carrier split-system air conditioning and heat pump systems
• Ideal for 5-ton residential and light-commercial evaporator coil installations
• Direct OEM replacement for systems originally equipped with the EA36UC050 valve
