Description
Overview
The Copeland 054909 is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed to deliver reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature refrigeration applications. Built around an externally equalized design, this valve accurately responds to evaporator pressure conditions, ensuring consistent superheat control and optimal system efficiency. It is the ideal replacement or OEM-spec component for systems originally designed around R12 refrigerant at a 1-ton capacity.
Key Features
- Angle body configuration for flexible, space-efficient installation in tight refrigeration cabinets and equipment
- 3/8″ inlet x 1/2″ outlet SAE flare connections for straightforward, leak-free hookup
- 5-foot capillary tube with remote sensing bulb for accurate evaporator outlet temperature sensing
- Externally equalized design compensates for evaporator pressure drop, delivering precise superheat control across the full coil length
- Rated for R12 refrigerant at a 1-ton (12,000 BTU/hr) nominal capacity
- Medium temperature charge formulated for standard commercial refrigeration operating ranges
- Copeland quality construction for long service life and consistent performance

Application
This TXV is suited for use in commercial refrigeration systems, reach-in coolers, display cases, and other medium-temperature evaporator circuits where R12 was the original design refrigerant. The externally equalized port must be connected to the evaporator outlet (suction line) to function correctly. Always verify refrigerant compatibility and system design requirements before installation.
