Mueller Streamline a16302 Brass Double Port Compressor Valve

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE a16302 is a brass double port compressor valve with a 45-degree flare connection, designed for use in refrigeration and HVAC systems where reliable service valve performance is required. Built with a mid-seat position and rated to 700 psi maximum allowable pressure (MAP), this valve is suited for demanding system pressures found in commercial and residential refrigeration applications. The all-brass construction provides durability and corrosion resistance. Licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians install this valve as part of compressor service or system access work.

This valve is used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems requiring a double port access point at the compressor. The 45-degree flare connection at 3/8 inch accommodates standard flare fittings common in refrigeration line sets. It is appropriate for both new installations and service replacements where a compressor valve with dual port access is specified. The operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F makes it suitable for a wide variety of refrigerants and system operating conditions.

Key Features

• Double port design provides dual service access at the compressor
• 45-degree flare connection at 3/8 inch for standard refrigeration fittings
• 700 psi MAP rating handles high-pressure refrigerant systems
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F
• Mid-seat position for balanced valve operation
• All-brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compressor service valve for refrigeration and air conditioning systems using 3/8 inch 45-degree flare connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician in accordance with applicable codes and refrigerant handling regulations. Recover all refrigerant from the system before removing or replacing any compressor valve. Ensure flare connections are cut cleanly, deburred, and flared to the correct 45-degree angle before tightening to prevent leaks. Pressure-test the system and verify for leaks after installation before returning the system to operation.
