Carrier 15500220a00065 Refrigeration Piston

Product Description

The CARRIER 15500220a00065 is a genuine OEM replacement piston designed for use in Carrier HVAC refrigeration systems. The piston is a precision metering component that controls refrigerant flow within the refrigerant circuit, working in conjunction with the piston housing to regulate the expansion of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil. At 1 inch in all three dimensions, this compact part is a direct drop-in replacement for the original component. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part during system servicing or as part of a refrigerant circuit repair.

This piston is intended for residential and light commercial Carrier HVAC systems where a fixed-orifice metering device is used in place of a thermostatic expansion valve. Fixed pistons are commonly found in split-system air conditioners and heat pumps. The compact 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch form factor allows installation in standard piston assemblies without modification. This part is sourced directly from the OEM, ensuring dimensional accuracy and material consistency with original equipment specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician certified to handle refrigerants under EPA Section 608 regulations. The refrigerant system must be properly recovered and the unit de-energized before accessing the piston assembly. Inspect the piston bore and housing for debris or damage before installing the new piston, and ensure the piston size matches the system's required metering orifice for proper system performance.
