Manitowoc 15014 Expansion Valve Txv Kit KT300

Product Description

The MANITOWOC 15014 is a genuine OEM replacement expansion valve kit designed for use in Manitowoc commercial ice machines. The thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) meters refrigerant flow into the evaporator, maintaining the correct superheat level for efficient ice production. This is a factory replacement part intended to restore original refrigerant circuit performance. Installation is performed by a certified HVAC-R technician or refrigeration mechanic with EPA Section 608 certification, as the repair involves a sealed refrigerant system.

This expansion valve kit is suited for commercial ice machine applications where the original TXV has failed, is cycling erratically, or is causing poor ice quality or low yield. The KT300 designation identifies this as a kit-format replacement, which may include associated fittings or components to support a complete valve swap in the field.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM replacement part ensuring original performance specifications
• Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) controls refrigerant superheat at the evaporator inlet
• Kit format (KT300) may include ancillary fittings for a complete field replacement
• Direct replacement for failed or underperforming expansion valves in compatible Manitowoc ice machines
• Restores proper refrigerant metering to support consistent ice production cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement expansion valve for compatible Manitowoc commercial ice machine models. Verify fitment against the unit model and serial number before ordering.

Installation Notes

This repair must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified technician, as it involves opening a sealed refrigerant system. Recover all refrigerant before removing the existing valve in accordance with applicable EPA regulations and local codes. Braze or flare connections as required by the original system design, and pressure-test the circuit before recharging. Always follow the ice machine manufacturer service documentation for system restart and leak verification procedures.
