Hussmann 403865 Expansion Valve Efve 1/5 C

Product Description

The HUSSMANN 403865 is an expansion valve designed for commercial refrigeration systems. This component regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, maintaining the proper pressure differential that controls evaporator temperature and system efficiency. The EFVE 1/5 C designation indicates a specific flow capacity rating suited to the matched evaporator load. This valve is a factory replacement part sourced through Hussmann parts and accessories, typically installed by licensed refrigeration technicians during routine maintenance or component failure service calls.

This expansion valve is intended for commercial refrigeration applications where precise refrigerant metering is required. Typical installations include reach-in cases, walk-in coolers, and display cases found in grocery, foodservice, and cold-storage environments. The EFVE series is commonly used in medium- and low-temperature refrigeration circuits. Installation is performed as part of a system service procedure involving refrigerant recovery and recharge.
