Description
Honeywell 6160 Thermal Expansion Valve with Internal Check Valve
The Honeywell 6160 (Model AACE 2 HCA 30IN 3/8 X 1/2 ODF S/T) is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) purpose-built for heat pump applications. Designed for use with R22 and R407C refrigerants at a 2-ton capacity, this externally equalized valve delivers accurate refrigerant metering and reliable system performance in both heating and cooling modes. The integrated internal check valve eliminates the need for a separate check valve in the liquid line, simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points.
Key Features
- Refrigerant compatibility: R22 and R407C
- Nominal capacity: 2 Ton — heat pump charge
- Valve body style: Straight body configuration
- Inlet connection: 3/8″ ODF sweat (liquid line)
- Outlet connection: 1/2″ ODF sweat (evaporator inlet)
- Capillary tube length: 30 inches for flexible bulb placement
- Equalization type: Externally equalized for accurate superheat control
- Integrated internal check valve for heat pump reversing cycle operation
- Model number: AACE 2 HCA 30IN 3/8 X 1/2 ODF S/T
Application & Benefits
The external equalizer connection ensures precise superheat control even in systems with higher evaporator pressure drops, making this TXV ideal for split-system heat pumps and residential or light-commercial cooling equipment. The built-in check valve supports bidirectional refrigerant flow, allowing the system to operate efficiently in both heating and cooling modes without additional field-installed components. The 30″ capillary tube provides ample flexibility for remote bulb positioning on the suction line.
