Description
The Copeland 057316 is a heavy-duty Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for medium-temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications requiring precise refrigerant metering and reliable system performance. Designed to handle the demands of 10-ton systems, this externally equalized valve ensures accurate superheat control even in applications with significant pressure drop across the evaporator.
Key Features
- 10-ton capacity rating for large commercial and industrial refrigeration systems
- Compatible with R-22 and R-407C refrigerants — ideal for both legacy and retrofit applications
- Medium-temperature charge optimized for standard refrigeration and comfort cooling evaporator temperature ranges
- External equalizer design compensates for evaporator pressure drop, delivering consistent superheat control across the entire coil
- 7/8″ ODF sweat inlet and 1-1/8″ ODF sweat outlet connections for secure, leak-free brazed installation
- 5-foot capillary tube provides flexible bulb placement and routing during installation
- Sweat (ODF) connections compatible with standard copper tubing and brazing practices

Application
The Copeland 057316 TXV is well suited for commercial refrigeration systems, large split-system air conditioners, and process cooling equipment operating on R-22 or R-407C refrigerants. The externally equalized design makes it particularly effective in multi-circuit evaporators or any coil where distributor pressure drop would otherwise compromise superheat accuracy. Technicians will appreciate the generous 5-foot capillary tube, which allows the sensing bulb to be positioned at the optimal location on the suction line for the most accurate refrigerant control.
