Copeland 056029 R502 1-Ton Medium Temp Externally Equalized TXV, 3/8″ x 1/2″ Sweat, 5′ Cap Tube

Description

Overview

The Copeland 056029 is a precision-engineered Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) designed for reliable refrigerant metering in medium-temperature commercial refrigeration applications. Operating with R502 refrigerant at a 1-ton capacity, this externally equalized valve delivers accurate superheat control to protect compressors and maximize system efficiency. Model HFES 1 RC 5FT 3/8 x 1/2 ODF S/T.

Key Features

• Refrigerant: R502 — optimized for medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems
• Capacity: 1 Ton — ideal for small to medium commercial refrigeration applications
• Temperature Range: Medium temperature charge for reliable operation across standard commercial refrigeration conditions
• External Equalization: Equalizer port compensates for pressure drop across the evaporator, ensuring accurate superheat control in longer or multi-circuit evaporators

Application

This TXV is suited for medium-temperature commercial refrigeration systems using R502 refrigerant, including walk-in coolers, display cases, and reach-in refrigerators. The external equalizer design makes it particularly effective in systems with evaporators that have a notable pressure drop from inlet to outlet, ensuring consistent superheat and stable system performance.

Why Choose the Copeland 056029 TXV?

Copeland is a trusted name in refrigeration components, and this TXV reflects that heritage of quality. The sweat connection design ensures a robust, leak-free installation, while the 5-foot capillary tube gives technicians the flexibility needed for proper bulb placement. The external equalizer port ensures the valve responds accurately to true evaporator outlet conditions — not inlet pressure — for superior superheat management and compressor protection.
