Sporlan Controls 120458 7/8″ x 1-1/8″ ODF 5′ Cap Thermostatic Expansion Valve

Description

Sporlan Controls 120458 Thermostatic Expansion Valve

The Sporlan Controls 120458 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) engineered to deliver precise refrigerant metering and superior superheat control in commercial and residential refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Backed by Sporlan’s decades of expertise in refrigeration flow control, this valve helps optimize system efficiency, protect the compressor, and extend overall equipment life.

Product Overview

Thermostatic expansion valves are the heart of any direct-expansion refrigeration circuit. The Sporlan 120458 modulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator in direct response to suction-line superheat, ensuring the evaporator operates at peak capacity while preventing liquid refrigerant slugging at the compressor. The included 5-foot capillary tube provides flexible sensing bulb placement for accurate superheat sensing across a wide range of installation configurations.

Key Features

• 7/8″ inlet x 1-1/8″ ODF outlet connections for straightforward field installation
• 5-foot capillary tube for versatile sensing bulb positioning
• Precise superheat control to maximize evaporator efficiency
• Durable construction built to Sporlan’s stringent quality standards
• Compatible with a wide range of refrigerants used in commercial and residential HVAC/R systems
