Copeland 054988 Externally Equalized TXV, 1.5 Ton, R502, 3/8″ x 1/2″ Flare, Angle Body, 5′ Cap Tube

Description

Overview

The Copeland 054988 is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature commercial refrigeration applications. Built around R502 refrigerant with a 1.5-ton capacity rating, this externally equalized valve delivers consistent superheat control and efficient system performance across a wide range of operating conditions.

Key Features

• Externally equalized design for accurate superheat control, ideal for systems with longer or higher-pressure-drop evaporators
• Angle body configuration for flexible installation in tight or angled piping arrangements
• 3/8″ inlet x 1/2″ outlet SAE flare connections for secure, leak-resistant refrigerant line hookup
• 5-foot capillary tube provides installation flexibility and precise bulb placement
• Rated for R502 refrigerant at 1.5-ton capacity
• Medium temperature charge formulation optimized for medium-temp refrigeration applications
• Durable construction engineered to Copeland quality standards

Application

This TXV is well-suited for medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems — including walk-in coolers, display cases, and reach-in refrigerators — where precise refrigerant flow control and stable superheat are critical to system efficiency and compressor protection. The externally equalized design makes it the preferred choice when evaporator pressure drop is a factor.
