Icp 1186386 Txv Kit R-410A Thermostatic Expansion Valve

Product Description

The INTERNATIONAL COMFORT PRODUCTS 1186386 is a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) kit designed for use with R-410A refrigerant systems. The TXV meters refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil by sensing evaporator outlet temperature and pressure, then adjusting the valve orifice to maintain proper superheat. This mechanical regulation improves system efficiency by preventing refrigerant flood-back and ensuring the compressor receives fully vaporized refrigerant. The kit format includes the components needed for a complete field replacement. Licensed HVAC technicians install this valve as part of routine coil service or system efficiency upgrades.

This TXV kit is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications, including split-system air conditioners and heat pumps using R-410A refrigerant. It is designed to regulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator under varying load conditions, making it applicable across a range of cooling and heating-mode operation scenarios. Installers working on light commercial chillers operating on R-410A may also find this valve applicable to their systems.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for R-410A refrigerant systems
• Regulates refrigerant flow by sensing evaporator temperature and pressure to maintain target superheat
• Kit format supports complete field replacement without fabricating individual components
• Suitable for residential and light commercial air conditioners and heat pumps
• Mechanical superheat control reduces compressor flood-back risk and supports consistent system efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement TXV kit for residential and light commercial R-410A HVAC systems, including split-system air conditioners and heat pumps.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician. Recover all system refrigerant before removing the existing TXV, following safe refrigerant handling procedures. Isolate and de-energize the system before beginning work. After installation, evacuate the system to the appropriate micron level before recharging with R-410A to manufacturer specifications.
