Description
The Copeland 058490 (Model HFES 20 HCA 5FT 7/8 x 1 1/8 ODF S/T) is a heavy-duty, externally equalized Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) engineered for demanding commercial heat pump applications. Designed to deliver precise refrigerant metering at 20-ton capacity, this valve ensures optimal system efficiency and reliable superheat control across a wide range of operating conditions.
Featuring sweat (ODF) connections and a straight-body configuration, the 058490 integrates cleanly into new installations and retrofit projects alike. The 5-foot capillary tube provides installation flexibility, allowing the thermostatic bulb to be positioned accurately on the suction line for responsive, accurate sensing. External equalization ensures consistent performance even in systems with higher pressure drops across the evaporator coil — a critical requirement in larger commercial heat pump systems.
