The TXV meters refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, maintaining the correct superheat level to protect the compressor and optimize system efficiency. This valve is a critical refrigerant-circuit component installed by licensed HVAC technicians during system commissioning, retrofit, or service work. At 1.15 pounds, it is a compact, purpose-built component matched to the pressure and flow characteristics of R454B, a lower-GWP refrigerant increasingly specified in modern residential and light-commercial equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is intended for 5-ton split or packaged systems charged with R454B refrigerant. It is suited for residential and light-commercial HVAC installations where equipment has been designed or updated to operate on R454B. Technicians replacing a failed TXV or retrofitting a coil assembly for R454B compatibility will find this valve appropriate for those applications. Always verify system tonnage and refrigerant type before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP A2L alternative gaining adoption in new HVAC equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for 5-ton system capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 1.15 pounds for straightforward handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeters refrigerant flow to maintain proper evaporator superheat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part from GENERAL ELECTRIC for reliable fitment in GE-compatible systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style TXV replacement for 5-ton HVAC systems operating on R454B refrigerant.

Recover all refrigerant and relieve system pressure before disconnecting any refrigerant-circuit components. Ensure the replacement valve is oriented correctly per the manufacturer orientation marking and that the sensing bulb is secured firmly to the suction line with proper thermal contact. Verify superheat settings after recharge to confirm correct valve operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e: R454B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 ton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e: HVAC Accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: TXV Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GENERAL ELECTRIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26Z72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GENERAL ELECTRIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306838688050,"sku":"26Z72","price":82.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309549195.png?v=1781300080","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/general-electric-26z72-txv-valve-5-ton-r454b","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
