Application & Installation Notes
The internally equalized design makes the SKF 6209 TXV best suited for evaporators with minimal refrigerant-side pressure drop across the coil. The MOP charge limits the valve’s opening during high-load startup conditions, helping to prevent compressor overload. The 10-foot capillary tube provides ample reach for proper bulb mounting on the suction line. Sweat (ODF) connections ensure a leak-free, brazed installation compatible with standard copper refrigerant tubing.
