Description
The Rheem-Ruud KT-43-NGA is an OEM replacement power head designed for use with thermostatic expansion valves (TXV) on R-22 refrigerant systems. Replacing a worn or failed TXV power head restores accurate refrigerant metering, protects the compressor from liquid slugging, and brings your system back to peak efficiency without the cost of a full valve replacement.
Product Overview
The power head is the sensing and actuating element of a thermostatic expansion valve. It responds to suction line temperature and pressure to modulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, maintaining the correct superheat for reliable, efficient operation. The KT-43-NGA is engineered to Rheem-Ruud specifications, ensuring a precise fit and performance match for compatible equipment.
