Application
The Lennox 49K03 TXV is intended as a direct OEM replacement for Lennox split-system air conditioners and heat pumps utilizing R-22 refrigerant. Proper TXV operation is critical to system performance — a faulty or undersized expansion valve can lead to poor cooling capacity, compressor damage, or reduced efficiency. Replacing a worn or failed TXV with the correct OEM part restores system performance and protects the compressor.
